Stages of Working Out According To The Office

Sometimes I want to sweat it out, but then I think mmm better not.

Stages of Working Out According To The Office

Why would I want to put myself through all that pain when cake exists?

You realize that "Hey I have so much energy let's go work out!"

You show up ready to kick butt. You're life is going to be together. Maybe you'll run to Target and get some workout gear. While you're there might as well get that lipgloss light you saw, that pillow with the monkeys on it, and the monogrammed towels.

Getting to the gym you start out strong.

Nothing can stop you at this point. You are alive. Your blood is pumping. You can feel every nerve in your body just light up. You have decided to start out on the treadmill, because that's what you know how to do, and you're feeling good.

Now you're about two minutes in and you're starting to feel it.

Maybe this was a mistake? Why can't I breathe? Are my pants chaffing? Why am I sweating this much? When was the last time I worked out? Has that lady even worked up a sweat she's been here for hours?!

Oh no, I can't just run and then leave.

Looking around you realize that you should probably try some of the machines before you leave. You wouldn't want to seem weak. Some guy is pumping over a hundred pounds while I can't even pump five. There's some girl stretching with her legs over her head. This machine requires you to do what?!


It's finally time to leave.

You know what half an hour at the gym is fine. I can come back next month. One sit up can last me a life time right? Is that guy judging me? Do I even care anymore? I can wear these yoga pants on the weekends for lounging around right? They don't ever need to see the inside of the gym again, right?


As soon as you walk into your house you see it...beautiful, beautiful junk food.

You worked out anyways. It doesn't matters. Cake is good. Ice cream is good. Everything is wonderful with chocolate melting in my mouth. Who cares if I don't work out regularly cake will never make me sweat. Ice cream would never ask me to tear my muscles apart to stay healthy. Life is good when unhealthy food is involved.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
