My Reaction To The Players

Wow @ Ken Duke

My Reaction To The Players
Ken Duke

If you're a golf fan, and you had access to cable television this past weekend, you were watching the Players Championship. If you're a golf fan, had access to cable TV, and didn't watch...well then you aren't a golf fan. Jason Day won for the 7th time in his last 17 starts on tour. That is absolutely ridiculous, and something we haven't seen since our lord and savior Tiger Woods was in his prime. All of that aside, the greens on Saturday were RIDICULOUSLY fast, and we saw some of the best players in the world shoot scores that we rarely ever see them shoot. Rory Mcilroy had FIVE 3-putts, a ton of people shot 80, and the field was a combined 254 over par!!!!!! WHAT!?!? These are the best players in the world, and they were that far over par? I can't even imagine how fast those greens must have been rolling. Yet and still, Ken Duke, 47 years of age, hits the ball absolutely nowhere, sporting his Houston Astros tour visor got around the Stadium Course in 65 strokes...65. SEVEN under par, on a day when the field averaged 76. I haven't looked at any of the stats, but that's gotta be one of the best weekend rounds ever on the PGA Tour in relation to the field average. It was one of the top 5 most impressive rounds I have ever seen. More impressive than most 59s, more impressive than Jason Day shooting -20 at Whistling Straights. I would put it in my top 5 along with Tiger's final round and playoff round at Torrey in 2008, Phil's final round 66 at Muirfield in 2013, YE Yang becoming the first player to ever beat Tiger when he had a 54 hole lead in a major (can you imagine the guts that took?) and then Ken Duke.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
