Simone Biles Is Literally The Most Relatable Olympian Ever
Galore Mag

"I don't think I've ever seen Simone Biles cry," said the announcer's voice as Simone Biles tearfully waved to the crowd in the Olympic gym, only seconds after learning she had done it: she had won the gold medal.

It all came down to her floor routine. If she could just nail it, she'd clinch the gold, and nail it she did. With that one routine, Simone Biles became a household name and national hero.

With all her achievements, it can be hard to remember that Simone Biles is really just a regular 19 year old from Ohio. So, here's proof that even with all the gold medals, huge muscles and 5000 dollar leotards, underneath it all, Olympians like Simone are just like us.

1. She has a huge crush on Zac Efron.

I mean, we all do, but Simone? Her love goes deep. Like, deep enough that she has a Zac Efron leotard, and I'm seriously jealous.


2. She loves pepperoni pizza.

Biles recently told ABC News that after every competition, she eats pepperoni pizza. “It doesn’t even matter if I don’t win a self-gold, after every meet I have pizza. Pepperoni pizza.”

3. Her Twitter game is fire.

If you aren't following @Simone_Biles, you are missing out.


4. She's terrified of bees.

At the 2014 World Championships, she literally jumped off the podium when she saw a bee in her bouquet. Because, you know, when you're being crowned the best gymnast in the world, you gotta avoid those bees at all cost.

5. Her makeup is on point.

That glitter totally goes with the gold medal.

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.
