12 Things All Soccer Parents Have Said

If you grew up soccer player, there is a 100 percent chance that you have promised yourself that you would never be "that parent". There is also a 100 percent chance you are a liar.

The Soccer Mom and the Soccer Dad are as timeless and classic as the beautiful game itself. You cringe at them then but they, along with your coaches, are what made you into the player you are today.

1. "Can't you get a carpool?"

Just as much as you probably didn't want to go to every three a week training sessions, they didn't want to shuttle you back and forth either.

2. "Do you have sunscreen in your bag?"

You always had two bottles of sunscreen in your bag thanks to Mom. It didn't protect you from the enviable soccer tan but that didn't stop her from slipping it in there every game.

3."You need me to rub in on your face?"

No mom I'm good.

4. "You listen to me, not your coach."

Theres always that one parent on the team who used to play or has studied every world cup who thinks they know better than the coach and goes on ESPN worthy game analysis rants on the car ride home.

5. "Why aren't you playing?"

That's a really good question, I would very much like to know as well.

6. "Lemme talk to the coach."

The parent who is wholeheartedly convinced one of their special phone calls right after practice about how their kid deserves better or their opinion on the training session is actually taken to consideration.

7. "You know your brother/sister did this..."

Wow really??? I didn't know they were on this team. I thought this was my jersey, my apologies.

8. "What does that call mean? What happened?"

Some parents pick up a thing or two after years of sitting on the sidelines for your games. Some parents just have it all go right over their heads.

9. "KICK IT!! ! !!! !"

Thats's what I do to the ball yes, no that's not all you're supposed to do.

10. "You're doing great sweetie!"

When coach, the starting 11, and all of the bench is yelling at you at least someone has your back.

11. "Maybe I should coach next year?"

Please for the love of God no.

12. "I can't, I have to take my kid to soccer."

Thank you Soccer Moms and Dads for all that you do for us. No one supports us better than you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
