26 Moments Only Swimmers Will Understand
Topalski

With swim season in full swing this year I thought it would be nice to reflect on all the things that make swimmers swimmers. I am sure I will experience all of the things listed more than once during this season. If you are a swimmer please read and take time to reflect on why you do the crazy sport. If you're not a swimmer…good choice.

Having to wake up at 5:30am for morning practice

Going to school in your pajamas

Never seeing the sunlight during swim season

Having to pack a three-course meal for lunch

Backpack filled with snacks

Diving blocks on shallow ends

Crying in the locker room with your team

Laughing in the locker room with your team

People asking to see your hairy legs

Dead hair from all the chlorine

Dying through dryland

Being excited when your coach announces taper

“Sorry, I can’t hang out I have practice.”

Literally not being able to breathe during sets

Someone saying “It smells like pool” and you automatically know it’s you

Underwater high-fives with the person swimming backstroke next to you

“Take your mark….Stand please” UGH

Finding out you're doing a fly set

Shoulder problems

“Cap me.”

Being upset when you get the best time during practice or a relay

Having songs stuck in your head during a distance set

Meet warm-up being the scariest moments of your life

Cap headaches

Missing school events because of a swim meet

Your team becoming your family

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
