I’m one of those girls who always says they’re going to go to the gym to workout, but actually just passes right by the rec center and goes straight to the dining hall. At one point in my life, I thought about making a list of horrible and frustrating things that I would rather do than spend an hour or more at the gym. It took a lot for me to actually get up out of bed and leave for the gym that dreaded first time that I went, but after that first day, I actually went for 2 (ish) weeks straight.

Based on the time I actually spent at the gym and the thoughts I collected while working out, here’s a list of things every girl who doesn’t go to the gym thinks when she actually DOES go to the gym:

1. Why are there so many mirrors EVERYWHERE?

2. Am I doing any of this right?

3. I want to use that machine but I don't want to look stupid.

4. If I passed out right now, would anyone actually care?

5. Is anyone else in excruciating pain right now?

6. There are so many cute boys here BUT I AM SWEATY!!

7. Ah, I get it! The mirrors are here for guys to obsessively FLEX AND LOOK AT THEMSELVES EVERY 5 MINUTES!!!

8. I should've just walked past the gym and went for coffee instead

9. Oh, so I'm supposed to clean the machines after I use them? WHERE’S THE RULE BOOK??

10. FOOD. WATER. ATMOSPHERE.

11. Who the heck makes the playlist for this place?

12. How has that person been RUNNING on the treadmill for the last 15 minutes?

13. Which one of these do-hickeys do I use to get a butt like that?

14. How do all of these girls afford so many pairs of athletic leggings?!?!

15. Is that guy checking me out or do we just keep making eye contact by accident? ;)

16. Sweat may look good on some people, but I definitely am not one of those people

17. Is that me? *sniffs armpits*

18. Maybe if I don't look at the clock, time will go faster.

19. My phone better not die bc there's no way I'm going to be able to get through this without music.

20. I haven't used this muscle for 5 years so maybe now's a good time to start doing that again

21. HOW THE HECK DOES THAT PERSON BEND THAT WAY???

22. All I want is a beach body, is that too much to ask for??

23. Hey, exercising is kind of relaxing!! *accidentally twists ankle*

24. Oh sh*t, I should've stretched before

25. Who am I kidding, I'm just here to buy a smoothie that they sell downstairs afterwards

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.

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.
