5 Thoughts You Have at the Gym

The gym: a place some people go to better themselves, get in shape, and live healthier lives. For others, not so much.

1. God I am gonna be so hot.

You walk into the gym, cutest workout clothes on, and unnecessarily large water bottle in hand. You don't know what to expect, but you are ready to conquer the world. You are so pumped to reveal your new body, you just have to actually get it first. Forget paying for your own drinks, with an a** like yours people will be paying just for your company.

2. Why don't I look like that?

God how do they make it look so easy? Do her shorts really have to be that short? How is she just glistening like that, meanwhile I am soaked five minutes in. Crap, this embarrassing. Who does she even think she is? Am I the only one in this room that doesn't look like something out of a fitness magazine. Why am I here?

That guy over there, how is he that big? I didn't think that was possible. He's got to be taking steroids. I bet he eats everything, meanwhile I look at pizza and gain ten pounds. Ugh, life is hard.

3. I'm confused.

How do you even use this thing? Where's the start button? I wonder if people can tell how confused I am right now. Crap, this is so embarrassing. Just act casual. Look around, pretend like your stretching or something. Agh yes! Start button!

What even is this machine? How are you supposed to make your body move like that? How do I even know how much weight to put on? Maybe I should ask someone -- no, that's lame. Everyone is staring. I'll just go with it.

4. I think I am dying.

I can't feel anything. What if I died right here on the spot? Like, why does anyone subject themselves to this torture. Oh my god. Help me, someone. Is this what dying feels like? I didn't even know I was capable of sweating this much. I think I might pass out. I sound like an emphysema patient with all this wheezing. This is terrible. I hate everything.

5. I give up.

The hell with it. I'm over it. Pizza is way better than this. Who needs to have a hot bod anyway? Self-love and all that, am I right? Peace suckers, I am going to be out living my life.

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.
