The Olympics are awesome, but I kind of hate myself after watching them.

Thoughts Of An Athlete During The Olympics

The Olympics are a very special time of the year and it is a great time to root for your country. Lots of patriotism is displayed and the greatest athletes in the world are put to the biggest test ever. The stage is set and it is so fun to witness. However, being a college athlete, it can almost be depressing to watch. These are basically the thoughts of every athlete while watching the Olympics.

"Why am I not there?"

"Where did I go wrong?"

"What was I even doing at 16?"

"Michael Phelps has as many medals and I do years of age."

"Why didn't I work harder when I was 8?"

"She's how old?!?"

"This is depressing."

"Why doesn't my body look like that?"

"Why wasn't I blessed with those genetics?"

"How do I reproduce with one of them to create Olympian?"

"I'm so glad I'm from the U.S."

"She has a kid?"

"Wait...she has three kids?"

"All we do is win."

"I'm never eating again."

"I feel a little more red, white, and blue today."

"Oh well, I could do that."

"I'll go work out now."

"I should be their coach."

"I should've picked a different sport."

"If I had started training fresh out of the womb, I could do that too."

"Thanks mom and dad."

"Is that person even human?"

"Wait...that's a country?"

"I have honestly never heard of that place."

"Is that a man or a woman?"

"Wow, look at her shoulders!"

"How do you get that good?"

"Do they get paid for this?"

"Whoa."

"USA, USA, USA."

"Wonder what the after party is like?"

"I think I could marry her?"

"I'm in love."

"I'll just sit here and eat my cake."

"Yeah, she can't be from America."

"Do I look fat?"

"Goals AF!"

"Can I be her?"

"Where can I order that shirt?"

"I wonder how tall her parents are."

"Do they all just hook up with each other after this?"

"She's got big boobs for an athlete."

"Look at those sunglasses!"

"Yeah, I tried working out once."

"That arena wasn't just there was it?"

"So how long did it take them to build that arena?"

"...And they just tear it down after this?"

"That's another gold for the USA."

"Stars and stripes forever."

"How did they get to the Olympics?"

"If I lived there, I'd be an Olympian too."

"What are they wearing?"

"Michael effing Phelps."

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
