11 Things Regular People Say During The Olympics

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.

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.
