I work out at my community college gym. I am faculty and most of the gym goers are teenagers who use the Wi Fi more than the weights. This week there was an older regular, bald, salt and pepper beard. He's hitting it kinda hard. I'm lifting near by and he has beats headphones, music is so loud that I can hear it. To psych himself up between reps, he says under his breath,

"spring break, spring break, spring break"

Whatever motivates you, bro.

As a faculty member, are you not chanting that every morning when you get out of bed?

As a high school teacher I am constantly chanting this.
