For all of the years I've been going to the gym, I've encountered a variety of different people. Here is a list of people I think we have all encountered at the gym once in our lives.

1. The Overachiever

The overachiever thinks they are all that and a bag of chips. They attempt to run the fastest and lift the most in order to outdo everyone else.

2. The Grunter

We get it, you lift. The grunter is constantly making noises regardless of how much weight they are lifting.

3. The Newbie

The newbie hasn't been to the gym in a while, and they seem to have forgotten how to use the machines.

4. The Oldie, but the goodie

These are the really old people that will make any twenty-year-old look out of shape.

5. The Beauty Queen

This is the girl at the gym who has all of her makeup done and her hair is in a neat ponytail. She is expecting to meet the love of her life at the gym, so she has to look perfect. But why waste all that makeup to just sweat it off?

6. The Student

These are the types of people who bring textbooks and novels to the gym. The are attempting to kill two birds with one stone, by studying for that biology test while still getting their workout done. I don't know how they do it.

7. Chatty Cathy

The Chatty Cathy will not stop talking, regardless of all the glares they are getting. It seems that all of their friends and family are at the gym, and no matter how loud your music is you can still hear them.

8. The Forgetful One

This person somehow forgot that they were going to the gym, because they are exercising in jeans or khakis or a winter coat. I mean isn't that uncomfortable?

9. The Wandering Eyes

So you're on the treadmill or the elliptical and the person next to you is constantly looking at how fast you're going or what incline your machine is set to. You move faster, they move faster.

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.
