Applications For a Workout Buddy

I'll be heading back to school in another month or so, and I think it's time for a workout buddy. Now normally, I like to workout alone without distraction and be done. But so many people ask to come with me so I figure why not give it a try? I'm at a point in my life where I wanna be around my friends and people that support me. Also, I need to step my weight lifting game up, even though I highly despise it. Having someone there to keep me pumped and going will put some extra pep in my step. Also, a little friendly competition is healthy. It's fun trying to do a few extra reps than your friend. So yeah, I'm looking for a workout buddy and I'm narrowing down my choices, we shall see.
