YAY!! You survived the first semester of college but that doesn't mean the torture ends there. You now find yourself sitting at the dinner table with your closest relatives on Christmas as they ask you about your lifestyle in the nicest way possible. But of course their incessant, interrogating tone doesn't stop you from helping yourself to a third serving of that amazing pie your grandparents made. I mean, what are New Year's Resolutions for anyway? You can hit the gym when you get back to school.

Whether you experienced the gym before you returned home or you realized you were in need of a slight lifestyle change while you were there, this is basically how it feels when you hit the gym for the first time.

1. When you’re all motivated and go to the gym

2. But then you remember it's 7am and class doesn't start until 10:50 anyway.

3. When you reach for the ice cream after class and then remember you didn’t workout

4. It’s ok, though, you can burn the calories tomorrow morning?

5. But then your roommate goes to the gym and you realize you probably should too

6. You can feel everyone's eyes boring into you as you timidly search for a cardio machine that isn't occupied

7. And then you spot someone getting off the elliptical 50 meters away

8. But then you get 5 minutes in and question every decision ever, especially after the ice cream you just had

9. But you know it would look bad if you quit after 5 minutes

10. You finally gain the confidence to look around the gym to see who else is suffering with you

11. When you just grabbed something random from your laundry basket you (hopefully) only wore once before and everyone else has on Lululemon leggings

12. AND THEY DON’T APPEAR TO BE OVERHEATING

13. When you're feelin' your playlist and Spotify hits you with the next 30 min are ad free if you click the ad BUT YOU'RE TOO SWEATY TO CLICK THE AD

14. When you think you look graceful but in reality you look like you’ll die any second

15. But here’s to you, for making it through a daunting hour to the gym. Now go treat yourself to a second helping of ice cream as you binge watch Netflix to avoid all your other responsibilities.
