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."

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
