14 Thoughts You Have At The Gym

Everyone has that love/hate relationship with the gym. We love the satisfaction we get from working hard in the gym, but the pain and work... not so much. Let's be real, going to the gym takes a lot of courage. Here are fourteen thoughts that everyone has while at the gym, whether they want to admit it or not.

1. "Why are there so many people here?"

I knew that I should have come earlier. This will be a stressful workout.

2. Those high expectations for yourself.

"I'm totally going to workout for a full hour today. I got this."

*Five minutes into your workout

"Ok, maybe just 45 minutes. That's ok. It's all good."

3. "I'm just going to lay here for a bit before I do my plank."

4. When your favorite song comes on.

"YES! I love this song! Ok, I'm pumped, it's time to step it up!"

5. "Is this even working? It sure as hell better be."

I better not be doing all of this hard work for nothing or we are going to have a problem.

6. "Why does this person keep looking at me? STOP!"

I am here to get in shape, just like you. Let me do my thing and I will let you do yours.

7. Everything is a competition.

"I can't let this person next to me on the treadmill run a farther distance. I have to win."

8. "I swear that guy is ALWAYS here."

I swear he lives here.

9. "Can you please stop grunting, it's not THAT hard."

Nobody wants to hear it.

10. "Out of ALL of the treadmills in this place why did you have to choose the one right next to me? Go away."

WHY?!?!?!

11. "How does that girl look like that? Why is she even working out?"

I'm literally working out to look like that.

12. "Did I put deodorant on? Man, I smell..."

This is embarrassing. I bet everyone smells me.

13. "I should really go in the weight room... but maybe not because they can smell fear...nope, not going."

Plus the cute boys are always in there.

14. "Wow, I feel so refreshed. I can't wait to come back, and do it all again tomorrow."

yeah... totally

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.
