The Difference Between Athletic Girls and REALLY Athletic Girls

As a college varsity female athlete, I have noticed a few discrepancies between people's expectations of female athletes and what we are really like. Many people assume all athletic girls are alike because we enjoy sports. But, there is a very large difference between girls who play sports and girls who eat, drink, sleep, and breathe sports. So, whether you are one of these girls, you know one of these girls, or you are dating one of these girls, let me spell it out for you.

1. An athletic girl gets along with the guys, a REALLY athletic girl is one of the guys.

2. An athletic girl owns some athletic clothing, a REALLY athletic girl only owns athletic clothing.

3. An athletic girl joins a game of street soccer, a REALLY athletic girl starts a game of street soccer.

4. An athletic girl is hungry at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a REALLY athletic girl is hungry 24/7.

5. An athletic girl showers after a workout, a REALLY athletic girl showers after her last workout of the day.

6. An athletic girl watches sporting events with you, a REALLY athletic girl invites you to watch her sporting event.

7. An athletic girl schedules training around her day, a REALLY athletic girl schedules her day around training.

8. An athletic girl takes a water bottle to the gym, a REALLY athletic girl takes a water bottle everywhere.

9. An athletic girl will sometimes be injured, a REALLY athletic girl will sometimes be healthy.

10. An athletic girl cares about how bad she looks when she plays, a REALLY athletic girl cares about how bad she makes the other team look when she plays.

11. An athletic girl thinks about the win, a REALLY athletic girl thinks about her mistakes.

12. An athletic girl cares about the number on the scale, a REALLY athletic girl cares about the number of plates on the bar.

13. An athletic girl borrows her friends' leggings, a REALLY athletic girl borrows her friends' sports bras, spandex, and hair ties.

14. An athletic girl has a couple athletic friends, a REALLY athletic girl has a couple non-athletic friends.

15. An athletic girl has a gym buddy, a REALLY athletic girl has a gym squad.

16. An athletic girl brags about her boyfriend's one rep max, a REALLY athletic girl brags about her own one rep max.

17. An athletic girl pays to play her sport, a REALLY athletic girl gets paid to play her sport.

18. An athletic girl compares herself to other girls, a REALLY athletic girl compares herself to guys.

19. An athletic girl recovers in her off season, a REALLY athletic girl... wait, what's an offseason?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
