5 College Things That Should Be Olympic Events

Aren't we all Olympians in our own way?

5 College Things That Should Be Olympic Events

The Olympic Events give countries a chance to come together and watch the world’s greatest athletes compete in several sports. And if you're American, the Olympic Events are usually a reminder that other sports exist outside of baseball, basketball, and football.

But you might not have time to watch this year's Olympic Winter Games, especially if you’re a college student. Don’t worry, however! Your everyday activities are just as impressive as an Olympic Event. Or so you tell yourself.

1. Eating an entire pizza by yourself.


OK, so this technically counts as competitive eating. But your only competition is your body’s desire to stop eating. Remember, any pizza is a personal pizza if you’re brave enough.


2. Summoning the willpower to do laundry.

College laundry rooms are often the busiest yet awkward places on campuses. Even if you manage to find one with free washers and dryers, there’s always the chance that your hamper or bag might break and spill your clothes all over the floor. May the gods of detergent smile upon you.


3. Waking up late and subsequently rushing to class.

You've slept through your alarm. Or maybe you forgot to set an alarm in the first place. Either way, your class starts in five minutes and you haven't even gotten out of bed yet.


4. FaceTiming, Skyping, or just talking with your parents while hungover.

I am not condoning underage drinking, nor am I suggesting that it's just a part of college life. But let's not kid ourselves. If you've to recover from a wild night, catching up with your parents probably isn't one of your priorities. And if you know your parents wouldn't approve of the wild night you just had, you'll probably have to act normally. But all the coffee in the world won't help you explain to them why you’re wearing sunglasses indoors.


5. Writing a satirical clickbait article.

Do you think this is easy? Well it is, as long as you can live with selling your soul for those sweet, sweet views.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
