Obviously we have to start getting our bods ready for summer, and it’s clearly too late for spring break since that’s gone and done with. The freshman 15 is a real thing, and beware because it can happen to any of us. I blame dining halls and pizza delivery men everywhere. Self-control on a late Tuesday night is practically non-existent. Yes, I confess to that one time when I had no money, and Imo’s pizza was still able to lure me in with the coupon they sent to my email. Subject line: “Madison, we miss you, here's a 50% off coupon.” How could I resist that? This is the real problem with America: pizza in college and no money. Surely there’s a connection between that and the rest of the world’s problems. Maybe not? Anyways ... back to the point. For about 33 percent of college students, working out is an everyday habit. For the rest of us (me), working out is kind of the worst. Actually it’s not the actual working-out part that’s hard, but the whole making-myself-go-work-out part that’s the real struggle. So here are a few of the things I’m sure everyone will be able to relate to, because college.
Having to walk all the way to the gym.
Trying to look cute at the gym.
Thinking you look decent and then seeing someone literally walking on the treadmill in full makeup and a skirt (why?).
Thinking about eating healthy.
Dreaming you woke up and are actually working out at the gym, but really you’re still asleep because you "accidentally" hit snooze on you alarm (oops).
Having to wake up early to work out ... ew.
Being smelly in class and wondering if people can smell you …
Thinking about being sore after working out.
Actually working out and feeling awesome afterwards.
Eating ice cream because you worked out so it’s OK.
Having to read the directions on the side of the equipment because you never go to the gym.
Trying to act like you’re not reading the directions.
The faces you make when you lift something really heavy.
Checking yourself out in the mirror, thinking, “Man, I look good.”
Leaving the gym and feeling really cool because you just posted a cute Snapchat story of you working out so everyone knows how in shape you are.
