Throughout my athletic career, I've had lots of great memories from the many sports teams I've joined and attempted to join. Although, due to not being the most athletically inclined person, I've had my share of mishaps and mess ups. Of course, these situations are completely and most honestly a part of my career. Athletics aren't only about being your very best, but appreciating yourself and moving forward even at your not so good moments. I've created 10 scenarios that relate to my most "unathletically rewarding" moments of being an athlete.

1. ”Throwing is simple with good technique.”

"Practice makes perfect."


2. “Just use more aggression when you try to steal the soccer ball.”

"BE AGGRESSIVE! Don’t knock the person out!"

3."We'll do an easy route since you're just starting cross country.”

"I guess we can take another short cut."

4. “You’ll be perfectly fine squatting without a spotter.”

"Next time make sure you put the bar back before you let go."

5. “After this work out you’re going to feel refreshed and completely renewed.”

"You should really stop making those noises."

6. “You won’t sweat that much I promise.”

"Well losing water weight isn’t a bad thing."

7. “You didn't make varsity, you’d make a great water girl though!”

"Could you hand me my water bottle?"

8. “You got 2nd place! I’m so proud of you!”

"You didn’t tell me it was out of two people."

9. “Usually the nonathletic people have better sportsmanship.”

"You should really try to be nicer, they’re just trying to help you out."

10."You do a lot of sports, you must be so athletic and know so much."

"Wow you really put the definition of ‘just for fun’ and ‘hobby’ into sports... I like it!"

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.
