A guide to the ultimate workout playlist.

Play That Funky Music

I hate working out.

I really do. I'm just gonna come right out and say it. I mean, who likes to sweat and push themselves and do arduous activity? Why can't I just obtain rock hard abs and pectoral muscles by relying solely on cookie butter and Netflix?

Unfortunately, that's not reality (sucks I know). But, I guess there's a way to make my workouts enjoyable. I do that through music. If you have a killer workout playlist, I guarantee that you can get through ANY and I mean ANY workout. Even burpees. So, if you wouldn't mind, today I want to share with YOU my Spotify Workout Playlist. Filled with motivation, inspiration, and another word that ends with "ation," this playlist gets the blood running and guns pumping.


So, without further ado, I present to you, a sneak peak to my Spotify Workout Playlist.

1. "ON THE FLOOR" BY JENNIFER LOPEZ, FEATURING PITBULL

I don't care what anyone says. This. song. is. my. JAM. Just imagine: You're on the treadmill and in front of you is a beautiful view of New York City. In the midst of this majestic sight, the synthesizer begins in a low mysterious tone, and then BAM, J-Lo hits you with a sexy beat with a splash of Pitbull. You suddenly feel motivation rushing through your thighs into your feet and before you know it, you just burned 400 calories in less than half an hour. WORK IT MAMI.


2. "WORK B****" BY BRITNEY SPEARS


I know. You're totally judging me. It's okay. Just heed my advice and listen to this song while your doing the tough work out. There is nothing like, the QUEEN, telling you "You want a hot body? You better work b****," in fact I totally applaud it. It keeps me in check and I can assure you, Ms. Spears won't fail to whip you into shape quick.


3. "SHUT UP AND DANCE" BY WALK THE MOON

Not only was this one of the hottest songs of the summer, but you feel like you can lift the world with this song. With it's killer beats and catchy melody that'll stay in your head for a straight week, you'll never want to turn this song off. Well, until you're tired of it ... then yeah, skip ahead. But seriously, for all you folks that like to pump that iron, this is the jam you gotta have. It'll get you pumped for that dead lift, or for your 250 lb. bench press.


4. "END OF TIME" BY BEYONCE

*No explanation needed*

5. "CAN'T FEEL MY FACE" BY THE WEEKND


This song just gets me going man, especially when I'm with the big boy section (it's not exclusively for boys, girls lift too) with all the free weights. You'll be able to lift so hard with this song pumping at you. You won't be able to feel your arms afterwards (see what I did there hehe)


6. "COOL FOR THE SUMMER" BY DEMI LOVATO

Just listen to the track. I'm sure you already have. The reason this song is on here is simply because Demi is BAE. No real motivation behind it. She's just bae. And she forever will be.

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.
