Preseason As Told By GIFs

Ah, preseason. Summer is finally coming to an end and all your months of hard work and training are ready to be put to use. Coaches are prepped, fields are groomed and teams are ready start their quest at a championship season. Here's a little look at preseason... as told by GIFs.

Finally being reunited with your teammates.



Only to sit through hours of meetings,


And physicals.


Walking into your locker room and seeing new apparel, shoes and gear in your locker.



Then there's the thought of your fitness test in the morning...



But then the relief once it's over...


Being able to shove your face at the dining hall.



And barely being able to make it to your bed before you fall asleep.


Having to set your alarm for 7 a.m.


"Good Morning, It's going to hit 90 degrees today."


Knowing you have a two-a-day ahead of you.


The bitterSWEET feeling of an ice bath.

Getting to know the new freshmen...


When your parents call and ask how practices are going.


Having your teammates support when things get hard.


When your coach plans team building activities.


Feeling mentally and physically prepared to take on the season.


IT'S HERE, THE LAST DAY OF PRESEASON!


Congrats! You finally have a day off!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
