5 Best Social Media Posts Of The Olympics

The Olympics have been full of many amazing moments. From the fantastic swims by Michael Phelps, to the amazing performances from the "Final Five", Rio has given us some pretty unforgettable moments. Both in the competitions and outside, the athletes have put on quite a show. But, the events are not the only thing the athletes are doing during the games. Many have been updating their social media to engage with fans as the games go on. Here's five of my personal favorites. If you just can't get enough of Team USA, check out these awesome posts.

1. Ryan Lochte's video of his grandma carrying the olympic torch

Most of you may have heard about this by now, but it stays one of the most adorable posts of Rio. Lochte's grandma can is seen being pushed around her nursing home as she carries an Olympic torch. Basically the cutest grandma on the planet.

2. Katie Ledecky's #SwimPoolKaraoke

As if anyone needed another reason to love Team USA swimming, this hilarious video is for you. Seeing someone of the best swimmers in the world jamming out in the car and dancing the way we all do, is a great reminder that they are actually regular people.

3. Simone Biles height difference post

Simone Biles has basically been the star of Team USA. The media loves her and it seems so does America. One of the cutest things about has to be her young age. At just sixteen years old she has become a household name. And if that isn't reason enough to find her adorable, she stands at just 4' 8". This pic she tweeted really puts that height difference into perspective. Like seriously, how is this even possible??

4. Michael Phelps and his posts with Boomer

Following his apparent downward spiral amid charges involving alcohol and drugs, many worried for the path Michael Phelps was heading down. However, these past few weeks in interview after interview he has made it clear to everyone that his family is the best thing that's ever happened to him. So while this one is definitely one of my favorites, any post with his family is pretty adorable.

5. Aly Raisman's post after securing the silver

Following the disappointing finish for Aly Raisman in the olympics four years ago, the build up to this moment was insane. It seemed as if there wasn't a single person on the planet that wasn't rooting for her to come out on top. In case anyone was doubting what this moment really meant to Raisman, this post makes it clear. Excuse me as I hold back the tears.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
