The lives of wives and girlfriends of professional athletes

"WAGS stands for wives and girlfriends of sports stars," is a incessant line you will hear on E!'s series WAGS.

The original series is based in Los Angeles and revolves around the lives of women who date or are married to professional athletes. Although this show does seem to glorify being with an athlete by depicting it as the acme of success and fortune, there are certain women on WAGS who advocate independence.

Essentially WAGS is like any other show on the E! channel, trashy television that promotes vanity, greed and fame. Yet, being a normal female living in a world of materialism, I cannot deny that I am an avid watcher of WAGS.

Aside from these pitfalls, I can argue that many of the women on the show have amazing fashion and often offer beauty tips which I always enjoy listening to.

So when E! announced that it would be releasing a spinoff called WAGS Miami, I figured I would watch the first episode. It was quickly became apparent that if WAGS embodied the previously mentioned vices then WAGS Miami was the epitome of these vices. The women introduced spoke of unwritten etiquette which involved numerous ways to keep "their men" happy. Ultimately, their lives seem to center on the sole purpose of tending to their significant others.

The tipping point came when one of the women on the show explained that when she and her husband first began dating they were walking past a group of females who had large breasts. The woman turned to find her partner staring at them. After he was done, he turned back to his at-the-time-girlfriend and told her that she needed to get her boobs done. The wag ended her story by telling her friends that she scheduled her consultation the next day.

I was astonished to see the distance to which these girls will go to please these athletes. Although I enjoyed watching WAGS, as it did portray strong women who supported themselves financially, the WAGS spinoff clearly exemplifies the lives of females who invest their time into creating a perfect facade of themselves that will please professional athletes.

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.
