How To Be Less Fat In College

Some helpful tips I picked up by watching afternoon t.v. and infomercials

How To Be Less Fat In College

It seems staying in shape as a college student is becoming increasingly difficult. We have zero time, unlimited amounts of stress, and a fast food restaurant on every corner. It's extremely easy to just binge eat taco bell at 3 a.m. while you're supposed to be studying for your exam the next day. Fortunately, my t.v. was stuck on Dr. Oz earlier this week, so now I am a nutrition and health expert.

1. Exercise, as seen on T.V. The first thing you're going to want to do is invest in one of those super gimmicky exercise programs you see on infomercials. They all claim that they burn like a million calories in under 20 minutes so I guess it doesn't really matter which one you buy. Personally, I've heard good things about the Ab Destroyer 5000 and the SuperTrainerMaxxxPro Elite. Both are easily installed and only cost 5 simple payments of $29.99 and one really complicated payment of $53.27!

2. Fish Oil. The next thing you should do is buy fish oil. I have no idea why but Dr. Oz had a big diagram and it looked really scientific and I believe everything I see on t.v. I'm not even sure what to do with it, to be honest. Rub it on your skin maybe?

3. Eat Nothing But Celery And Water. See, we never have time to work out, and when we do have time to work out, it's the last thing we actually want to do. But you don't have to worry about burning calories, if you don't consume any calories in the first place. Plus, water is free and celery is cheap.

4. Buy Expensive Workout Clothes And Hang Out At The Gym A Lot. I actually came up with this myself. See, every time I go to the gym there's always a lot of people just sitting around in their fancy Nike clothes and Beats ear buds. I never see them do anything other than take up the squat racks and take selfies in the mirrors, but almost all of them are really muscular so clearly they're doing something right.

5. Turn Everything Into Juice. Apparently everything is healthy if you just put it in a blender and turn it into a smoothie. Fruit, Kale, fancy berries from the Amazon, peanut butter, eggs, and just about anything you can get your hands on. If it's been juiced, it's good for you. Fact.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
