I weigh, wait for it, wait for it ..... 114 pounds. I have tried everyting to gain muscle except become that obsessive steroid taking, 24/7, muscle building, gym going douche. I want to gain proper weight as compared to my height and age.
So I began a regimen of regular gyming Mon - Wed - Fri which will be heavily affected when I resum,e school, I run in the morning which is fantastic because I now have all this energy, I do mindless cardio all day seeing as my job needs me to walk around helping people. I have not yet cut down on eating fast foods because I'm lazy. Will change that..... and also, I neither drink nor smoke.
My vices are, fast foods, no eating, eating 1 or 2 huge meals instead of like 3 or 4 a day, and up until two weeks before I began doing what I do, no exercise.
Stats::
21/male - 114lbs 5' 7"

The gym is good, but you have to eat to get big. Lots of quality food, not a lot of junk food or all you'll get is fat. You'll need to drink a couple of protein shakes a day in all probability to get the protein and calories you need.
You can bench and squat and do rows all you want, but if you don't take in the calories, you won't increase in size much at all, although you may become stronger.
As for cardio - wouldn't tell anyone not to do it, because it is part of a healthy lifestyle and I run 4 times a week myself, but you might want to ease off for a little while until you start to make some quality muscle gains.
