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!

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.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
