15 Thoughts I Had While Watching The Olympics
Daily Mail

Now that the Olympics are over, the buzz is slowly dying. Pretty soon we will be focused on football season. While we move on to other sporting events, none have quite the hype of the Olympics. Those who love sports and those who hate them tune in to see each country represented in the Olympics by the greatest athletes in history. You have your favorite athlete, favorite sport and of course, favorite country. Mine were Simone Biles, Volleyball, and USA, of course. While watching the events, I had all kinds of thoughts, like "Why is Simone Biles so darn cute?" Here are 15 of my thoughts I has while watching the Olympics:

1. "Why in the world did I quit (certain sport)? I could be an Olympic gold medalist."

Gymnastics was my certain sport. I could just see me tumbling on the floor and flipping over the balance beam. In reality, I would have landed on my head while tumbling and probably would have broken a bone (or several) on the balance beam. Gymnastics wasn't my strong suit, it is probably best I leave it to a professional.

2. "Wow. Are they human?"

There is no way a body can just move like that and not break. I mean, mine would.

3. "What does Michael Phelps do with all those medals? Does he just wear them around the house all the time?"

*Postman comes to the door* *Phelps answers wearing all of his medals*

4. "Who would win a race, Bolt or a cheetah?"

Bolt, definitely.

5. "Of course he is the fastest man in the world, with a last name like Bolt it comes with the title."

Like did his family change their name when they saw him run or did his last name just inspire him?

6. "Is he really that fast, or is that just my HDTV enhancing him?"

He must be a robot. (see #2)

7. "How do they flip on a balance beam and still land on it?"

It is like they have a magnet that attracts them to the beam. My magnet is attracted to the floor.

8. "What does a gold medal taste like?"

They keep biting it and I just want to know.

9. "What could I win a gold medal in?"

Fencing? Rifle? Binge-watching? I'll go with Netflix.

10. "What in the world do they eat for breakfast?"

It can't be the cereal they are on because I eat that and have not seen a change in my abilities.

11. "I think I could do that trick. (Tries and completely fails) Never mind that."

Reason I am covered in bruises.

12. "Shoutout to the people competing against Phelps/Bolt, I would have given up with that name beside me."

Well, I would never be competing against them in the first place.

13. "How does one find/meet an Olympic athlete? Are they always at the gym?"

*buys a gym membership*

14. "When they fill out a resume (if they even have to do that) do they nonchalantly fill out they have so many gold medals and so may titles?"

I think I would automatically give them a job.

15. "Since the USA won all these medals, does that mean I have a higher chance of becoming an Olympian?"

I think there must be something in our water, but where can I find this water????

GO USA!!!!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
