Saturdays Are For Wrestling

We came. We saw. We conquered a random wrestling tournament.

Saturdays Are For Wrestling
Jenna Jorgenson

This past weekend a couple friends and I went to a wrestling championship tournament a couple hours away from our college. I wish I could say we went to see a friend/cousin/someone we knew, but that is not the case. We drove two hours to go to a random wrestling tournament, walking in without knowing a soul, wanting to see some good, clean wrestling. Since it was my first time watching a wrestling meet (meet? do they call it a meet?), I didn't know what to expect going in, so let me help you feel what it's like losing your wrestling-watching-virginity.

1. You're excited to see men be totally serious while wearing spandex

Okay, I know wrestling is legit but come on, those little outfits??? Hilarious!

2. Overwhelmed when walking in


Mostly because my friends and I walked into the wrestlers changing area by accident at first. When we found the real door and walked in, we quickly realized we stuck out like sore thumbs because we were neither a mom/dad nor a girlfriend of anyone present.

3. Still a little dazed and confused


Still trying to figure out why we drove two hours to a random community college to watch random people wrestle.

4. Exposed because the tournament is not as big as we thought


We were just a mere 3-5 feet from spandexed butts. We thought we would be able to blend in but nope, no blending here.

5. Comfortable



Before no time we were making friends and spewing wrestling jargon left and right.

6. THERE ARE SO MANY HAIRY LEGS FLYING EVERYWHERE

7. When someone catches you looking at a butt



Just play it cool and act like you're analyzing the move that kid just did. Act natural.

8. When you've seen too much (if you know what I mean)



What's seen cannot be unseen.

9. You eventually become so enthralled and attached to these wrestlers' lives

You've seen and studied their family so much that you are basically a part of their family. You imagine popping a bottle of champagne with their family at their house tonight.

10. YA BOI (some random kid that you've ended up cheering for) JUST MADE IT TO NATIONALS




I hope everyone has the chance to experience this at some point in their life. It will leave you feeling some type of way - not really sure what that feeling is but it's definitely something.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
