31 Thoughts About Going to the Gym From People Who Hate to Work Out

Working out: you either love it or you hate it. But either way, you probably still do it (sometimes). Don't get me wrong, I know you can get these so called "endorphins" when you get a good exercise going on, but I personally don't think that they exist because when I work out, all I get is extremely sweaty/ feel like I'm dying.

Once you go to college, life doesn't get any better for people who hate working out. In college, you are forced to go to the gym every once in a while to avoid the freshman 15. And it doesn't help that the gym is small and stuffy and packed with people your age who actually know what they are doing.

So when it comes to exercise, the gym is my least favorite place to be because I have no idea what I am doing.

Here are the thoughts of someone who strongly dislikes working out at a gym:

1. Why am I here?

2. Look at that girl, she's been on the treadmill for like 30 minutes.

3. How long has it been since I've been on this elliptical?

4. Only five minutes?

6. OK how about now?

7. ONLY SIX MINUTES?

8. I can't feel my legs.

9. HAS IT REALLY ONLY BEEN SEVEN MINUTES?

10. I think I'm having a heart attack.

11. Why am I the only one sweating here?

12. OK, time do so something other than cardio.

13. Uh... what's that machine?

14. Everyone using these machines looks so glamorous.

15. And really fit.

16. Oh that's probably because they use the machines.

17. Maybe I can go in the ab room.

18. But it's pretty crowded and then people will see me.

19. Oh my god I'm so bored.

20. Oh look another fit person.

21. How can someone lift that much weight!?

22. THAT GIRL IS STILL RUNNING ON THE TREADMILL.

23. Wow I am kinda hungry.

24. Looks like I gotta go.

24. I'll just come back tomorrow and get a better work out in!

25. Then I'll be just like everyone here!

26. Oof looks like tomorrow won't actually won't work for me.

27. Or the next day...

28. I guess I'll just come back next week.

29. Because now all I can think about is pizza.

30. I totally deserve that pizza after my really difficult work out.

31. Pizza it is.

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.
