Chloe Kim Is An Olympic Gold Medalist But She's Also My Woman Crush For These 10 Reasons

Recently, Chloe Kim has been hitting the headlines as the youngest woman to ever win an Olympic gold medal for snowboarding at the 2018 Winter Olympics!

If that doesn't give you enough reason to fall in love with her, then here are 10 more:

1. She's musically talented

When she isn't on the slopes, she's working hard and sacrificing her “manicured fingernails for trimmed nails and calluses" to play acoustic guitar.

2. She's trilingual

She's fluent in English, Korean, and French!

3. She has a great sense of humor

She recently went on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and photobombed some of her fans with Jimmy and her gold medal!

4. I don't know about you, but hygiene is key

Look at her pearly whites!

5. She is a Korean-American

She competed at her first Olympics and won a gold medal in her homeland of South Korea. Although she represents the USA, she takes great pride in her Korean roots! Look at her hugging her parents!

6. She's freaking adorable

7. She definitely works hard to hone her skills as a snowboarder

8. But, she loves food just as much as I do (potentially even more since she's an athlete!)

9. She is just like us

She didn't cry after winning a gold medal because she spent so much time on her eyeliner that morning.

10. Last but not least, SHE IS AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL WINNER AT AGE 17

She's a 2000 baby! Honestly...what was I doing at age 17? Probably sitting in bed and watching Netflix.

Seriously though, Chloe Kim has done so many things by 17, and I'm so excited to see what more is to come! #womancrusheveryday

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
