I just joined the Crew Club at College of Charleston last week. Before we get on the water and actually start to row though, we have to go through land conditioning which involves a lot of running and core exercises. We also do this at six o'clock in the morning; it just makes a great time even better. I really enjoy meeting new people by joining the team and I'm proud of myself for powering through the workouts, but I always have the same thoughts running through my head every morning. Anyone who has sacrificed sleeping in to work out has. So here is a list from someone who feels your pain.

1. It's too early for this

2. Is being in shape worth waking up this early?

3. I would really like to go back to bed

4. Okay, I'm waking up a bit more now 

5. Never mind, I'm ready to fall asleep again

6. Don't back out now, your already on the way you have to actually work out 

7. Getting started is, like, half the battle

8. Running isn't so bad

9. Oh wait it's actually really bad

10. Why did I decide to do this?

11. Why am I so slow?

12. Why am I so weak?

13. I can't even breathe

14. When did lunges become so hard?

15. Jumping jacks are actually really tiring and I hate them

16. I hate squats too

17. And push-ups

18. And sit-ups

19. So I guess I hate working out in general

20. Is everyone else as sweaty as I am?

21. How gross do I look?

22. How gross do I smell?

23. I can't wait to shower

24. Water has never been this refreshing

25. Am I doing this exercise right?

26. And we're running again

27. Running sucks so much

28. Alright we're done

29. That wasn't too bad

30. I feel so proud of myself

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
