Everyone goes to the gym and sees these kind of people. Whether they make you mad or not, this list definitely resonates with all gym-goers.

1. The Runner

This one I don't really understand. Why would you miserably put yourself through running 10 miles every day?

Weird flex but ok.

2. The Kid With Invisible Lat Syndrome

The guy with no lats but has his arms out at all times. Sheesh buddy.

3. The Selfie King

I guess you do you. Just stop taking up all the mirror space for when I'm "checking my form."

4. The Social Butterfly

We all have that one friend that will not shut up at the gym. I love you, but please just let me finish this set.

(I think we all know the real problem is that I thrive off of social environments, and I'm probably the one who won't shut up.)

5. The Boys who hit Arms EVERY DAY and still think they're BIG.

There are other muscle groups, I promise.

6. The Girls who hit Legs EVERY DAY.

I know you feel the pressure to be "thick," but here's a trick! Having a bigger back is going to allow for the illusion of a smaller waist, therefore making the contrast between your butt and waist seem even bigger.

Please listen to me ladies.

7. The kid with the Jug

Did you really need all that water for your quick arm session? Nope, no you did not.

8. The Grunter

This one kills me. I don't wear headphones when completing heavier compound lifts, and I always hear the kids with the dumbbells which are too heavy for them start grunting unnecessarily. Ugh, what great sounds.

9. The Beauty Queen

Wearing all that make up to the gym isn't good for your skin. Well, if you're actually going to sweat.

10. The Sponsored Gymshark Athlete

Let's be honest. Any real gym rat knows we all want to be Gymshark Athletes. One day right?

11. People who take the Rack for 3 Hours

Yes! My favorite is when people tell you they have 2 more sets but end up taking 30 minutes. Ever heard of a limited rest?

12. The Mirror King

We're all guilty of looking in the mirror once in awhile. These people are just... obsessive.

I'm sure everyone can relate to at least one of these. That's not a bad thing, just means we're judging a little bit. (It's funny).

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
