Whether you're still going strong on your New Year's resolution, or just going to the gym so you can maintain your mildly athletic facade, there are always a couple emotions that gym-goers share.

1. "I have to go workout"

I really don't wanna do this. I'm still sore from yesterday. Can I just take a nap?

2. Getting pumped up on the way there

Okay, I can do this. I can definitely do this. I'm a cardio MASTER.

3. Seeing familiar faces

I just walked in...why are like, seven people I know here? NOPE.

4. The first few minutes of cardio

This isn't terrible! I can keep this up for a half-hour— let's go longer!

5. Let's sweat!

Oh god, I'm dripping buckets. I can literally feel it running down the back of my legs, my arms, down my forehead... I FEEL SO GROSS. I'm SO looking forward to this post-workout shower.

6. OVER IT

I can't breathe, my legs are on fire... why am I still doing this? Why did I think that this was a good idea?

7. This is it... this is the end.

When you almost slip and fall on the treadmill and your life flashes before your eyes... totally casual.

9. Stretch time

I think I love stretching so much because I love people-watching. Creepy, right?

10. Eye candy

Perks of going to the gym: really buff guys in really small shirts. That's always good to have, right?

11. I can definitely do 20-pound weights...

How do people pick these up like they're nothing???

12. The last rep of the day— here we go!

13. Stairs... Why did I think taking the stairs would be a good idea?

My thighs and booty are crying.

14. YOU DID IT!

Proud of you! Now walk (crawl) out of the gym like the strong, badass woman you are!

15. Finally home

There's nothing better than coming home, taking off your shoes, and crashing on the couch after a nice, soul-cleansing shower. Now to do it all again tomorrow...

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
