Everyone knows the feeling of walking up a flight of stairs and immediately getting winded. It sucks, and yet we continue to torture ourselves by taking the stairs. I personally hate walking up the stairs and having to gasp for breath. But I consistently walk up the stairs. And every time I get up to my fourth-floor dorm room, I tell myself I will never do that again.

Well... I don't listen to that.

I think everyone who understands this feeling of pain, has thought at least one of the following thougths.

1. "Why did I take the stairs?"

2. "I do this every time, and I always regret it."

3. "I really need to start working out."

4. "Am I the only one that gets this winded?"

5. "I can't be, right?"

6. "My legs hurt."

7. "It's really hot in this stairwell."

8. "Oh, crap, someone's coming. I need to slow my breathing."

9. "That could have been embarrassing."

10. "How can people take the stairs two at a time and be fine?"

11. "Why am I gasping for breath?"

12. "Thank God I don't live on the fourth floor."

13. "I should take the elevator next time."

14. "Or every time."

15. "Am I really this out of shape?"

16. "I'm so tired."

17. "I should take a nap. I deserve it."

18. "I hope no one can hear how shaky my breathing is."

19. "Ah, who cares? They saw me walk out of the stairwell."

20. "They probably understand."

21. "…right?"

22. "How do people do this every day?"

23. "Everything hurts."

24. "Did I turn my essay in last night?"

25. "I don't think I'll ever be able to breathe normally again."

26. "This is the most intense workout I've done in months.

27. "Maybe if I listen to music next time, it'll be better."

28. "Probably not, but I can dream."

29. "Why are stairs a thing?"

30. "This is pure torture."

31. "I just have to push through."

32. "It'll be over soon."

33. "Why is my heart beating so fast?"

34. "It was only one flight."

35. "My heart rate cannot be that high."

36. "Can it?"

37. "Even over sixteen steps?"

38. "I really need to work out then."

39. "I gotta build up my resistance."

40. "Is it bad that I need a drink of water?"

41. "Yeah, probably."

42. "I really need to start drinking more water."

43. "Maybe that's why I'm so out of breath."

44. "I'm not properly hydrated."

45. "Or the fact that I have the body of a potato."

46. "There better be some Chipotle after this flight of stairs."

47. "Why am I so sweaty?"

48. "I didn't even move that much."

49. "I just need to distract my mind."

50. "Then it won't be as bad."

51. "I have so many shows I need to watch on Netflix."

52. "I should really try to read more books."

53. *thinks of a compilation of Vine references*

54. "I have so much homework."

55. "When is that exam?"

56. "How have I not reached the top of the stairs yet?"

57. "This is like climbing the tallest mountain range."

58. *gasps for breath*

59. "Did I eat lunch today?"

60. "Wait, what time even is it?"

61. *remembers the dog I saw this morning*

62. "Do I have any more classes today?"

63. "I can't wait to go to bed tonight."

64. "I should call my parents later today."

65. "When was the last time I talked to them?"

66. "Has it really been that long?"

67. "What am I doing this weekend?"

68. "I can't wait to not set an alarm for Saturday morning."

69. "What homework do I absolutely have to do this weekend?"

70. "Am I even going to have time for relaxing?"

71. "Probably not."

72. "Any time I'm relaxing, it's procrastination in disguise."

73. "I really need to read my textbooks."

74. "Why am I so bad at keeping up with them?"

75. "I should get Starbucks."

76. "I could use some caffeine."

77. "But then I'll be up even later than normal."

78. "Well, sleep is for the weak."

79. "I'll just take a nap tomorrow."

80. "I could use a nap now."

81. "Would anyone judge me if I just took a nap here?"

82. "I could use a five-hour energy right about now."

83. "My backpack is getting heavier with every step."

84. "My thighs are burning."

85. "Do I have my computer charger?"

86. "Where did I put my phone?"

87. "Oh, it was in my pocket."

88. "When will the snow stop falling?"

89. "I'm over winter."

90. "I just want it to be spring break."

91. "How is spring break only three weeks away?"

92. "It feels like the semester just started."

93. "These stairs are not getting any easier."

94. "I miss my pets."

95. "I need to go shopping."

96. "I could use some new socks."

97. "I should look on Amazon."

98. "But then I'll be scrolling for hours."

99. "Maybe I'll wait to go in person."

100. "It'll be easier then."

101. "I should eat a salad."

102. "But chicken nuggets are so good."

103. "This is why I get winded so easily."

104. "I need to eat better."

105. "Easier said than done, I guess."

106. "I'm in the home stretch."

107. "Just a few more steps."

108. "Why is this the most difficult part of this whole climb?"

109. "I feel like a marathon runner crossing the finishing line."

110. "I made it."

111. "It wasn't that bad I guess. I might be able to do it again tomorrow. Maybe."
