Your OrangeTheory Class As Told By Major League Baseball

The amount of facial expression you give your coach when he/she is not looking is exponential.

OrangeTheorists, please do not get offended, for I know this is how you all feel.

When your coach tells you that it is a 2000 meter benchmark row day.

When you realize it is Orange Everest day and you are going to have to hear your coach tell you that you are going downhill.

Going from 15% incline to a 14% incline is not going downhill!

When your coach tells you to grab a heavier weight.

Even though you know that you probably should grab a heavier weight.

When you think about just walking out of the class but then you see all of the motivational quotes on the wall.

Yay me, I guess.

When "Stronger" by Kanye West comes on.

I know whenever that song plays, I automatically do not feel like I am dying anymore.

When you and your coach high five because you both thought you were going to die.

It's finally over.

That mom squad that thinks they are the yoga queens when everyone is stretching.

When your coach announces that Lululemon is doing a special sale just for OrangeTheory members.

When you leave and think about how glad you are that you did not die.

 When you see your performance summary and you needed one more splat point to get the "afterburn."

I know it might not seem like it, but I really do enjoy going to Orangetheory Fitness (sometimes).

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
