20 Thoughts You Have During Spin Class

Sure, your legs might feel like falling off and you're pretty sure you blacked out, but it's that moment of strength that keeps you going back.

20 Thoughts You Have During Spin Class
Elise Bialylew

It's been a while since I've taken a cycling class. Mostly because the feeling of jell-o replacing legs was far too much for me to handle during my hectic college schedule. However, since it's the new year (and all that), I thought I'd make a habit of a weekly spin class...and then I went. Here are some common thoughts you may have at your first class back:

1. This is easy, it's just like riding a bike.

2. Why is the 60-year-old man going faster than I am?

3. THIS MUSIC GIVES ME LIFE!

4. Am I crying or am I sweating? Is it both?

5. Oh my God, I can't lift my feet off of the pedal.

6. I swear, I'm about to fall off the bike.

7. Ugh, this music makes me feel a lot better than I actually am.

8. "Ride to the beat." Can the beat be silent for just a second?

9. These are actual tears. I can't feel my legs.

10. WHY are we liftings weights while cycling?

11. The instructor is staring at me...why are you staring? Stop staring, don't you know a struggling person when you see one?

12. Technically, I'm doing pretty well. I haven't died yet, so that's good.

13. I'm never eating after this class.

14. Actually, maybe just a smoothie...or a burger.

15. It's only been 20 minutes?!

16. Girlie, why are you taking a selfie?! I promise, Snapchat doesn't want to see you sweating like a pig.


17. Hahaha I'm dead.

18. "Today be unstoppable, be invincible" YESSSS NEW LIFE MOTTO

19. It's already over?

20. Best hour I've ever spent, see you all tomorrow!

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.
