Most of the world is invested in the Olympic Games, whether as an athlete or spectator, however there are various degrees of dedication. There are die-hard fans who truly love the sport at play, there are fan-girls who are dedicated to specific athletes, there are patriotic citizens who want to see their country win the gold in every event, and then there are those who just watch for the fun of it. Yet regardless of your level of dedication, there are inevitable thoughts and feelings while watching the games. And while I cannot speak for the male population, here's Emma Stone to sum up those thoughts & feelings for the female Olympic watchers of the world.....


When you well up as Simone Biles sticks her floor routine and secures the gold for the U.S. women's gymnastics team

And your family begins to question your emotional stability

So you compose yourself and prepare for men's swimming

And after much anticipation..

Phelps enters the stadium looking like he has a fatal case of ring worm

but then le Clos takes off his warm-up uni and all is right in the world again

The race begins and Le Clos is in the lead

You can't stand to watch!

*Spots Phelps' baby*

AWWWW look at him in his little headphones. Hiiiiiii Wittle BABY

*Hears the announcer comment on Phelps' speed*

AHH WAIT I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION !! Phelps is in the lead! Go Go Go GO PHELPS!

Phelps wins and le Clos places 4th

Time for the men's 4x200m relay...

And OMG it's Ryan Lochte! ...... or is it an oompa loompa

Will that spray tan wash off in the pool?

Dear Ryan Lochte,

Jk I still love you. ALOT. plz love me plz !


At this point you're upset that Lochte isn't acknowledging you through the TV screen and you are thinking "Come on NBC, lets switch back to a women's sport, I am dying here."


Great, now women's beach volleyball is on!

You take one look at the volleyball players .. annndd...


... there goes you're self esteem

Looks like its time to put away that pint of ice cream you've been devouring and go to sleep.

See ya never Rio Olympics 2k16. Gnight.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
