As the 2016 Rio Olympic Games come to a close, the time comes to reflect on what we've seen take place over the past two weeks. From the triumphs to the disappointments, the surprises to the scandals, the new records to the failures, these Olympic Games have kept us entertained. Whether you have watched every minute of olympic coverage or have only seen the highlights that are shared on Facebook, we all must be thinking about the same thing while we watch these athletes do their thing. Here is what you've probably been thinking while watching the 2016 Olympics.

1. "This doesn't seem that hard"

I mean anyone can swim. It doesn't even look like they're working that hard! Ok.... maybe it does. I don't know, clearly it must be difficult if it's in the olympics.

2. "There's a sport for that?"

Speed walking? Ping pong? Enough said.

3. "Who really cares about this record?"

I mean seriously? "Yah know Bill if George wins this he will be the first middle child to win a bronze, then a silver and then another bronze all 8 years apart since 1988.You want to know another incredible fact? No one cared about that record, even the first time it was set! Now back to you, Janet"

4. "Do I really need all this back story?"

I feel like they're explaining this athlete's entire life story but I just want to see who wins this race

*30 seconds later*

"YOU GO GIRL. I mean, she's just had to overcome so much with her injury last season and her big fall at worlds and I just don't know what I'm going to do I'm so emotional."

5. "Why do they never zoom in on the person who's going to come in 5th?"

I mean, Usain Bolt is great and all but what about the guy who's 3 behind him? He seems like he's working pretty hard too! What if I was the guy who came in 5th? I'd want some attention too! Sorry I'm not the freaking fastest person in the world. I'M TRYING MY BEST OK GOSH

6. Do people actually watch these sports for the 3 years and 350 days in between olympics?

Who knew they even had swimming competitions outside of the olympics?

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.
