...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!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
