Boomer Phelps Just Understands

Michael Phelps has 28 Olympic medals, 23 of which are gold. And now, a new (smaller) Phelps has joined in on the swimmer's spotlight, his three-month-old son, Boomer. Boomer Phelps has been on the world's radar not just because he's the son of the most decorated Olympian of all time, but also because he's downright adorable in his soundproof headphones, patriotic pants, and chubby cheeks. Boomer is a golden baby and has been front and center during these 2016 Olympic games in Rio to watch his "Superman" dad dominate the playing field his fifth time around.

Phelps finished off his record-breaking swimming career with a gold medal in the 4 x 100 medley on Saturday, August 13, and his fiancée Nicole, mom, and baby boy were in the stands for this historic last race. Although Boomer may not know much about Olympic glory just yet, he's become quite the famous fellow himself. His face, that has been circulating the internet and stealing our hearts, says it all. And he may just understand each and every one of us—take a look:

When you can’t come to terms with what you've just eaten and start questioning every life choice you've ever made:

When you get home from a long day and your bed feels like Heaven:

When you're feelin' yourself and don't care who knows it:


When the person you're with won't stop taking selfies:

When you just got away with something super sneaky:

When you're tired but still want to hold bae's hand:

When you remember that really important thing you were supposed to do but didn't do and it might come back to bite you in the butt:


When you realize you match the carpet:


When your song comes on and you're loving life and no one can bring you down:

When your friends force you out of the house and you're nothing but a big ball of resentment:

When you wake up from that "5-minute nap" that lasted too long and you've never felt more lost:

When you're just happy to be alive (those pants though):

When you realize you have grade-A genes:

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
