11 Thoughts Everyone Has After Finally Working Out Again
Gym Ventures

If you're anything like me, you've been feeling guilty for ages about falling off of your workout schedule. For a while you had it down to a science, keeping your routine on point, but then for one reason or another, either a busy schedule, a lazy summer break, or something else all together, you stopped going. You kept telling yourself you'd go next week. Now the time is finally here, and you're going back to the gym for the first time in months. I'm in the same boat, so I know exactly what you're thinking.

1. Is this the real life?

You can't believe it's really happening. You're a little bit nervous. You have your headphones and your playlist. You might even have the squad. It's for real.

2. I'm straight up about to kill this workout.

I'm going to throw. It. On. The. Ground.

3. My body is ready.

You've done all your stretches and a light warm up. You've never felt so alive. This is your moment. Nothing is going to stop you.

4. Why did I stop in the first place?

It's a breeze. You could do this all day.

5. I TAKE IT BACK.

I was terribly mistaken. This hurts. I have the stamina of a not-so-young person. Why did I think this was a good idea?

6. This is awful, yet strangely exhilarating.

Are you into pain? Who knows. But this hurts. And you're happy about it. And you don't quite get that.

7. Have I earned a water break yet?

You're taking a break because you need to stay hydrated. It's totally not because your muscles are screaming for mercy.

8. How sexy do I look right now?

You're at the gym right now. You're sweating. You're basically a fitness god. Someone has got to see this and be impressed.

9. If I work out hard enough, will my muscles look like clouds?

"They said I could be anything, so I became a cloud." --The Internet
Beautiful. Stunning. #goals

10. I am going to be so sore.


It's been so long. You're so out of shape.

11. I can't wait for next time.

A few more work outs and you'll be the next Sean T. Just wait.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
