23 Burning Thoughts You Have While Getting Your Sweat On At The Gym

ThoroughlyReviewed

As per my very belated New Years resolution, I've finally started going to the gym. And I mean actually going to the gym.

And as someone who has never really been in shape at all in her whole life, the process has been very intimidating, anxiety-inducing, and scary. I wasn't prepared for how vulnerable I was going to feel. But I know that I'm not the only one feels this way! And so, neither are you!

So if you're anyone who's getting in shape, stepping out on their fitness journey or has even been in a gym before, I'm sure you can relate to these thoughts everyone has at the gym.

1. Everybody's looking at me.

Giphy

They're not! I promise!

Everyone at the gym is there to better themselves. I promise, nobody cares what you're doing!

2. I'm so out of shape.

Giphy

Yes! And that's okay! That's why you're at the gym.

Gyms aren't just for fit people.

3. How does this machine work?

Giphy

*Looks at picture* *Still has no idea*

Who knows, honestly.

4. I'm gonna die.

Giphy

I condemn you to hell, stair-stepper.

5. I wonder what I'm going to get to eat after this.

Giphy

Chipotle.

6. This looks easy.

Giphy

*Can only do two* Okay, this is definitely not easy.

7. Can you see my underwear through my leggings?

Giphy

Probably, but its okay.

8. Also, how bad are my panty lines?

Giphy

Probably horrible, don't think about it.

(but also, nobody cares!)

9. This music sucks.

Giphy

Hits 'skip' infinite number of times.

10. What if I fall off this machine?

Giphy

You'll die. But most importantly you'll embarrass yourself.

11. Her workout outfit is so cute.

Giphy

I need a cute workout outfit.

If I had a cute workout outfit, I'd come to the gym more.

(Except you won't).

12. Is this gym membership worth it?

Giphy

YES. I promise, it'll all be worth it in a couple of months.

13. I can't believe I woke up early for this.

Giphy

Me either.

14. I wonder if I can watch Netflix without falling off the elliptical.

Giphy

You know you're not that coordinated. Please don't.

15. What do I even do?

Giphy

What you can. You do what you can.

(You can also YouTube lots of workouts!)

16. I hope I'm not doing this wrong?

Giphy

It's okay if you are! Just be careful not to hurt yourself. If it hurts in a weird place or something feels off, STOP!

17. I'm so incredibly sweaty right now.

Giphy

You're glistening. You're a goddess. An absolute babe.

18. Summerbod. Summerbod. Summerbod.

Giphy

Keep at it. You got this!

19. Do I smell?

Giphy

No. Well maybe. It's okay if you do, I promise.

20. I should try yoga.

Giphy

Why not?

21. How many minutes left?

Giphy

Just. Keep. Pushing.

22. Why is it so hot in here?

Giphy

It's you. You're hot.

23. I need to drink more water.

Giphy

Yes, hun. You do. Your body is dying.

Just remember, you're doing this for yourself and for your own health. So what anybody else might think doesn't matter at all.

Just hang in there and keep killin' it!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
