The winter Olympics are finally here. Amazing athletes have made it all the way to Pyeongchang to compete and take home the gold. If you've been intently watching, you've probably caught yourself a few times yelling at the TV, clenching your fist or feeling yourself getting nervous for the athletes and then realizing your hands are so clammy it's like you're the one competing.

Watching the Olympics is like a roller coaster of emotions, you hear the backstories of the athletes, then find yourself emotionally attached to them, so you really want them to do well and medal, but then if they mess up you are just completely devastated and find yourself on the verge of tears for someone you don't even know...

Regardless of how you choose to feel toward the competitors, one thing is for sure, the winter Olympics have way too many close calls for dangerous situations. From watching snowboards smack their heads the halfpipe to watching people fly down the luge at 60 mph asking yourself how this activity was cleared as a sport?

There is no one better to describe the emotions you feel during the Olympics other than the "Friends" character who is incapable of hiding even the smallest emotions; Ross Geller.

Every time a speed skater rounds the corner

How, just how, do you not slip?

Whenever an ice skater is thrown and is just chilling mid-air for a few seconds

... And then they somehow manage to land on one foot

Don't know how they do it, but they do. Trusting someone enough to throw you ten feet in the air...

When you watch skeleton and people are just speeding down ice head first like it's nothing

Cringing at every turn, and just hoping no disaster strikes. Then wondering how this is allowed/safe and who in their right mind would voluntarily put themselves on a thin sled and fly down a sheet of ice at 60 mph.

Seeing ski jumping thinking about how terrible that would be and how you can't even go down bunny slopes

Watching four-man bobsled just hoping they all make it in the sled in time

"Are we all in!? Did everyone make it!?" Then getting distracted cause bobsledding reminds you of "Cool Runnings," and that was the best movie of your childhood.

When alpine skiing comes on and you find yourself moving left and right as if you control the ski's

Lastly, when curling comes on...

Why is this a thing? Does anyone actually like this sport? Does anyone actually understand it? Are there die hard curling fans out there in the world, please LMK.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
