Swimming is a great way to exercise or cool off in the summer
Margaret Whittel

Swimming is an all around great sport many people do it for fun or they do it competitively. It is a great way to stay in shape or cool off on a summer day.

1. Swimmers always have at least five bathing suits because we have practice every day and normally people don't wear the same suit unless they really have to. (I did a few times).

2. We have multiple pairs of goggles and we all have our favorite kind. I prefer Speedo Vanquisher because they suction to your face better in my opinion.

3. You've had multiple swim caps break on you. They really hurt when they break especially when it's on your head, they are latex ones instead of silicone.

4. You have so many swim caps that you can't even count them all on one finger. Everyone gets one for my high school team and then we all have so many extras it's not even funny. I have seven or eight with my name on them from school.

5. Racing suits are hard to come by. Normally you find your two favorite kinds and stick with them. My favorites are TYR and Speedo. Your suit also has to be super tight if you want to go fast. Swim suits are the most important thing because there are so many kinds out there you just have to find your favorite brand.

Swimming is an all around fun sport that can be a bit stressful sometimes; but all in all, it is a very fun sport. It's something I personally love and hope that enthusiasts will enjoy and relish

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.
