26 Signs that You Are a Volleyball Player
Volleyball Basics

Whether you played casually on the beach with your friends, on your high school team, or even in college, you know that just like any other sport, volleyball has its own ins and outs (ha-ha quite literally). Read up on the 25 ways people know you play volleyball.

1. Your kneepads stink.

Seriously, those things are toxic.

2. Your ankle braces stink.

3. Even your volleyball bag stinks.

At this point, you've pretty much given up.

4. You’re almost always the tallest person in the room.

Sorry libs.

5. Clothes never fit right.


What are these -- clothes made for ants!? See number 5.

6. Your knees look like they have been attacked by a chainsaw

Floor burns on floor burns.

7. Elbows, hips, and any other knobby extremities are also jacked up.


Anyone who said volleyball is a non-contact sport clearly didn’t include contact with the floor.

8. Pre-wrap isn’t just for injuries, it’s a ~fashion accessory~..

Not sure why this girl is hunching, but pre-wrap head bands are so in.

9. There's almost always a hole.

Sorry mids, but you're most likely going to get blamed for it.

10. You’ve probably yelled at a ref before.

Are you kidding me, THAT WAS SO OUT!

11. Sport courts are the bane of your existence.

Lmk how it's possible to rip a jump serve with three feet of court.

12. Any casual game of “Prisoner” or “Keep it Up” turns into a full on blood bath for you.


Everyone probably hated your guts in high school gym class.

13. You think being 6’ is short.

14. The only volleyball players people are familiar with are Misty May and Kerry Walsh.

But, honestly, you're kind of okay with that because they're legends.

15. Facials are not as enjoyable as one might think.

16. Pancakes are not for eating.

17. Your personal hell can be summed up by four words: “Get on the line.”

They're called suicides for a reason.

18. Your fingers are nearly always jammed.

19. You think butt touches and high fives are normal in real life.

Sadly, the rest of the world doesn't seem to think so.

20. Ankle socks are lame.

21. Turtle-shell kneepads are also lame.


22. You’re a scrub if your socks and your kneepads don’t match.

23. Campfires aren’t for s’mores.

24. Turkeys aren't the only things that get stuffed.


25. You randomly jump and try and touch all low-hanging exit signs

Exit signs are a good stand in for the VertMax, right?

26. At the end of the day, you wouldn't want to play any other sport.

Ball is life, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
