7 Things That Go Through My Mind When I Go To The Gym

No one ever taught me the right way to work out. They taught me to run and that's about it.

When I go to the gym I don't think about a whole lot of things but when I do, these are the thoughts that are running through my mind.

1. PLEASE don't get on the cardio machine next to me...

I go to the gym to do my own thing and I don't like when people get on the equipment next to me. I feel like there is a competition that is about to go on next to me (that's why I go to the gym when it isn't really super busy).

2. How close can I park to the gym so I don't have to walk super far when I am done?

I love working out and I try to go relatively early so that I can make sure I do everything that I need to do but when I am done spending my hour to hour and a half at the gym, I don't want to walk for another 6 miles to my car. I have things I need to be doing.

3. The gym isn't a place to socialize.

I know that sounds bad but isn't the gym a place you (may or may not) pay money to go to, to GET FIT?! I love that there are people that make friends at the gym but take the chitchatting to another area or something. I am at the gym to get fit and be healthy and I really don't like that people are talking really loud and right next to me. It just annoys me I guess.

4. Am I doing this right?

I am 19 years old. I took gym all through elementary school, middle school, and my freshman year of high school. No one ever taught me the right way to work out. They taught me to run and that's about it.

5. If I workout, think about the food I get to eat after.

I am a foodaholic and that isn't a good thing. I go to the gym so that I can justify my eating habits.

6. WOW, I wanna look like that.

I always see super skinny people in the gym and I am a thick person. I don't have a small frame. My parents are super tall and thick too and it runs in the family and I am so jealous because I want to be skinny.

7. Will this workout ever end?

I go straight to the cardio equipment because they have presets and i can do those and work on the parts of my body that i want to fix and i do 2 different workouts almost everyday. so that one hour that i am there makes me want to speed up time.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
