Aerobic Class Stream of Consciousness

Proud Zumba Addict and Thriving Cardio Queen

*Stares into distance reminiscing* Ah, I remember my first Zumba class: A group of elderly women dressed in neon leg warmers and gossiping about Justin and Selena's tragic breakup. *Snaps out of daydream*


As a lover of vintage fashion and Jelena, I knew this was a sign that Zumba and I were a match made in heaven. So, I started to attend the classes on a more regular basis; not only did the 70's accessory color palette expand (hot pink, violet, lime green), but the chit-chat evolved into much more serious topics like "Who is Young Thug?" and the Kardashian lifestyle. However, these small talks only lasted until the music blasted. That's when things got fun. Sure, most of the time it's a challenge to tell my left foot from my right hand. And sure, I definitely can't shimmy or shake. But, I'm never afraid to bust a move and break a sweat. I just tend to get a little distracted sometimes by my crazy, chaotic, stream of consciousness.

  1. Is this almost over?
  2. Should I look at the clock or will that insult the instructor?
  3. Wow I wonder what I should eat for dinner.
  4. Did I have any homework?
  5. Ugh I want to check my phone.
  6. I hate this song.
  7. Is it time for a water break?
  8. Okay I'm going to check the clock now.
  9. What day is it again?
  10. Monday right? Wait yesterday was Monday.
  11. Ew do I look fat in this outfit?
  12. What's the point of working out?
  13. UGH my calves burn.
  14. I want to go home.
  15. Like NOW!
  16. Oooo I want to finish that new show on Netflix.
  17. Wow I think I watch too much Netflix.
  18. I wish that Rori and Logan ended up together.
  19. Gilmore Girls A Year In The Life Season 2!! Yeah boi
  20. Why did McDreamy have to die?
  21. Snap out of it.
  22. Omg did I feed the cat?
  23. Aww my poor baby I don't want her hungry.
  24. Wait did I answer that text?
  25. Ugh is my phone lighting up?
  26. Maybe it's just a glare.
  27. How much longer of this torture?
  28. This better make my legs look good.
  29. Beach body 2k19
  30. Should I check the clock again?
  31. I feel like this lady next to me is too close.
  32. She is way too close. Back it up grandma.
  33. This shirt is itchy.
  34. My feet hurt.
  35. Thank God this is over.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
