Ryan Lochte, Olympian Or Liar?

Time will tell.

Ryan Lochte, Olympian Or Liar?

As we all know, except for maybe those of you who are living under a rock, the Rio Olympics has been quite the whirlwind for a number of athletes. Simone Biles went home with four gold medals and the reigning champ Michael Phelps walked away with his 23rd gold medal. But unfortunately, while some walked away with medals, others were walking away from the Olympics with their heads hung in shame.

Over a week ago, it was reported that while out in Rio, fan favorite swimmer Ryan Lochte and two other Olympic swimmers were held at gunpoint and robbed. Lochte had been interviewed about the incident, being quoted to even say that when they were being asked for their money, his only response was "whatever."

But as they say, only time will tell. And as the events of the night unraveled, it seems as though the men involved in this whole incident were nothing but liars. What truly occurred that night was the three men went into a gas station in Rio belligerently drunk, where they proceeded to trash the bathroom of this very facility.

Where afterward, they were confronted by guards with guns, but never were they directed at Lochte's forehead as previously stated. Apparently, instead of coming clean with this whole ordeal from the get-go the men felt the need to lie and Lochte went back to the US only days later.

While the story begins to unfold, there are several questions being asked as to what will happen to Ryan Lochte's swimming career. One being that a ban from swimming is definitely on the table. It'll be interesting to see how this story unfolds.

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.
