4 Thoughts I Had While Playing Golf

In This Article:

I feel like everyone (especially the boys) is developing a golf addiction. Since there is a lack of things to do since the pandemic hit, I decided I would try golf. I didn't start out with 18 holes, my first day on the green was spent at the driving range. I went through buckets of balls trying really hard to perfect my swing. These were the thoughts I had during the process.

Is this like Top Golf?

I've visited Top Golf many times in the past. Essentially a glorified driving range. The difference is that Top Golf is easy and fun. You sit around with your friends and when it's your turn you swing for the targets. Not so much the same with the regular driving range.

Does my golf outfit look stupid?

I came to the range decked out in my best golf outfit. A pleated white golf skirt and a maroon tank top. Too bad I didn't have a visor or a Titleist hat. I'm pretty sure anyone who saw my outfit only thought I was there to take Instagram pictures.

How am I supposed to swing?

Boy did I struggle with this one. So. Many. Questions.

Do I look at the ball or not?

How do I hold the club?

Do I follow through with my swing?

Do I move my feet or keep them on the ground?

Needless to say I will be perfecting my swing for a while.

Can my old batting glove suffice as a golf glove?

This one I can answer myself.

No, batting gloves will not suffice. I still got blisters.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
