You know that feeling of pressure when everyone around you looks built, fit and just overall good? Like you HAVE to keep your body in order just so you don't risk getting compared to others because of your slightly off gym bod?! Well, although it is important to have some standards, it is also vital to do what you want with your life and to live how you want. That could be by ignoring the beauty ideals or just acknowledging your passion for having a flat tummy or muscular biceps. Living how you want can go one of both ways and that is perfectly acceptable There are people out there with different preferences.Now, for myself, I would love to be in shape and eat right. But the motivation is not there.It would make me feel better to literally be living better, and I know to achieve that, I have to make better eating choices and build a gym regimen.

The only way I know I can achieve this is hitting the gym because I for sure am not letting go of my eating habits. For me, I just cannot bring myself to go to the gym or find that I am happy to be going. On one hand, it does feel rewarding after a gym sesh, but initially getting up and going takes a lot of internal motivation.Laziness takes over and something comes over my mind that tells me that laying on my bed is a much better idea than getting up, getting in my car and bringing myself to hell the gym.

However, for those times when you find the motivation, here are 10 thoughts you might have when you arrive at the gym…

1. CRAP. Forgot my headphones, again.

2. All the machines are taken…should I just go home?

3. I hope I’m not using this machine wrong. There are a lot of people who could be judging.

4. I walked in from the parking lot… that could be enough exercise for today.

5. When you’re on the treadmill and you pray to God you don’t end up like all of those YouTube videos.

6. Why do I even wear a sports bra? My boobs aren’t big enough to make a difference in my exercise.

7. 40 minutes so far? Might as well push myself to the extra 20 mins.

8. I think I should reward myself after this with some ice cream.

9. After running on the treadmill for 7 minutes: *oh no I can’t breathe* and in comes the anxiety.

10. *checks out self in the mirror* Is that an ab?

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.

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.
