If The University Of Dayton Hosted The Olympics
CBC News, Chris Pumphrey

With the 2016 Rio Olympics being shown continuously and college move-in being right around the corner, I couldn't help but wonder...what Olympic sports would take place if the University of Dayton were to host the games?

1. Synchronized Napping

Automatic gold medal if you end up having the same dream!

2. Weight-gaining

How many pounds can you gain simply by switching to eating nothing but dining hall food? Includes an intense Monster Cookie-eating contest.

3. Artistic Procrastinating

It's out with the old ways and in with the new. How are you going to creatively procrastinate this year?

4. Stuart Hill Slalom

What better place to do some skiing than good old Stuart Hill?

5. GymNatstics

For those who choose to engage in drinking alcohol, specifically the infamous Natty Light, this one is for you. How many back handsprings will you be able to land when you're under the influence?

6. Skimming

Think of all the time you would save for yourself if you were a professional skimmer.

7. Netflix Cycling

The gold medal for this will go to the best binge-watcher.

8. Coffee Sprint

It's 2 a.m. You have a test tomorrow, and you haven't studied. You need coffee desperately. Which exhausted college student will make it to the coffee fastest?

9. Boxing (Up Your Stuff)

Only the most efficient and space-saving packers will steal the medals for this one.

10. Freestyle Skipping

Who will be the Ferris Bueller of skipping class?

11. Triathlon (Social Life, School Work, & Sleep)

Balancing homework, getting enough rest, and being able to hang out with friends is truly a sport in itself. The gold medal for this one will go to the most balanced student.

12. Free Food Relay

Similar to the Coffee Sprint.

13. Basketball

Some sports are just classics, and when you have as great a basketball team as the University of Dayton, basketball is definitely one of those.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
