10 Ways You Knew That You Were On A Pompon Team
Sarilya Barbaro

1. You were caught mini moving your routine in class

You get a lot of weird looks, but you really just have to get it down before practice later


2. Anytime a good song comes on you start choreographing in your head

Hey, who knows when you might use that for a routine!


3. Every time a part of the season ends you're already planning for next year

It will be one day after high kick and you're already thinking about themes for next year


4. Summer camp is the most fun and stressful 4 days ever

You are learning so many routines but still have to think about your original and you can barely feel your body, but you get to go away with your team and bond so it's all worth it.


5. You live for competitions

Football game and pep rallys are fun, but we really work for that feeling walking off the competition floor knowing you killed it.


6. You're coach could be the scariest person ever

If you did everything well it was fine but if it wasn't up to their satisfaction well... you better just start running.


7. The girls on staff were your role models

You looked forward to seeing who would be your staff sister every year, and you formed an immediate bond with them that lasts for years.


8. Walking up the stairs after practice is just a terrible thing

It always takes way longer than it should and you are already dreading the next time you'll have to walk up them.


9. Sharpen up, hold your ground, and guide are key vocabulary terms

Pom really has their own language when you think about it.


10. Achieving your goals is the most indescribable feeling

Not only are you making you're coaches and team proud but you're also getting that recognition from the pom community that all your hard work payed off!


The pompon community has been such a blessing in my life and I'm glad that I'm still involved in 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.
