Aerobic Class Stream of Consciousness

Proud Zumba Addict and Thriving Cardio Queen

11
*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.

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.
