20 Thoughts I Have at the Plex

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

1)    Great job, you got yourself to the Plex. Your ID has been swiped, so now whatever system they use knows you were here too.

2)    Should I Snapchat my gym outfit so that people know I’m here? #subtlebrag

3)    No, my outfit doesn’t match. I’m here for a workout, not a photoshoot.

4)    OK, maybe just a picture of the treadmill before I start.

5)    Gonna shoot for 2 miles, then I’ll do some work on my arms.

6)    Wow, how has it only been 5 minutes? I feel like I’ve been on this machine forever.

7)    I definitely should’ve watched something on Netflix instead of listening to music.

8)    Seeing Ryan Gosling right now would really motivate me to keep running.

9)    OH MY GOSH, it’s the cute kid from my class.

10)  I hope I’m not sweating too much.

11)  But maybe he’ll find it attractive that I’m working out?

12)   Nope, my heavy panting and bright red face are definitely not attractive…avoid eye contact.

13)  OK good, did my time for cardio, now it’s time to do some arm workouts.

14)  My friend said I should try some new workouts… let’s see how this machine works.

15) Am I doing this right?

16) I definitely should do push-ups more often, I am weak.

17)  Wow, push-ups are harder than I remember.

18) OK good job, work out completed. Now go get a salad to keep up this health kick!

19) Oh man, that fro-yo looks good.

20) Well, you can reward yourself today and go to the Plex again tomorrow.

I'm a sophomore majoring in Communications with a minor in History. My post-grad goal is to work at NBC, but don't ask me what I want to do or how I plan on getting there. If you're ever looking for me on campus I'm most likely in the chocolate bar, drinking an iced caramel latte and pretending to be doing my work.
I am a Political Science major and Women's and Gender Studies minor at Boston College. I am an RA on campus and am involved in the Student Admissions Program. Since I am from Florida, I can legitimately say that I love long walks on the beach. I also love getting lost in a world fabricated by a novel, there is honestly nothing better.
