20 Uncomfortably Hilarious Moments Everyone Has At The Gym During 'The New Year New Me' Phase
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLGDSBlsj-o

A gym is quite a strange place. Some people go there to strictly workout and get out of there as quickly as they can with as little interaction as possible. Others go to scope out the potential love interests and try to pick up an unexpected date for Friday night.

Regardless of what you're there for, everyone is sweating, wearing skin-tight clothing, and displaying their strength all while grunting and panting. It's bound to be a place of awkward energy and confused hormones.

1. That naked person who wants to tell you their life story in the locker room.

2. Being the person lifted instead of lifting

3. Checking out the insanely ripped person you're trying to become.

4. Wanting to be completely in sync during the Zumba class but failing miserably.

5. Laughing at (or being) that over-ambitious guy that can't handle the weight he picked.

6. The two obviously different types of people at the gym.

Giphy

7. How you feel after being there for 90 seconds.

Giphy

8. The nearly impossible task of looking away from the insanely good-looking person in short-shorts.

Giphy

9. The look you see the two fittest people exchanging.

Giphy

10. When your jam comes on in the gym and you MUST kick it into overdrive.

Giphy

11. The person who blatantly uses the equipment wrong but has zero fucks (it's probably you).

Giphy

12. Trying something new but missing the mark.

Giphy

13. DEODORANT.

Giphy

14. When you master a new workout form perfectly.

Giphy

15. Spotting the token Pilates person in the corner doing this exercise.

Giphy

16. How it feels to walk into the gym with your bud.

17. Versus finishing up a workout at the gym with your bud.

18. The real thoughts going through 99% of people's heads.

Giphy

19. Trying to be discreet about never working out a day in your life.

Giphy

20. Attempting to crush those abs but really they crush you.

Giphy

Between desperately wishing your elliptical neighbor would wear some deodorant or just feeling like a total loser with your 2lb weights, the gym is the perfect ground for awkward encounters.

You should be proud of yourself for putting on your brave shoes, banishing your tendency to stay in bed to binge watch the new season of Shameless, and actually making it to the gym to push it, even if you do look like a tool the entire time. Just kidding, you're doing great kid. Keep it up!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
