...and a stretchy New Year!

One of my biggest challenges is working out without having access to my university's recreation center. In order to battle this challenge over this upcoming Christmas break, I decided to find seven YouTube videos/channels (for the seven days of the week) with workout videos that I could do in my room at home.

1. Chloe Ting

Chloe has a variety of playlists on her channel, including workouts, travel, beauty, fashion and recipes. I love that most of her workouts are under ten minutes long. Even if I do not have time to do a full workout over break because of work or other obligations, I at least did something, even if it is a quick ten minute ab workout or a six minute butt workout.

2. Blogilates

I have done Blogilates workouts in the past and let me tell you, they kicked my butt. Cassey has such variety to all of her workouts, whether you want to do arms, abs, legs or cardio! She also has videos on her channel for healthy eats which is an awesome addition. Some of my favorite workouts of hers are her booty ones, they always make me so sore!

3. ICON UK | Danielle Peazer

I was drawn to this playlist because I absolutely love hip-hop. I danced in high school and was in hip-hop classes for three years. These workouts are so enticing to me because it makes the workout fun, while allowing me to reminisce on my high school days at my studio.

4. Pamela RF

Pamela only has two workout videos posted, however neither require equipment (besides an exercise ball!) and both are short enough to squeeze in before work or bed.

5. Fiercelivy

This channel is flexibility based, something that is incredibly important to focus on when working out. After a good workout, your muscles deserve a nice stretch. Since I moved to college and have not danced, I noticed my flexibility has diminished greatly. I am hoping that these videos will be a fun way for me to work on gaining my flexibility back.

6. Flow With Adee

This is another channel focused on flexibility but it incorporates yoga as well. If you could not tell, yoga is one of my favorite workouts lately! I love how these videos focus on certain areas of the body that may be tight or sore and provides stretching tips and techniques for them.

7. Yoga With Adriene

I have heard about Yoga With Adriene a lot recently, so I decided to check out her channel. One of her coolest features, in my opinion, is her playlist '30 Days of Yoga!' I just started yoga this semester and I am so excited that I can keep up with it over break. It is such a wonderful way to relax, de-stress, calm your mind and stretch!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
