18 Thoughts We Have At The Gym
spoonuniversity.com

I have a love/hate relationship with working out. I love the way I look and feel after a good workout but I hate going to the gym. All my friends can attest that I’m apart of #couchsquad and whenever I come back from the gym it’s met with a chorus of “Wait, you didn’t really go to the gym, did you?” Even though I love the results of the gym, I can never bring myself to make time and go. As I start my new health journey to hopefully one day become #fitnessgoals, I’ve been actively going to the gym and trying to eat healthier. Here are some thoughts that run through my (and probably yours too, tbh) head as I work out:

1. OK, we’re doing this. Here we go.

2. Why does everyone here look so ripped?

3. Am I that weak?

4. I do look like a string bean come to think of it…

5. The only stairs machine that’s open is between two people who look like they know what they’re doing please kill me now.

6. *10 minutes into the stairs machine* if I step off this my legs will turn to jelly and I will fall down and die.

7. Stairs are a no go. Let’s try this weird arm thing.

8. Wow, this isn’t bad at all.

9. Ripped guy lifting weights is laughing.

10. I now realize that is because I didn’t set this thing to any weights.

11. I am a gym failure.

12. To the track it is.

13. HOW DO PEOPLE RUN SO FAR FOR SO LONG?

14. DO YOU HAVE LUNGS OF STEEL?

15. Maybe the fitness life isn’t for me.

16. If I get through one more lap I’m gonna #treatyoself to some pizza.

17. Welp, that marks my fitness for the week.

18. Time for food.

Don’t get me wrong; the gym is a great place. There are so many options for people in various stages of their fitness journeys, and the gym is just a great place to relax and get your mind off the stress that is school. Staying active and staying fit is an important part of anyone’s life, and college is so great because it offers so many different opportunities to stay in shape (even though the dining hall food can sneak up on you). With a free gym membership to your university's gym that includes different fitness classes, you can’t go wrong.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
