Every time I go into the downtown area of my town I pass a SoulCycle studio. For those of you that don't know SoulCycle is an indoor cycling studio that has been sweeping the nation. SoulCycle is just one of my spinning studios around the country. I have always been interested in trying a spinning class but have been deterred by the hefty price tag. 1 class at SoulCycle costs $30. You can buy packs of classes which tends to be less expensive, I, however, could never justify the price.

Earlier this week my friend told me about this spinning studio called Zengo. She said it was an amazing workout and less expensive than SoulCycle. They offer your first class for free so I figured I would go check it out. We signed up for a 7:15 a.m. class which was interesting because I am by not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. Some people are excited by the morning, I am repulsed by it. The prospect of waking up at 6:30 was daunting and seemingly impossible.

Shockingly enough I got my ass up and out the door on time and let me tell you, I am SO GLAD I did. I am now completely obsessed with spinning. When the class first started I genuinely thought I was going to pass out. It was hot and I could barely understand nor keep up with the instructor. However, after about 20 minutes I finally felt like I was getting my grove. I could cycle on the beat and climb the "hills" with the best of them. Exiting the class I was drenched in sweat. My clothes weren't sweaty, they were soaking wet.

After my class, I finally understood why people are obsessed with spinning classes. Not only is it a phenomenal workout but you get an incredible rush of endorphins at the end. It helps me kick start my morning and puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day. While the price tag may be a little high, in my opinion, it is totally worth it!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
