40 Thoughts You Have At The Gym

Some love it, most hate it...the gym. I don't know if it is just me, but each and every time I go to the gym it is a huge event and many many thoughts go through my head..and these right here are those thoughts.

1. (On my way to the gym.) I'm gonna be so fit, this is the start to my new life, a journey to fitness, I will be a world-class trainer one day. This is it. Here we go.

2. (Arriving at the gym.) What am I doing? Why would I do this? I should leave.

3. I am already here, might as well just do this and get it over with.

4. I forgot my headphones, I should leave.

5. I hate this shirt, why am I wearing this stupid shirt?

6. Everyone is looking at me...

7. Why is everyone looking at me?

8. No one is looking at me, right?

9. RIGHT?

10. I forgot a water bottle, I should just go home.

11. Which treadmill looks best, I can't pick one right next to someone, that is just rude.

12. That guy looks too intense, I can't work out next to him.

13. Well there are no open treadmills, I have to go home, darn.

14. Oh crap that one just opened up now, I have to get on.

15. Okay okay, this is good, this is fun, I am so fit, no one can see me, it's fine.

16. I will just start at 3.5mph, that's not too fast

17. Oh no the girl next to me is going 6mph, what?! Okay I can do that, that's not too fast.

18. TOO FAST, TOO FAST, NOT 6!

19. No one saw that, I think.

20. Oh my God those guys totally saw that, they are totally laughing at me.

21. I should just leave.

22. Okay I'm going faster than that guy, I'm fine

23. I wonder what's for dinner.

24. How has it only been five minutes, this treadmill has to be broken

25. Oh, he's cute.

26. Do I really have to wipe this down? Nah, no one will notice.

27. Crap, that girl noticed.

28. Oh! Stair-stepper, I should try that.

29. How does this work? [Look around in a non-obvious, I-clearly-work-out way.]

30. Too hard, way too hard. But I can't get off, I just got on, people will judge me.

31. Stop judging me, no one's judging me, are they, ARE THEY?

32. Oh my gosh that girl is so skinny, how do you even look like that? Do I look like that? I can't possibly look like that.

33. But I will be that fit, I'm gonna come here every day from now on

34. Ha...ha...no I'm not.

35. Should I go lift weights? People do that here, right?

36. How does this thing work?

37. What is this?

38. Ow ow ow, this hurts, I can't do this.

39. All right it's been 20 minutes, that's good enough.

40. I am so fit.

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.
