How To Get A Beach Body For The Summer

Ahhh, it's that time of the year again: summer. A time to show off yourself at the two piece bikini. As a person who barely exercises and has the eating habits of a 5 year old, I am the expert on how to get a bikini worthy body. Here is the track plan to get the bod of your dreams:

1. Admit that you don't exercise enough.

C'mon, it's okay to admit that you should spend a bit more time doing cardio or lifting weights. But you need to start if you want to have the freaking abs of the screaming people on the covers of Insanity.

2. Start to plan your meals.

An important part of getting the body you want is to cut out sugar and carbs. Start to plan your meals so you can save time, and can make sure you don't go astray.

3. Realize that even the foods you thought were good for you are bad for you.

Seriously, even a Clif Bar has 22 grams of sugar. If you look on CalorieCounter, it claims that eating carrots are bad for you, because the sugar level is too high.

4. Cry because you realize the only good thing to eat is lettuce

You're going to have to eat a salad for lunch. You're going to become one of those people.

5. Start going to the gym.

Get up early, put on clothes that you don't mind getting down and dirty in, and arrive to the gym.

6. Realize that everyone at the gym knows what they're doing, but you don't.

What the hell do these machines do? Why is that ripped guy doing that with the machine when you were doing it another way?

7. Feel embarrassed because you can only stay on the treadmill for about 5 minutes.

Let's be realistic: hell isn't flames flying everywhere. It's a never-ending treadmill.

8. Sing a song as you attempt to lift weights.

*WEEEEEEE ARE THE CHHAMMMMMPPPIIIOOOOONNNSSSSSS, MY FRRIIIIEEEENNNNNDDDDSSS*

9. Leave the gym feeling disappointed in yourself, and eat a chocolate bar because you feel sad about not having the perfect body.

And cry. Cry some more.

10. Realize that there is one way to get a beach body without the effort of it.

What's the secret?

11. Put on a bathing suit.

I know it can be difficult. But just do it.

12. Go to the freaking beach.

Cause in all honesty, no one cares.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
