We Should All Bow Down To The US Women's National Team

Let alone the fact they are now four time soccer world champions.

We Should All Bow Down To The US Women's National Team

Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe...you've probably heard these names multiple times at least in the past month, if not longer. If you haven't, these are two women on the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) for soccer, which just won the Women's World Cup. The team of women on the USWNT are not only incredible athletes but role models and straight up bada**es. The USWNT filed a lawsuit against FIFA for equal pay between the women's and men's teams and have fought countless times for gender equality in sports. They were not scared to fight for what they believe in and change the lives of those around them. That in itself is incredible.

Rapinoe, a Women's World Cup champion, Golden Boot winner, and Golden Ball winner has not been afraid to speak her mind. During an interview, she said she's not going to the White House if the team wins. This turned heads, and some people thought it was great and others inappropriate. Regardless of your view, she was not afraid to speak her mind and stood by her views when she was questioned.

Ashlyn Harris is also a big name on the USWNT. She has been documenting via Instagram stories the team's excitement of winning completely candidly. It shows a personal level of love the team has for each other and shows how this group of highly elite athletes still has fun and loves the support fans, friends, and family give.

Aside from the "off-field" activities, players like Crystal Dunn and Rose Lavelle are showing their insane athleticism throughout the entire World Cup along with the rest of the team. This group of women has not only shown how good they are on the field, but they also are not afraid to tell it how it is and fight for what is right. It is truly inspiring to see them thrive and care so much about our country as well as not care about what others think of them. They are an absolutely amazing team inside and out and deserve this win (and many more to come) on and off the field.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
