Between Kendell Jenner and Gigi Hadid (#goals) to the @RealGrumpyCat, there's something for everyone. Instagram is full of inspiration. But let's use Instagram for more than posting pictures -- let's use it to become our own #fitspo.

Fitness Accounts have become all the rage. There are everyday men and women posting pictures of their sweaty faces, workout routines and mirror "swolfies" for the world to see. Your personal fitness account is created for you, not for your followers. The amount of "likes" don't matter and the people who follow you will genuinely care about the white egg spinach omelet and berries you had for breakfast. No hate, only love and thumbs up emojis for celebrating the mile you ran on the treadmill. So create an account! Brag about your workout! Give yourself an excuse to take mirror selfies in your patterned yoga pants! And make sure to follow these kick-butt (professional) fitness Instagram accounts.

1. @laisdeleonfitness

What I like most about @laisdeleonfitness is that she posts videos with demonstrations of her workout, plus, look at that body. If that's not a reason to squat I don't know what is.

2. @kayla_itsines

@kayla_itstines is an inspirational to us all. She created her own workout brand, The Bikini Body Guide, and has over 4.5 million followers in her #BGGCommunity!

Plus, look how cute her puppies are! (and her boyfriend...@tobi_pearce)

3. @jessiebabyfit

@jessiebabyfit is a positive fitness guru/model and is absolutely gorgeous. She'll make you want to put on your cutest workout gear and hit the gym ASAP!

4. @healthylivingdreams

@healthylivingdreams proves that anyone can be happy with their body. All it takes is hard work and dedication. Like she says, "The time to start is NOW."

5. @madlymish

@madlymish posts a mixture of progress pictures, workout videos, food diaries, and selfies. All of which is a perfect combination for awesome #fitspo!

The Instagram fitness community is another world to explore. Thanks to Instagram's most recent update, you can now add up to 5 Instagram accounts and switch between them without having to log out and log back in. This is included on version 7.15 for iOS and Android.

To add multiple Instagram accounts:

Go to your profile and tap or in the top right
Scroll down and tap Add Account
Enter the username and password of the account you'd like to add

To switch between accounts you've added:

Go to your profile
Tap your username at the top of the screen
Tap the account you'd like to switch to

Time to create your own account and become your own fitspiration.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.
