After a long J-Term, we were all itching to get back Oxford. However, there was one place that I wasn't itching to get back to: the Rec. With everyone trying to lose their winter weight and sculpt their summer bod, the struggle of simply getting to gym, let alone actually working out, is all too real.

Here are the 10 stages of going to the Rec, as told by "Parks and Recreation":

1. When you have to give yourself one hell of a pep talk before you actually get up to go.

Remember: You got this.

2. When you walk in and you realize all the treadmills are taken.

So you have to awkwardly stand there, checking your phone, pretending to not be annoyed.

3. You start to second guess if you should even be there and begin to consider all the better options in your life.

Sleeping, eating and not sweating.

4. But then you see someone you know and realize you can't back out now.

At least you wore Lulu this time.

5. You decide to attempt to run more than just one mile, and promptly realize that it is torture.

Your heavy breathing matches that of a 90-year-old grandma who finally made it up the stairs.

6. But you know you have to convince yourself to stay strong and power through.

Don't give that total stranger running next to you the satisfaction. You can beat them.

7. On your way out you think about doing some abs, and quickly laugh at yourself for even considering it.

There's no way you're getting past 25 sit-ups anyway.

8. When you finally you get home and your roommate asks you how your workout was.

Just smile through the pain, maybe they won't notice.

9. So you then dive head first into the fridge because hey, you did just exercise right?

Because working out for 30 minutes definitely gives you the right to eat 1,000+ calories.

10. When you finally lay down to go bed and realize you shouldn't try to exercise ever again.

Let's not even mention how sore you're going to be tomorrow.
