I go to the gym sometimes by myself but most of the time I only go when my boyfriend wants me to go with him. I mean I like working out and how it makes my body feel. What I don't like is the anxiety and nervousness that comes with me going by myself. I feel like I don't belong at the gym because I can't run for 20 minutes and I most definitely can't lift 100lbs.

I feel like I'm out of place and I have to hype myself up just to get myself to go. I also wake up at 6 am just so I can go before the gym gets too crowded. If you relate to any of this, then these ten thoughts you may relate with.

1. Act normal when they swipe your card, don't be nervous.

Giphy

I have been there before and I know my card works so I shouldn't be nervous.

2. Okay, I just need to find a locker to put my stuff in now.

Giphy

I think I spend more time looking for a good locker than working out...I'm just kidding. The most important part of the process is putting my stuff in a locker that I can see or getting a lock for it.

3. Just walk to the machine like you know what you are doing and be confident.

Giphy

I know that I know how to use the machines that I use so I just need to remember that.

4. What do I do now since most of these Treadmills don't work and the rest are taken?

Giphy

I'm silently freaking out because I was planning to use the treadmill, but most of the treadmills are freaking out of order. What do I do now?

5. I think I know how to use the Elliptical.

Giphy

I think I used one of these as a kid...let's see how this goes.

6. Ah okay, the Elliptical isn't bad at all and this will make for a nice workout.

Giphy

This isn't too bad and this is actually a really easy workout.

7. When are those people going to get off the Treadmills?

Giphy

I feel like they have been here forever and all I want is a treadmill.

8. My legs are going to look amazing from this Elliptical workout.

Giphy

Can you imagine how good my legs are going to look in shorts if I workout on the Elliptical everyday?

9. Finally, someone is getting off of the treadmill.

Giphy

I mean it feels like 8 hours later when someone is finally done with the treadmill.

10. Run to the treadmill!

Giphy

This may be the only time today I run, but I need that treadmill.

11. Whew, I snagged the treadmill before the others that were staking it out.

Giphy

Waiting for a treadmill is no joke and this is one of the many reasons that I don't like coming to the gym.

12. Let's start this workout nice and easy.

Giphy

I will start this workout walking for a while and then jog because I don't want to over do it.

13. Why are these people running like 5 seconds after they got on the treadmill?

Giphy

What is happening? Don't these people need to warm up first because I know that I do.

14. Am I doing this wrong? I'm still walking 10 minutes into my workout and these people are still running.

Giphy

I honestly don't know how these people are doing this, but whatever I'm trying my best over here.

15. My workout is over and I will return when someone asks me to go with them.

Giphy

The workout itself wasn't bad, it was the waiting for the machine and just being nervous that was bad.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Yify

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

No, I can't help you.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."

The world's greatest university meets the world's greatest show.
