Who says we can't win GOLD?!?

With the new semester vastly approaching for college kids everywhere and the Olympics going on down in Rio, I could not help to think about if they gave out Gold medals and had an Olympics in college, who would win? Here is the competitions and winners that I think would take the Gold!

1. The Obnoxious Jock


If you thought that jocks were just in high school, you were wrong. Most of the time jocks are worse than ever in college. Rather they be the star of the Team or in a major Fraternity, they normally always think they rule the school. These are the ones who most teachers just give an A, to pass and to continue letting them play for the school.

The way to tell which Jock wins gold, is by the amount of school colors they are wearing and how many A's they get without trying.

2. The Sleeper

I know that sometimes there is that one dreaded teacher that you cannot seem to sit through without closing your eyes atleast once! (especially if it is an 8 a.m.) There is always that one kid in the back of every class who decides that a little catnap or two won't hurt, but they do it every single class period!

The Gold in this one is given to the person who can do this without snoring and can still halfway keep up with the class information!

3. The Extracurricular Guru


It does not really matter what his grades are, but this guy is apart of every club on campus! Environmental Club, Check. Honors Club, Check. Sci-Fi Club, Check. Even clubs you did not even know existed! In addition to all of these, they are also either president or apart of the board on at least half!

The gold goes to the one who is a member of the most clubs. Bonus points if you are apart of the board or higher!

4. The 4.0 Student

This student can make an A with there eyes closed. Even a 99 is mediocre for them! These are the students everyone else envies, although one day we will probably have to work under them.

Gold is awarded to the student who maintains a 4.0 and takes the most hours in one semester.

5. The Serial Whiner

In the easiest class where you are already guaranteed an A, this person will still complain! Everything to them is hard and they say they will never make it anywhere in there lives. This is probably the same person that will leave you hanging in the group project, so watch out!
To win this gold, someone must complain at least once every minute and cry three times a class.


We may be the same age as those in Rio, but we sure do not have their skills! Atleast we all shine in our own areas!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
