We all want to look good, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Looking like your favorite Instagram model in the Summer is something every girl wants, we want the tan, the body, the hair, the everything. But just because I may go to the gym every day in the months leading to warm weather or count my calories, does not mean I will automatically transform into looking like someone I'm not.

We would all be living our best life if we could eat whatever we want or sit on the couch all day and not gain a pound or feel lazy.

Here are 10 unfit thoughts I have when I'm supposed to be training for that summer bod.

1. If I get a spray tan I will go from a 5 to a 10.

While a tan always helps you look more alive, it does not make you look skinnier or more fit.

2. Waking up everyday thinking, "Maybe today will be a cheat day".

If everyday is your "cheat day," it's technically not considered a cheat day anymore.

3. I wish I looked like her.

Never, never, never compare yourself to others, we all were born with different genetics for a reason.

4. If I just lay in bed all day and not eat maybe I'll still lose weight.

Nope, not gonna happen girlfriend. To get results you have to work for them.

5. If I go to the gym 3 times a day it will speed up the process.

Tired this, doesn't work. All this does it make you tired and weak.

6. If I cut out every bad thing out of my diet forever I'll look the way I want to.

You might be able to do this for a little while, but it never lasts long and before you know it you'll be shoving junk food down your throat.

7. Juice cleanse, juice cleanse, juice cleanse.

It's called a cleanse for a reason. It's more unhealthy to do this everyday than to just limit your food portions.

8. Maybe he will finally notice me.

Never do this for a guy, always do it for yourself.

9. Why don't I have abs yet?

Sorry sweetheart, but it takes years of hard work to achieve this goal.

10. If I go to the gym, I can eat that bag of chips.

Don't do it to yourself. Don't ruin everything you just went to the gym for.

All in all, if you want to look good you have to do it the right way. Everything takes time and everyone has those bad thoughts, you're not alone. A healthy diet, an active lifestyle and lots of water are all you need.

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.

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.
