3 songs that remind me of different people

If songs aren't here to start up some emotions, what are they for, right? I listen to music about 70% of the time in the day. The radio is always on, I'm watching it on TV or just playing it on YouTube. Wherever I go, music is with me.

And I connect different music to different feelings, places, memories... Of course. And so I have these 3 songs that immediately put me in a specific spot and with specific people. Here are their stories.

Ben E. King - Stand By Me (1961)

I remember when I first heard this song. I was in fourth grade of elementary school and my friend got a mobile phone that could play MP3 music (or maybe .avi or something, but he was the only one then that had actual songs on the phone). He was showing off, of course, and played it and I immediately fell in love with it. We were all asking him to play it for us all the time. When the rest of us got better phones, with infrared or bluetooth, we had to have it too. This was about 17 years ago and I still think of him whenever I hear the song.

No Doubt - Don't Speak (1995)

Now, I don't remember when I first heard this song, but I remember why I think of one specific guy. Also in elementary school, I had a crush on this one "cool kid". Since I was always a good student and he was average to bad in some subjects, the teacher decided to put us together. We were sitting together for almost a whole school year. His grades improved (mostly cause he was cheating and I would help him), but then we also stopped sitting together and around that time I heard this song and I understood the lyrics. The first part was really applied to our relationship. The more we sat together, the closer we got and I actually thought of him as my friend (I think I dropped the 'crush' part somewhere during that time). After separating, we went back to just being colleagues and we never connected again.

Fun. ft. Janelle Monáe - We Are Young (2012)

OK, we're moving to high school and me going out clubbing. One time I found myself in a company that wasn't really my group of people (my friend ditched me for some guy so I was left with other people from my class that we randomly saw that night). Anyhow, there were 2 girls and a guy from my class and also his childhood friend. I remember this song playing all the time and I also remember my friends singing it randomly in the classes cause it was so popular back then. Long story short, few days later the other guy asked a girl from my class on a date. Eight years later, they're still together, loving each other. Even though I wasn't close with them, this song always puts them on my mind.

Name one song that reminds you of someone and share a story!

Quarantine workout routine (for totally unfit people)

I've been MIA here for basically a month even though it seems like a year to me. I've missed this. Writing. To be honest, this quarantine shit is making me crazy, but that's a whole other post I'll write soon. For today, I decided to share my newest workout routine. I just made it few minutes ago and, as usual, I think I'll keep up with it more if I share it.

Also, another reason why I'm sharing this is because I've been seeing people posting these videos and routines and I tried following some and realized I'm too unfit for most of them. I do not workout, ever. And now that I'm bored and basically not moving all day long, I decided it's time to fill my spare time with something.

I usually walk a lot during the day and I love to ride a bike when it gets warmer outside. To be honest, I could do those things now too, I should just stay away from people, but I've honestly lost the will to go outside. Everything is so empty and feels dead. We'll see how I'll feel in the next few days when the sun comes out again.

Anyhow, here's what I'll try to do while I'm in home prison. Hopefully it'll go well so I'll continue to do these and maybe add more as the time goes by.

Everyday:

• 50 squats or 15 mins on orbitrek (with different levels of difficulty)
• 10 times lifting weight - 3 series (shown here https://bit.ly/2Jp475O)
• 10 times pushing arms behind me with weights - 3 series (shown here https://bit.ly/2QXoX0u)
• 10 times lifting my arms with weights to the side (straight arms) - 3 series (shown here https://bit.ly/3dD6GPw)
• 10 times lifting my arms with weights to the side (L shaped arms) - 3 series (shown here https://bit.ly/2wL1BEk)
• ** I do them all standing straight up and trying to keep my back and spine as still as possible.

Every other day:

• 10 seconds of plank - 2 series
• 10 leg rises - 2 series

Every other time I'm not doing the above exercises:

• 10 crunches - 2 series
• 10 sit-ups

Once a week:

• 10 push-ups

If I'm not making myself clear, here's a little table of how I imagined it:

DAY 1	DAY 2	DAY 3	DAY 4	DAY 5	DAY 6	DAY 7	DAY 8	DAY 9

	10 leg rises	10 crunches	10 leg rises		10 leg rises	10 crunches	10 leg rises
		10 sit-ups				10 sit-ups

To be honest, I don't know if I'll be able to do this because I'm terrible at working out, but I know I definitely can do these. Also, I'll maybe take a day off here and there if I'll feel fatigued (which I shouldn't, but you never know).

And if you're wondering, routine should be done in about 30 minutes, but it depends on how fast you're doing some exercises, the breaks you take and so on. Don't feel pressured.

Do you like this routine? Do you feel like you would be able to follow it?
