How Keeping Up With The Kardashians Inspires Athlete Preseasons

How Keeping Up With The Kardashians Inspires Athlete Preseasons

Preseason has already started for some athletes, and it's just around the corner for the rest of us. With preseason comes double days, team bonding, cute action shots (not!), and everything else.

What better way to keep up with preseason than using the Kardashians to help demonstrate what many of us athletes go through, while other students are at home enjoying the rest of their summer break.

1. That moment when you are finally reunited with your teammates.

Because summer group messages just wasn't the same as being with them in-person.

2. Meeting the new freshmen.

You might not even know that they're on your team until you run into them at the first team meeting (sorry freshmen). P.S. We do care even though Khloe obviously doesn't.

3. Double Days.

Your days of sleeping-in are over, naps become your best friend, and one shower a day isn't enough anymore.

4. The Big Mistake.

That moment when the play that you messed up on comes up during filming, and your coach has a five minute lecture about it.

5. The Tough Loss.

We think about what we could've and should've done, but there's no better way to get over a loss than beating them the next time you meet.

6. The Action Shot.

That moment when you find out that your not-so-cute action shot is on the team's webpage. It's like the photographer loves picking the pictures that we look most awkward in so that our teammates have something to laugh about all season.

7. Your BFF's Time To Shine.

I feel like one of the best things about season is when you get to cheer on (or play alongside) your bff. She kicks the ball, you cheer. She drops a girl, you cheer. She breathes, you still cheer. Friendship goals on and off the field, duh.

8. New Positions.

Coach says: "It'll be fine." Coach really means: "Don't make a mistake or I'll sub you out."

9. Life In The Training Room

That moment when you get injured and it feels like you basically live in the training room (thanks trainers!)

So to my fellow athletes, good luck. May the weather be nice, may your double days fly by, and may your season be the most memorable yet.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
