You're probably wondering, what the heck is CHAARG??

CHAARG is an organization that aims to inspire and empower college age girls to find a passion for health and fitness. They aim to prove that fitness can and should be fun, and provides different types of workouts so that each girl can 'find their fit'. The CHAARG community has over 10,000 supportive and empowering girls involved.

CHAARG 'combines good friends + a good workout to keep every girl feeling her happiest + healthiest self'.


CHAARG was founded by Elizabeth Tavierne with the goal to bring the organization to every university in the United States and currently resides at over 50 different universities all over the nation. CHAARG has been featured in USA Today, Women'sHealth, Cosmopolitan, and The Washington Post.

The way CHAARG works is each week the chapter teams up with a local fitness studio to provide an hour-long class known as a 'studio spotlight' to provide several opportunities to gain exposure to different types of fitness. You also meet with a small group of girls of about 10-20 to do a small group workout, or grab smoothies together! It provides a community of supportive and motivating girls on campus that can hold you accountable for staying committed to your fitness journey.

CHAARG also features their very own podcast, run also by president and founder, Elizabeth Tavierne as well as a blog she also writes for. They also create their own FitPlans which are virtual workouts that can be done anywhere at any time and have an apparel shop full of cute things.

I recently just joined CHAARG this year at my college, Syracuse University, and can not wait to get involved!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
