Watching the olympics is almost a sport in itself.

Your Facial Reactions When Watching The Olympics, As Imitated By Ross Geller
Warner Bros. TV

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
