11 Thoughts You Have While Watching The Olympics

Yes folks, the 2016 Olympics is in full swing. Wherever you go you can usually find the games playing somewhere and while doing so I'm sure at least one, if not many of these thoughts have crossed your mind.

1. "I would die trying to do that."

For example, the biking event is practically 1 million miles and I would meet certain death if I even attempted.

2. "These people are so dedicated."

I can't even fathom the dedication it takes to be an Olympic athlete.

3. "Imagine the training that they had to do for this."

Years and years of training, and it really pays off for them even to be participating in the Olympic games.

4. Getting emotionally attached to a certain competitor and then getting upset or overjoyed depending on how they place.

I have been known to cry actual tears because of this.

5. "This is an actual Olympic event?"

No disrespect, I just didn't realize there were so many events.

6. "I'm tired just watching these people."

Just trying to imagine the amount of energy that these people are using in these events makes me physically tired even though I am not doing it.

7. "Those outfits are cute/ugly."

Okay, you know you've thought this.

8. "Seriously, these people have been training their whole life for this."

For so many of the athletes this is their one chance to compete at this level and they've been working their entire life for this. That's so cool.

9. "I wish I was talented enough to be in the Olympics."

The events, while crazy intense, seem like they would be so cool to be a part of.

10. "Look how many badass women there are this year."

Seriously, the Olympics is 45% women this year and that's the most there has ever been. That is so exciting!

11. "This is so inspiring."

You have to admit that watching the Olympics is inspiring and makes you feel all the feels. Even if you aren't into sports you can still appreciate the dedication and impressive talent of these athletes.

All in all the Olympics are a good time. It is a chance to see talented humans showcase their abilities and get the chance to compete for something awesome.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
