17 Thoughts Every Cheerleader Has While Watching World Championships
cheerdaily.com

Its that week in April ... every cheerleader has been waiting for this week/weekend to come around the entire season. Its World Championships. Three days of non-stop, around the clock cheerleading. These three days can be the best and worst days of your life. You pretty much forget to eat because you're so stressed out that you're favorite team is competing this weekend. Every cheerleader at one point or another has found themselves in tears because of the way awards work out ...

1. Cheering in your sleep ... Large All Girl Senior Level 5 and Large Coed Senior Level 5 are the hardest divisions to watch on Sunday night. There is always a problem with the live feed, or USASF just enjoys keeping the entire cheer world up until 1 a.m. on Sunday. You sit there and wonder this exact thing ... Props to the athletes throwing double fulls at 1 a.m.

2. The anxiety that your favorite team is going on first. Every team that competes first in their division sets a standard. They also have the hardest time with scoring because this is the first team the judges have seen. You get so nervous that you find yourself yelling at the judges to remind them to score fairly.

3. When a team no one has heard of makes it to finals. You're just sitting there like ... and then you see their routine and you're just like ...

4. How you look at other teams fans when they're beating your team .03 after day one. Because no one really wants to deal with those fans who don't realize that day one scores are gone after finals schedule announcements.

5. When the live feed stops working. There is nothing more frustrating then hearing the music to the routine but all you can see is the World 2016 logo.

6. When you keep refreshing twitter to see the score sheets from @cheerupdates. You don't think you're doing it that often until you find yourself tapping the phone screen like Darla from Finding Nemo ...

7. When the other teams in the division are preforming. It is physically impossible for you to take your eyes off of the routine. You just sit there like this for two minutes and 30 seconds.

8. When your favorite team is up next. This is the exact representation of how we feel when the team you want to win is taking the mat.

9. Praying to the cheer gods. You suddenly find yourself sitting on the floor in front of the screen begging the cheer gods to keep your team safe. 10. When you're waiting for placements to be announced. You don't know what to do with yourself, so you have to slap yourself to make sure you still have feeling in your body.

11. How you feel when the opening stunt is happening ... Also how you feel when "your teams" stunt hits vs when it doesn't.

12. When they play good music in-between team performances. You suddenly find yourself dancing to the music.

13. When "your team" hits zero at worlds. It's the first time all year that they've hit zero too.

14. You suddenly realize you've been watching cheerleading for 12 hours straight. Can't stop, won't stop.


15. When your team slays.

16. When your team wins. You celebrate like you were right there on the floor with them.

17. When worlds is over ... When Monday ends and you really don't know what to do with yourself for the next 363 days.

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.
