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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
