We all have to go and we all have these thoughts.

Thoughts Everyone Has At The Gym

Going to the gym–it’s something we all should do whether we like it or not. The gym has been added to our list of chores just like cleaning or mowing the lawn. Some days at the gym are good, while others are just plain awful. We’ve all had these thoughts at the gym whether we want to admit it or not.

1. How does this even work?

Some machines look more like torture devices rather than exercise equipment. This usually leads to many awkward attempts at using them while other gym-goers watch in horror.

2. This person spends way too much time here.

We’ve all encountered this gym-goer. These people have crossed over from toned to insane. They are often spotted hogging the weights and downing a protein shake.

3. At least my outfit is on point.

There’s nothing better than the feeling when you entire outfit is flawless. Sure, you probably spent more time picking it out than you will spend at the gym, but, hey, at least you look good.

4. Why is everyone here now?

You thought you planned it out perfectly for the gym to be vacant, but alas, everyone else apparently had the same idea, and you’re stuck in a hot, packed gym yet again.

5. Finally no one is here!

An empty gym is like winning the lottery: It almost never happens, but when it does, it’s amazing. You don’t have to wait for anything and there’s no one to watch you mess up.

6. Why does no one wipe off their machine?

We’ve all had it happen to us. You’re already using the machine before you realize it’s drenched in someone else’s sweat.

7. Is that what I really look like?

Most gyms contain at least one wall of unflattering mirrors. For some it might be motivation, for others it’s just a reminder of why you’re at the gym in the first place.

8. Will they ever get off this machine?

There's always that one person who hogs whatever machine they're on at the moment. They're often found spending an hour on the treadmill or doing endless reps with the weights.

9. Wow! I’m actually seeing results!

Whether these results are real or imaginary they’ll probably keep you coming back to the gym.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
