Whether your first or 51st CrossFit class, it brings with it a wave of emotions from beginning to end (even though classes are only one hour). From tears to triumph, Mindy Kaling captures it all. She would be an amazing workout partner, probably because she'd ease your guilt over bear claws you two skipped the gym to get.

1. Making the decision to do it

You've told yourself you would for a while, and you're actually following through with it.

2. Telling your friends about it in hopes of support, but they just doubt/laugh at you

They're just jealous.

3. Arriving to your first class

A little nervous, a little scared, a little excited.

4. Trying to hide that you're already out of breath from the warm-up

I wasn't slouched on my couch consuming twice my daily calories 40 minutes ago...

5. Not knowing what to do

Everything about foundations class... out the window.

6. The first 10 - 15 minutes

Okay, I just need to do that 6 more times.

7. When your puny muscles are going to tear and the coach says "Is everyone done warming up?"

Those were practice reps? Oh....okay... no, really, I'm fine

8. Your burst of energy in the Workout of the Day

This isn't so bad!

9. And it's downfall, 5 minutes later..

Nevermind, this sucks.

10. "20 reps overhead squad, 20 reps shoulder press..."

And.....there's....more...

Stop talking stop talking stop talking

11. Finally getting done with the last exercise

You did it!

12. Convincing yourself to go to the next class

I guess that didn't suck too bad...

AI music threatens creativity

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.
