Everyone knows the struggle of staring at the gym as you walk past it, trying to remember the last time you actually entered inside and did a workout. But why is finding the motivation to workout so hard?

After all, going to the gym has all sorts of benefits and perks, you may have just forgotten since it's been so long since you've dared to walk inside. But fear not, because I'm here to remind you why you should go to the gym today.

1. You'll feel better about yourself

No more kicking yourself in the butt for not going to the gym because today you are actually going to go and it will make you feel amazing!

2. You can show off your new athletic outfit

Nothing will make you feel better about yourself than when you strut into the gym with brand new Gymshark leggings on.

3. Having dessert is truly deserved

You shouldn't have dessert too often, but it always feels more justified after a tough workout.

4. Weirdly enough, you'll have more energy afterward

It's almost like working out is good for you or something.

5. You might meet a cute person there

Maybe fate will bring your future partner to the gym and you'll bump into each other as you both try to use the same weight rack. You never know.

6. You don't have to worry because not everyone is staring at you

I know it can feel like everyone's eyes are on you when you're at the gym, which is a major reason to skip a workout. But I promise, no one else at the gym is worried about you. They're just doing what they have to do like you are.

7. Post-workout smoothies are the bomb

Yum yum yum.

8. Water always tastes better at the gym

I swear this is true. Hate drinking water? You'll love drinking it while you're working out.

9. You can post on your story that you're being healthy now

Isn't that what it's all about? Not really, but it's still fun to show off to your friends that you're being healthy.

10. You can feel confident in that sexy outfit in a few months

Maybe you aren't feeling the best about yourself right now, but working out can do wonders for your self esteem, so hopefully you'll feel confident in that cute outfit sometime soon.

11. You can take a day off soon, just not today

Contrary to public belief, you do not need to workout every single day. In reality, your body needs a day of rest so your muscles can recuperate and continue to grow. So just keep reminding yourself that you get a break in a few days.

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.

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.
