My Thoughts While I Watch The Olympics

I don't think that it has really hit me that this year was the summer Olympics. I still get excited when I see something about it. When I watch the trials, read the articles, so many different things are running through my mind. It is when you start to realize you are untalented and that you are weak. These are my four top thoughts when watching the trials.

1. I wish I could do that.

Who doesn't wish that they could flip across the floor and fly through the air? Or swim across a pool that fast, or jump so high to spike a volleyball...because I know I want to.

2. Man, I am lazy.

I am literally sitting on the couch right now watching the trials. I am eating and being lazy while these people are incredible athletes....AWESOME.

3. Why don't I have that six pack?

I do my crunches but why can't I be perfectly fit with a six pack. They are in such great shape and again, I am over here........

4. 'MERICA

I think during the Olympics is when we have so much pride. USA USA USA. I think this is when people bond together over one thing just like we do every year on the 4th of July, now we are just doing it for sports.


So hopefully you enjoyed the summer Olympics. Use it for motivation to go out and exercise. Don't think you can't do it because if you practiced like they did, you probably could. However, still have that American pride.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
