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

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
