20 Thoughts We Have Before Going To The Gym
MY MIND WANTS TO GO TO THE GYM, MY BODY DOES NOT

So I don't know about everyone else in the world, but I am not the gym's No. 1 fan. It's probably not even on my list of the top 100 things I like to do. My thoughts before I drag myself to the gym are:

1. How long has it been? One week? Two weeks? A month? Oh my goodness, I can’t even remember what the gym looks like! Where is the gym again? Is it the building near the dining hall or is it the building near the science department? Is it blue or gray?

2. Where are my sneakers?

3. Do I even remember what drawer my workout clothes are in?

4. Do I even have workout clothes still?

5. Did I think I was done with the gym for the rest of my life? Did I throw them all away?

6. Oh, just kidding, found them in the bottom dresser drawer.

7. Yippee...

8. Do I really have to go?

9. What did the doctor recommend again?

10. Was it three times a week or four times a month?

11. I'm pretty sure she said month. Like, what insane person goes four times a week?

12. Oh no, my parents are calling. Mom is definitely going to ask if I have gone recently. I should just not answer and call her after so I don't have to lie, like usual.

13. Where did I put my sports bras?

14. Are they in with my regular bras?

15. No, they wouldn't be. I don't want to be reminded of going to the gym every single day. Are they with my sports clothes? Oh, yes, they are in the back of the drawer. Wow, aren’t I just the greatest hider ever!

16. How long do I have to go to the gym for?

17. Is walking around the track once too short? Or is it too long? If I go at turtle pace can I leave right after one lap?

18. Oh my goodness, Abigail, get your sh*t together and go the gym!

19. Where are my sneakers?

20. Not with my other shoes... Maybe in my closet? Nope. Not there. Oh! Found them! Under my bed! Of course... Where all the dust is...

21. Well, since getting ready for the gym took 45 minutes, I guess I only have to go to the gym for 15 minutes! To take one lap around the track I go!

I think it is good for everyone to get to the gym every once in a while, even if it does take longer to get ready than the amount of time you are there for!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
