50 Thoughts You Have At The Gym

Going to the gym isn't always easy. but when I finally do go, my thoughts usually fall along the same line.

From worrying about what my hair looks like to pondering my favorite T.V. show, my mind is racing from here to there. More specifically, these are the 50 typical things that come to mind when I finally go to the gym:

1. I haven’t gone to the gym in awhile….I should probably go today

2. But “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” is on E!. I’ll just watch one episode.

3. Ugh, Kim looks so good in a bikini and she’s a mom and 35...I have no excuse.  

4. Where are my sneakers? Oh, back of the closet. Wow, it’s really been a long time.  

5. Why is every parking spot taken? Why do people WANT to go to the gym? 

6. Yes, I made it through the front door. Baby steps.  

7. Oh, I forgot my ID card. 

8. I think the receptionist is judging how long it’s been since I was here last. WELL I AM HERE NOW, LADY!

9. Time to go hard, oh yea! 

10. Elliptical or treadmill?  

11. I can’t run, so elliptical it is.  

12. My Workout Playlist hasn’t been listened to in awhile. 

13. “Not Afraid” would be the first song on shuffle. Such motivation!  

14. If I increase the resistance, I burn more calories, right?  

15. Okay, resistance on 15.  

16. *Three minutes later* God, this is awful. Lowering resistance to 10.  

17. This is doable. I can probably go for 45 minutes.  

18.  Yay, my elliptical has a TV. I can watch Kim and have her be my thinspiration.  

19.  Oh God, did I put on deodorant?! Shoot, I’m sweating so much! Of course I am wearing a grey tank top so you see all my sweat.  

20. Of course this girl is here. She always goes so hard.  

21. She would choose the elliptical next to mine.

22. OMG she put the resistance up to 20?! She’s crazy.  

23. There is no way I’ve only been on this thing for 20 minutes. I feel like I’ve been on this forever. 

24. Twenty five minutes is more than halfway to 45. I can get off now.  

25. I’m glistening right now. Oh geez, my face is so red.  

26. That was some good cardio. I feel my heart really going. 

27. If I’m here, I might as well do some weights and tone my arms.  

28. Why are only boys in the weight room all the time? I can’t be the only girl in the room. 

29. Oh God, this is so awkward. I feel like I’m being stared at. Just keep walking to the free weights.  

30. Where are the light weights? Why do they start at 10 pounds each?  

31. Oh, they put the small weights on the bottom. Let’s start with 5 pound weights.  

32. How many reps should I do? Ten seems good. Three sets of ten.  

33. Are my biceps bigger yet? I feel stronger. Am I stronger? Let me try the ten pound weights.  

34. Nope, absolutely not that strong yet. 

35. Why is the room covered in mirrors?  

36. Oh, because each guy here is checking out their muscles while they lift?  

37. Is he seriously Snapchatting him straight flexing right now? No, bro.  

38. Bench pressing is so intimidating. One day I’ll be able to do it. Maybe. 

39. Squat time.  

40. MY LEGS ARE ABOUT TO GIVE OUT! 

41. My thighs hurt so much. This is not worth getting that bubble butt for. No way Kim Kardashian does this every day. 

42. I need water. 

43. Wait, that guy is so cute. I have to walk past him.  

44. I hope he was impressed with my workout, or my attempt of one.  

45. Water has never tasted so good.  

46. I feel so great and energized right now! Why don’t I go to the gym more?  

47. Do I have a six pack yet?  

48. Nope. Darn. 

49. Yea, receptionist, I worked out. Can’t you tell?  

50. Where is the closest Taco Bell to here?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
