20 Honest Thoughts Girls Have At The Gym

greatist.com

Every girl that has ever gone to the gym has had these thoughts at least once or twice. From the guy who grunts to the guy who asks if you need help—I promise you, we do not need your help. No matter the workout, these thoughts rule your mind while you're ruling the gains.

1. Am I doing arms or legs today?

You never quite know what day it is because they all blur together.

2. How do I use this machine?

Because why ask when you can just mess it up yourself.

3. I'm going to ask that hot guy over there.

But then you realize that it is way more complicated to do, so you decide to ask that normal looking guy on the other side of the gym.

4. He's wearing Sperry's...never mind.

You should never trust a guy wearing Sperry's at the gym.

5. I am sweating enough to fill the entire Atlantic Ocean right now.

No amount of antiperspirant could help the gym from not flooding right now.

6. Maybe I should grunt like that guy over there.

Which was a bad idea because you just sounded like a squealing pig.

7. Let's add some more weight to this rep.

Which leads to immediate regret.

8. Oh no, that crack did not sound right.

Your back should never make that noise.

9. That cute guy is coming around the corner, squat low in 3...2...1.

Because guys love when you can squat low, right?

10. No, I do not need help carrying this 10 pound barbell.

I promise you I can carry this all by myself.

11. Please stop making eye contact with me when my legs are spread.

Do you not think this makes me uncomfortable? Because it does.

12. Actually just don't look at me at all.

I will stare back.

13. Okay, I was totally using that machine, but go ahead and take it.

I just left my water bottle there for you.

14. I'm just going to walk around until you're done with my machine.

Because that was the last thing I had to do and now I feel uncomfortable.

15. What's that smell?

I will pass out if I get another whiff of that.

16. It's totally me.

I am currently praying for everyone in this building, so sorry.

17. This song always gets me so pumped.

Basically anything by Beyonce can make a workout so much easier.

18. I am so tired, can I go home yet?

But it's probably only been 15 minutes.

19. I need someone to carry me to my house please.

Send your strongest bodybuilder because I need help.

20. I miss the gym already.

Because no matter how hard the workout was, you know you'll be back at it tomorrow.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
