20 Thoughts Everyone Has At The Gym

Anyone who claims to love going to the gym is probably a psychopath, but hey, to each his own. I love the feeling I get after leaving the gym, but that's a totally different story. But for real, the gym is basically the most terrifying place in the world. There are men who look like they could break your neck by just looking at you, weird machines that look like torture contraptions and of course, the worst of all, the treadmills. But in the end, we all love to hate the gym, and we drag ourselves there almost daily. So here are 20 thoughts that everyone has at the gym.

1. I really, really hope that my sweat stains aren't too noticeable

2. I wonder if I have abs yet... I mean I already did like thirty crunches

3. How has that dude been sprinting for 20 minutes straight, he seriously can't be human

4. I've already been here for 20 minutes, can I go home yet?

5. Wow, I LOOOOVE those Nike's

6. HOW IS SHE NOT SWEATING ITS A MILLION DEGREES IN HERE.

7. I wonder how many calories I've burned today

8. I should totally get Starbucks after this

9. If I do another squat I think my leg is going to fall off

10. I hope no one just saw me pick my wedgie

11. I should've stayed home

12. Why did I EVER think it was a good idea to go for a run

13. I should've came at 12... no one ever comes here at 12.

14. Dammit I forgot my headphones

15. Lord PLEASE put me out of my misery

16. I did five push ups in a row, I totally deserve ice cream tonight.

17. Why on earth do I pay money to come here and torture myself

18. How the hell do you work this machine...

19. OW, ok I did NOT do that right

20. Wow I feel so much better about myself now, I'll totally be back tomorrow......

yeah probably not.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
