12 Struggles Of A Cheerleader, As Told By 'Bring It On'
Today Show

Growing up as a cheerleader, you experience more struggles than ever imaginable. Whether it's because of falling, breaking a bone, getting kicked out of practice, or dealing with the attitudes of teammates or rivals, cheerleading isn't all sparkles and smiles. Luckily "Bring It On" knows exactly what we feel.

Here are the daily struggles of a cheerleader, as told by the classic cheerleading movie:

1. When your coach tells you (multiple times) that you're replaceable.

2. When you save a stunt that should've fallen.

3. When people say, "Cheerleading isn't a sport."

4. When choreography runs into your lunch break.

5. When you don't do well at a competition.

6. The spirit stick... enough said.

7. When you have practice, two exams, homework, and no time for sleep.

8. When you have to deal with the attitudes of your rival.

9. When your coach says "last full out" but you know that really means 20 more full outs.

10. When you're on a co-ed team.

11. When your teammate calls out of practice sick so your stunt can't go up.


12. When your coach kicks you out of practice for one fall.


But, through all the struggles, you wouldn't trade it for the world.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
