Everyone gets excited for the Olympics, whether it's to watch your favorite athlete, cheer for Team USA, or to simply watch the best in the world. A lot of people are motivated by what they see, but sometimes it just makes you temporarily think about things you usually wouldn't. Here are eleven things regular people say during the Olympics:

11. Let’s warm up like an Olympian, it’s obviously working for them *gets way too hyped before going into the pool*

Nothing is more motivating than watching the Olympics.



10. Shoot, she’s my age, what am I doing. I’m going to pick up air rifling.

She learned in five years, I could learn in four. Then again, I have school so probably not, but it's a thought.


9. If I trained I could do that (not really).

Maybe I could, like, improve my cartwheel.


8. Michael Phelps is a god.

No question.


7. *sees a less popular sport* We should try that!

Proceeds to get tired after ten minutes or someone gets seriously injured and the attempt fades into a great memory.


6. Jumping around cheering in my living room has me as tired as the athletes.

I think it's time for a nap.



5. Why do they treat 4th place as a failure, they’re the fourth best in the entire world. That’s amazing.

They have a medal in our hearts.


4. How do these people not crack under this pressure?

Years of training, down to a single day, a single moment. That's terrifying.


3. That volunteer got to high-five an Olympian. I’m going to volunteer for the next Olympics.

Can it please be in an English speaking country?


2. Look at that medal count, now that's America being great!

How patriotic do you feel during the Olympics?


1. I’m need to go work out.

If they can do all of that, I can get up and work out.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
