The guy with Invisible Lat Syndrome (ILS) or the girl who spends her time taking selfies for an hour and then leaves? Pick your fighter.

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).

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
