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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
