40 Thoughts Everyone Has While On The Treadmill
  1. Okay this is a warm up. I’ll start off slow.
  2. Like speed 1.0 slow. That’s slow enough.
  3. Okay I’m not even moving my feet… this is too slow.
  4. I’ll speed it up to 2.0. That’s a good warm up speed.
  5. Why is the kid next to me looking at me?
  6. He should stop looking at me. Staring is rude.
  7. Does he really have to stomp that loud?!
  8. I’ll just turn my music up. That way I won’t hear him.
  9. Wait now I can’t hear myself. Am I stomping that loud? 
  10. That’s enough warming up, let’s speed this up a little.
  11. 5.0 speed... is that a fast enough run?
  12. Should I try 6.0? I’ll try 6.0.
  13. TOO FAST. BAD IDEA.
  14. Okay I’m good. I’m good. 5.5, that’s a good enough jog.
  15. I’m exhausted already. I should not have started off fast.
  16. This kid is still looking at me. Am I breathing too loud?
  17. I probably am. How fast is he going?
  18. 6.5?! How is he keeping that pace?
  19. OMG almost just fell off. I need to pay attention. 
  20. I wonder if anyone can hear my music…
  21. Because I’m blasting One Direction and that would be embarrassing.
  22. I shouldn't be embarrassed. Harry Styles is hot.
  23. I wish this kid next to me was Harry Styles right now.
  24. No way. Too sweaty to be near Harry right now.
  25. Okay, I need to focus.
  26. I think I’ve been running forever.
  27. I might be dying. I think I’m almost dead.
  28. Maybe not dead but I’m definitely going to puke.
  29. I’ll drink some water.
  30. Like a lot of water.
  31. Water should help.
  32. THIS IS NOT HELPING. 
  33. Seriously, have I been sprinting for an hour yet???
  34. SEVEN MINUTES?!
  35. That has to be wrong. I’ve been on here for longer than seven minutes.
  36. Wow, treadmill minutes are longer than microwave minutes.
  37. Speaking of microwave… I could go for some food right now.
  38. Pizza. I need pizza.
  39. I’ve been running for eight minutes now. I deserve pizza.
  40. Pizza it is. I’ll run longer tomorrow.

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.

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.

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.
