Volleyball Basics

Whether you played casually on the beach with your friends, on your high school team, or even in college, you know that just like any other sport, volleyball has its own ins and outs (ha-ha quite literally). Read up on the 25 ways people know you play volleyball.

1. Your kneepads stink.

Seriously, those things are toxic.

2. Your ankle braces stink.

3. Even your volleyball bag stinks.

At this point, you've pretty much given up.

4. You’re almost always the tallest person in the room.

Sorry libs.

5. Clothes never fit right.


What are these -- clothes made for ants!? See number 5.

6. Your knees look like they have been attacked by a chainsaw

Floor burns on floor burns.

7. Elbows, hips, and any other knobby extremities are also jacked up.


Anyone who said volleyball is a non-contact sport clearly didn’t include contact with the floor.

8. Pre-wrap isn’t just for injuries, it’s a ~fashion accessory~..

Not sure why this girl is hunching, but pre-wrap head bands are so in.

9. There's almost always a hole.

Sorry mids, but you're most likely going to get blamed for it.

10. You’ve probably yelled at a ref before.

Are you kidding me, THAT WAS SO OUT!

11. Sport courts are the bane of your existence.

Lmk how it's possible to rip a jump serve with three feet of court.

12. Any casual game of “Prisoner” or “Keep it Up” turns into a full on blood bath for you.


Everyone probably hated your guts in high school gym class.

13. You think being 6’ is short.

14. The only volleyball players people are familiar with are Misty May and Kerry Walsh.

But, honestly, you're kind of okay with that because they're legends.

15. Facials are not as enjoyable as one might think.

16. Pancakes are not for eating.

17. Your personal hell can be summed up by four words: “Get on the line.”

They're called suicides for a reason.

18. Your fingers are nearly always jammed.

19. You think butt touches and high fives are normal in real life.

Sadly, the rest of the world doesn't seem to think so.

20. Ankle socks are lame.

21. Turtle-shell kneepads are also lame.


22. You’re a scrub if your socks and your kneepads don’t match.

23. Campfires aren’t for s’mores.

24. Turkeys aren't the only things that get stuffed.


25. You randomly jump and try and touch all low-hanging exit signs

Exit signs are a good stand in for the VertMax, right?

26. At the end of the day, you wouldn't want to play any other sport.

Ball is life, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
