The Olympics are awesome, but I kind of hate myself after watching them.

Thoughts Of An Athlete During The Olympics

The Olympics are a very special time of the year and it is a great time to root for your country. Lots of patriotism is displayed and the greatest athletes in the world are put to the biggest test ever. The stage is set and it is so fun to witness. However, being a college athlete, it can almost be depressing to watch. These are basically the thoughts of every athlete while watching the Olympics.

"Why am I not there?"

"Where did I go wrong?"

"What was I even doing at 16?"

"Michael Phelps has as many medals and I do years of age."

"Why didn't I work harder when I was 8?"

"She's how old?!?"

"This is depressing."

"Why doesn't my body look like that?"

"Why wasn't I blessed with those genetics?"

"How do I reproduce with one of them to create Olympian?"

"I'm so glad I'm from the U.S."

"She has a kid?"

"Wait...she has three kids?"

"All we do is win."

"I'm never eating again."

"I feel a little more red, white, and blue today."

"Oh well, I could do that."

"I'll go work out now."

"I should be their coach."

"I should've picked a different sport."

"If I had started training fresh out of the womb, I could do that too."

"Thanks mom and dad."

"Is that person even human?"

"Wait...that's a country?"

"I have honestly never heard of that place."

"Is that a man or a woman?"

"Wow, look at her shoulders!"

"How do you get that good?"

"Do they get paid for this?"

"Whoa."

"USA, USA, USA."

"Wonder what the after party is like?"

"I think I could marry her?"

"I'm in love."

"I'll just sit here and eat my cake."

"Yeah, she can't be from America."

"Do I look fat?"

"Goals AF!"

"Can I be her?"

"Where can I order that shirt?"

"I wonder how tall her parents are."

"Do they all just hook up with each other after this?"

"She's got big boobs for an athlete."

"Look at those sunglasses!"

"Yeah, I tried working out once."

"That arena wasn't just there was it?"

"So how long did it take them to build that arena?"

"...And they just tear it down after this?"

"That's another gold for the USA."

"Stars and stripes forever."

"How did they get to the Olympics?"

"If I lived there, I'd be an Olympian too."

"What are they wearing?"

"Michael effing Phelps."

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.
