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!!!!!

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!
