Thoughts a Real Cheerleader Has During Bring It On

When this idea first sprouted in my mind, I had to decide which movie to focus on: Bring It On (the original) with Kirsten Dunst, Bring It On Again (which nobody I know has seen more than once), Bring It On: All or Nothing with Hayden Panettiere, Bring It On: In it to Win It with Ashley Benson (pre-PLL), or Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (again, I’ve never heard of anyone watching this twice). Ultimately, I decided on Bring It On (the original) since it seems to half-way stick to what cheerleading actually is.

Let the games begin!

  1. “Bitchin’” is not a word ever used in high school cheers.
  2. Neither is “whore.”
  3. I like this chant but I’ll never admit it
  4. I'm still big red.
  5. BF/GF cheerleader couples never happen in high school. So unfair.
  6. Where is their coach?
  7. Oh nice, actual high school level pyramids.
  8. If I studied as much time I cheered, I would have better grades, too.
  9. Cheerleaders do win more trophies than football players. Sorry not sorry.
  10. Again, Where is your coach?
  11. I remember "Be Aggressive!"
  12. Slutty dancing is all they do in these movies.
  13. These “high school cheerleaders” look either 20 or 10.
  14. Oh. My.Gosh. This girl's stunt double rocks. That tumbling was pretty awesome.
  15. Thank you Torrence for actually explaining what a competition is!
  16. Brr its cold in here!!
  17. Why do ALL of these high schools have crop tops? When was that ever a thing?
  18. I understand "stealing" a cheer, but seriously don't we all use the same ones anyway?
  19. I've never seen a real spirit stick except for, like, once.
  20. I've learned a new routine in two days. They could definitely learn a new one without hiring someone.
  21. I wish people at my school supported the cheerleaders.
  22. Hair should not be down at games!
  23. No matter what, the away team always has ugly uniforms.
  24. I love cheer-offs.
  25. Real legitimate stunts. Yes!
  26. Hey! I've actually done a cheer car wash. No bikinis involved, though.
  27. Maybe the spray tan trend should've caught on earlier...
  28. If a choreographer shows up in leather boots with belt and button up shirt, make them leave because they are NOT a choreographer.
  29. CHEERLEADERS ARE NOT DANCERS WHO HAVE GONE RETARDED! Retarded shouldn't even be used in this context anyway! We are a hybrid SPORT of dancing and gymnastics. Deal with it.
  30. SPIRIT FINGERS
  31. SPIRIT FINGERS
  32. SPIRIT FINGERS
  33. THESE ARE NOT SPIRIT FINGERS. THESE ARE SPIRIT FINGERS.
  34. Wait, I've never actually done spirit fingers seriously.
  35. OMG I LOVE UCA!
  36. I want to be an extra in a cheerleading a movie.
  37. You can never use too much hairspray.
  38. These routines aren't too bad, but the music is AWFUL!
  39. More tumbling…
  40. THAT STUNT IS LIKE SO FREAKING ILLEGAL WHY WHY WHY
  41. Point your toes, please.
  42. Prepare for total domination.
  43. Yes, facials!
  44. I actually hate Big Red.
  45. I would break up with my boyfriend if he told me I wasn't captain material.
  46. Devoting every hour to practice before nationals is the norm, though?
  47. "You're a cheerleader?"
  48. Sorry, but if my enemy wasn't going to nationals, I wouldn't ask my dad's company to help them.
  49. But still, How dare they rip that check up!
  50. I do dances and motions in my living room all the time.
  51. This is a pretty cool nationals venue.
  52. ESPN, Yea!
  53. These warm ups look really crowded.
  54. I wonder if these teams are real.
  55. Awesome stunt doubling going on right now…

  56. And more illegal stunts with ugly uniforms.
  57. That was horrible synchronization.
  58. I've seen vomit at too many competitions.
  59. Seriously haven't we had enough illegal stunts? Are we trying to see how many more we can fit into the last 15 minutes of the movie?
  60. But wait! I just noticed they don't have ribbons or bows on. None of them. Why?
  61. Also, why don't any of these routines have cheer portions? Like this isn't all-star. Where are the words?!
  62. Since when did they award $20,000 for first place?!?
  63. Yay, second place! JK, I wanted them to win.
  64. Second place does NOT feel like first, but still a half decent movie.
  65. "Oh Mickey You're So Fine, you're so fine you blow my mind. Hey Mickey. Hey. Hey. Hey."
  66. I only watch this movie for the ending.
  67. This is also the only reason I know this song.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
