It's a lifestyle.

Growing Up In A Gym Made You Do It
Aimee Metcalf

If you grew up in the gym life, you can relate to most of these.

1. You'll learn to live the low-carb life

Anything above 15 grams of sugar probably belongs on my cheat day. You'll also feel judged ordering a burger and not eating the bun.

2. The big 4 in Biochemistry was actually interesting

Freshman year, my professor said carbs, proteins, lipids (fats), and amino acids. I think that was the only exam I passed in her class.

3. You'll own 57 blender bottles

And they all smell like old protein shake after the first use.

4. Tupperware is an essential

Meal prep Sunday, am I right? Sadly, you know they don't last long because you'll leave them in your car for a few days (or weeks) and throw them out..

5. You get tired of drinking water

Crystal Light, Mio, or Powerade Zero is somewhere in one of your bags.

6. You'll use the gym as therapy


It's honestly the best anger management there is.

7. You'll wonder how skinny women drink sugar loaded coffee

While you're holding your non-fat, sugar-free vanilla iced coffee, add almond milk.

8. You also wonder how they can eat two bites and be full...?

Because we all know that workouts suck, but we get excited about how much more we can eat after a two hundred cal burn fest.

9. We know how to get ready on the fly

We can make ponytails perfect for the gym or cute for the night out. We're also okay with going somewhere with less makeup.

10. Gym clothes are your casual clothes

You have a Pinterest board for workout clothes and half of your casual board is Lulu Lemon and Adidas too. Leggings ARE pants and you'll wonder where crop tops are acceptable to wear.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
