I once listened to "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails for nearly 12 hours straight in an attempt to hurry along my inevitable descent into madness.

I failed.

The Unexpected Positive Aspects of Being in a Relationship
I’ve always been the single type. Blame it on the parents’ bad marriage, the hookup culture, or the social awkwardness so entrenched into my personality. Take into account running with the wrong crowd for a brief period and discovering handsome strangers around every corridor in college. You have a 19-year-old girl who neither needed nor wanted to get wrapped up in emotions.

Nick Newell: The MMA Fighter Taking Away All Your Excuses to Skip the Gym. Top Story - August 2018.
Full Disclosure Part of the reason I’m writing this is that I’m stressed and I can’t sleep. See, I’m a bit of a gym rat, and I think about my fitness level a lot—therefore, I stress about my waning cardiovascular strength a lot.

Kuri Gets Her Name
#HeyKuri #KuriStory “Alright,” Sean patted the little white robot on its head. “Take care of Chloe, okay?” The security bot warbled and its wide, round eyes blinked. It watched Sean disappear down the hallway.

MP Wreckage Review
Muscle Pharm’s latest preworkout put me on blast today. For the last year, I’ve been using preworkout supplements on and off, trying out a slew of whatever was in front of me. My supplement of choice, however, has been C4 Ultimate, as it gave me a solid, steady boost in energy and endurance.

Gym Gear
It’s easy to get sucked into the fitness world, with all its flashy, overpriced shaker bottles and steamy, sexy photoshoots (professional photographers and mirror selfies both count).

Shit to Avoid in the Gym
The image: A bunch of sweaty, muscular, narrow-eyed meatheads lifting dumbells the size of your body. I know what it’s like to be brand new to the gym. I remember how I thought a 23-ounce water bottle would be sufficient, how fresh my shoes were, and how I wouldn’t admit to myself that I had no idea what I was doing.

How to Eat: IIFYM. Top Story - December 2017.
Also known as macro-counting, this dieting practice requires a more in-depth understanding of your food than most other diets. With this technique, you figure out your nutritional requirements —based on your goals, activity level, etc.—and work your meals into those numbers. It has many wonderful aspects, not the least of which is that it’s more flexible than other “diets.” However, like all great things, it has aspects which some may find distasteful (ie, math).

Adderall Achievements
A part of me still loves addy. The overachiever in me does—the part of me that would gladly trade in my well being for a good day’s work.

Dear Theresa...
Starry-eyed girl that I am, I wanted to believe in you the moment I heard of you. As the leader of a powerful nation, you’ve peaked in terms of ‘powerful woman.’

Full Sail University Review
I graduated from high school in June 2015. It was a sunny day in the football stadium, no one listened to the commencement speakers, and tearful hugs were met with lies of “Of course we’ll hang out.” It was a grand finale to a horrible four years and long search for the answer to one of life’s biggest questions:

Lifting and the Little Things
Something awful happened a little while ago. I failed my deadlifts. Well, I didn’t fail them — not exactly. I just didn’t quite reach the goals I had set for myself, which is still horrible, in my opinion.
