Exercise. Not everyone has the motivation.
College students who find the motivation and set aside time to work out find that the benefits go far beyond the gym walls.
Biochemistry junior Phil Worley said that what motivates to work out regularly are team sports.
"Competition is the easiest way to motivate me to work out harder, more, and faster," Worley said.
Danielle Scherr, a computer science sophomore, said that dance has always motivated and been her workout, so she always fits exercise in her schedule.
"I find time to work out by getting up early to start my day off with it and fitting everything else I have to do in the rest of the day, or getting everything done earlier in the evening, and exercising before bed," Scherr said.
Scherr said she is in class four hours a day and does homework three to four hours a day but works out five times a week.
Pre Med sophomore Brandon Baroff said he also is in class and does homework for that long and still has time to exercise.
"I exercise to be active, relieve stress, and try to look good," Baroff said.

Exercise in College - Experts and Professionals
Running, lifting, doing abs and other workouts are beyond what a college student is expected to do, but those things may help them further succeed in their studies.
Students who do not work out said that they lack the motivation to get to the gym and work out.
Kinesiology and motivation expert Deborah Feltz said students can work on motivation to make themselves better at everything.
"Partnering up with someone who is more capable, but not completely out of reach and league, will make the said student work harder and achieve more," Feltz said.
The benefits of the exercise go beyond the body health and good looks, personal trainer Mike Ball said.
"The benefits are being healthier and consistent. It leads to eating better and having a better nutrition, being more patient and persistent in one's academic life and also in relationships," Ball said.
In order to get those benefits though, Ball said the students has to put in the effort and time.
"You have to make it a priority, make time for it and make workouts efficient, even if it's twice a week for half an hour. It'll help you control stress and learn better," Ball said.

MSU Dance Marathon Meeting Recap
The MSU Dance Marathon Executive Board decided at their last meeting that they will be more strict with the committee members by having weekly progress checks on their tasks.
Vice President Shelby Nadolski conducted the meeting with the e-board in a casual manner, but was strict when all committee members showed up.
"We have to make sure all of them are coming and that we're making progress. We have to know they're getting their stuff done for each subcommittee," Nadolski said.
At their meeting on Wednesday night President Maria Guracech discussed how much farther ahead they are in planning compared to last year.
"By this time last year we didn't even have a date. We waited until February last year, so this is a good progress," Guracech said.
They met as a whole committee then broke off into subcommittees, in which each chair discussed how to make progress in the different sections.
Some of the subcommittees are fundraising, recruitment, advertising and public relations, and sponsorship.
Advertising and Public Relations Chair Megan Dean said they are trying to advertise by contacting different newspapers.
Nadolski said the next fundraisers are at Noodles & Company on 205 East Grand River Av. on November 18.
MSU Dance Marathon Meeting Preview
The MSU Dance Marathon has been preparing for their annual Dance Marathon and will hold a meeting Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
The Dance Marathon will happen on March 29 and it is a 12-hour event in which all participants must stand for the full 12 hours.
The executive board of the organization has been preparing all year by having weekly meetings - not only with the e-board but also with the all committees members - and has multiple fundraisers throughout the year that will help cover the final event.
Dancers that attend the event will be required to pay a participation fee of $15 and raise $100 or more for their foundation, which has been The Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation.
The foundation they support is local and was made to remember a former MSU speech pathology student - Cassie Hines - who died at the age of 21 when she was a junior at the university.
Registration for the Dance Marathon is already open to anyone who wants to participate.
Last year was MSU DM's most successful year. They raised over $25,570.92 and "hope to raise more this year," Vice President Shelby Nadolski said.

Dead Teen Comes Back to Warn Others in Ravenswood
Miranda Collins, teenager who died in the car accident on the show Ravenswood, returned to warn others of the danger coming.
Caleb Rivers, another teen in the accident, thought he was dreaming when he envisioned her a few times. He read the letter from Collins' mother to Collins and she walked in while he was wide awake, so he realized she was actually there.
Collins said "it's cold" coming back, "like swimming in an ocean and into a cold current."
Remy Beaumont helped Rivers get Collins' bag back from Beaumont's car, which Collins said contained important things, and discussed the curse that was supposed to kill five people and suggested answers on why it only killed one of them - Collins.
Luke Matheson got angry at Rivers for involving his "girlfriend" in his plans to get the bag back.
While Matheson, Beaumont and Rivers were in the junkyard, Olivia Matheson - who won homecoming queen the day of the accident and was getting her picture taken - broke ties with her best friend because the supposed best friend lied about a boy.
The episode ends with the camera weaving through Collins' uncle graveyard like a maze, leading to episode three.

Ravenswood Preview
The second episode of the season one of Ravenswood replays at 7 p.m. tonight on ABC Family.
Ravenswood is a spinoff of the TV show Pretty Little Liars, also on ABC Family. It is about five teenagers, one boy from the town of Rosewood from Pretty Little Liars, and there is a curse that every time a soldier comes home from war, five people die in a tragic accident.
On the previous episode, the pilot, the five teens, Miranda Collins, Caleb Rivers, Luke and Olivia Matheson and Remy Beaumont, are brought together in a car ride after Beaumont is in her car with Collins and Rivers, sees the Mathesons walking and offers them a ride.
Beaumont continues driving when Collins supposedly sees someone standing in the middle of the road of the bridge, grabs the wheel and drives the car into the river.
Collins was haunted by the creature before in her uncle's house and is the only one that saw the woman wearing black.

Blog The Last
The reason there's only a few documents, videos and movies on 9/11 is because most people don't want to see the tragic part of the US history, they want to see a fairytale, like a love story or a dream coming true. And many people think it's bad to show the world how bad that day was and how many people died and suffered because of some people that just wanted to hurt others and that didn't care about anything else, not even their own lives. But there's no logical explanation why people would do something like that.
The song from Bruce Springsteen that is a really good anthem for 9/11 is Paradise. This song says that for some people this day was like any other, because maybe it didn't mean anything to them, or because they didn't know about it. But for the people that were affected, the only thing they could think of was of the people in the building, and they just wanted everything to be alright and that this was just a dream. For the family's that lost people they loved that day, they wanted to have the person by them and think and know everything was going to be fine, but that was only a dream, because in reality, they knew how bad it was, they just didn't want to believe it. And for the people in the towers, they wanted to be out of there, and in a safe place where they knew everything was okay and nothing could ruin the day.
