My New Rant

By Sidra Roberts

I have a non-collectibles rant this month. I’ve been busy with school and as such it has taken over the most of

Lately I’ve discovered that people look at you like you’re a sicko when you leave the Recreational Center with something from the vending machine. I’m sorry, when I’m hungry, dinner is far off and I want a snack, I get a snack. It all seems reasonable to me. I don’t go to the Rec Center to work off pounds. I have more important and entertaining things to do than obsess about my weight and go to the Rec umpteen jillion times a day to work off the food I ate at lunch. I get the most ugly looks imaginable from the people that have obviously spent lots of time on the work out machines making their bodies mostly muscle. I like muscle, but you know, I don’t want to look like a lumpy mattress. I think that exercise addiction is just as bad as most other addictions. I know I should probably go and play sports more often, but few people I know like the sports I do and I don’t have equipment for the others I like. I can’t sit there and use a machine to work out. It’s boring. My mind needs more stimulation that staring at the same place and moving my legs, but never really getting anywhere. Additionally, I must walk at least 4 miles a day at school in order to get from class to dorm to food to class to boyfriend’s dorm to Memorial Student Center, etc. etc. ad nauseum. All that walking has to be good for something other than making my jeans fit tighter in the legs. What really annoys me is that if they look at me like that, what looks do they give obese people when they leave the Rec? *shakes head*
