I feel like I'm Steve Irwin navigating the jungle of the gym.

12 People You'll See At The Gym

Since the beginning of college, my gym-going has become pretty regular, and I feel more and more like Steve Irwin each time that I try to navigate the jungle of the gym. So today I’m going to walk you through a guide that will you each type of person you’ll see at any gym. So let's start our journey, mates, to the unbelievable habitat of 12 unique people you'll find at the gym.

1. The Guy who Skips Leg Day

This specimen is a true sight. They're fragile creatures, known for their chicken legs that will just snap if you got too close to them. They're known to shy away from squat racks and leg machines, but if you want to see one, you can always find them working on their astounding biceps or chest.

2. The “I work out” Social Media Posters (The “Selfie”)

Next we see the wily selfie takers. These are the people are most commonly found standing in front of the mirrors the whole time. Crikey, they're amazing to watch in their natural habitat! There are even times when you'll see these social media junkies lift a weight or two, but that's especially rare!

3. The Men who Can Lift a House

Now, you get to see a real treat to see this creature in the wild! These men can be extremely dangerous and are known to be able to squat at least three times their weight! Absolutely amazing to behold.

4. The One who has No Idea What They’re Doing

This creature is extremely dangerous and can hurt anyone within a 10 foot radius if you're not careful. As you can see, these people cause chaos and are easily confused. I'm gonna poke him with a stick.

5. The Screamer

Holy smokes, do I have a fantastic surprise for you! We have the screamer going through his mating call. This call can be heard throughout the entire gym, and although it's not appealing to the ear, it's great to behold.

6. The Gym Princess

Wow! What a beaut! This girl always looks pristine, but they are dangerous for any possible mate to approach. She seeks refuge on the stair climber or doing body weight routines.

7. The “Expert”

This person can disguise himself to his prey, appearing like someone who can help them with their workout, but they're ambush predators. They'll snatch up their unsuspecting prey with their ready information, but they give bad advice and can be easily spotted by anyone with experience.

8. The Weight Hog

This guy is very interesting! He's known for stealing the weights from others and hoarding them in his nest. Don't even think about trying to take them! He's "using them all."

9. The Old People

Ah! Look at these ancient creatures. Holy smokes, it's incredible that they're still at it! This is quite possibly the future of everyone in this gym.

10. “That Couple”

These people are easily recognizable. Crikey, aren't they annoying?

11. That Girl

This female is extremely rare. They're seen to lift just as much as any man around her, if not more! She is unbelievable. Watching her in her natural habitat is amazing to behold.

12. The Group Workers

These gym bees travel in a herd, and it's extremely important that you hold your ground around them. Usually only one or two are lifting while the others form a protective barrier around them. They get really, really aggressive if you try to get them to move.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
