20 Thoughts You Have During Spin Class

Sure, your legs might feel like falling off and you're pretty sure you blacked out, but it's that moment of strength that keeps you going back.

20 Thoughts You Have During Spin Class
Elise Bialylew

It's been a while since I've taken a cycling class. Mostly because the feeling of jell-o replacing legs was far too much for me to handle during my hectic college schedule. However, since it's the new year (and all that), I thought I'd make a habit of a weekly spin class...and then I went. Here are some common thoughts you may have at your first class back:

1. This is easy, it's just like riding a bike.

2. Why is the 60-year-old man going faster than I am?

3. THIS MUSIC GIVES ME LIFE!

4. Am I crying or am I sweating? Is it both?

5. Oh my God, I can't lift my feet off of the pedal.

6. I swear, I'm about to fall off the bike.

7. Ugh, this music makes me feel a lot better than I actually am.

8. "Ride to the beat." Can the beat be silent for just a second?

9. These are actual tears. I can't feel my legs.

10. WHY are we liftings weights while cycling?

11. The instructor is staring at me...why are you staring? Stop staring, don't you know a struggling person when you see one?

12. Technically, I'm doing pretty well. I haven't died yet, so that's good.

13. I'm never eating after this class.

14. Actually, maybe just a smoothie...or a burger.

15. It's only been 20 minutes?!

16. Girlie, why are you taking a selfie?! I promise, Snapchat doesn't want to see you sweating like a pig.


17. Hahaha I'm dead.

18. "Today be unstoppable, be invincible" YESSSS NEW LIFE MOTTO

19. It's already over?

20. Best hour I've ever spent, see you all tomorrow!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
