Saturdays Are For Wrestling

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

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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
