20 Uncomfortably Hilarious Moments Everyone Has At The Gym During 'The New Year New Me' Phase
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLGDSBlsj-o

A gym is quite a strange place. Some people go there to strictly workout and get out of there as quickly as they can with as little interaction as possible. Others go to scope out the potential love interests and try to pick up an unexpected date for Friday night.

Regardless of what you're there for, everyone is sweating, wearing skin-tight clothing, and displaying their strength all while grunting and panting. It's bound to be a place of awkward energy and confused hormones.

1. That naked person who wants to tell you their life story in the locker room.

2. Being the person lifted instead of lifting

3. Checking out the insanely ripped person you're trying to become.

4. Wanting to be completely in sync during the Zumba class but failing miserably.

5. Laughing at (or being) that over-ambitious guy that can't handle the weight he picked.

6. The two obviously different types of people at the gym.

7. How you feel after being there for 90 seconds.

8. The nearly impossible task of looking away from the insanely good-looking person in short-shorts.

9. The look you see the two fittest people exchanging.

10. When your jam comes on in the gym and you MUST kick it into overdrive.

Giphy

11. The person who blatantly uses the equipment wrong but has zero fucks (it's probably you).

Giphy

12. Trying something new but missing the mark.

Giphy

13. DEODORANT.

Giphy

14. When you master a new workout form perfectly.

15. Spotting the token Pilates person in the corner doing this exercise.

Giphy

16. How it feels to walk into the gym with your bud.

17. Versus finishing up a workout at the gym with your bud.

Giphy

18. The real thoughts going through 99% of people's heads.

Giphy

19. Trying to be discreet about never working out a day in your life.

Giphy

20. Attempting to crush those abs but really they crush you.

Giphy

Between desperately wishing your elliptical neighbor would wear some deodorant or just feeling like a total loser with your 2lb weights, the gym is the perfect ground for awkward encounters.

You should be proud of yourself for putting on your brave shoes, banishing your tendency to stay in bed to binge watch the new season of Shameless, and actually making it to the gym to push it, even if you do look like a tool the entire time. Just kidding, you're doing great kid. Keep it up!

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
