32 Thoughts I Had While Watching The First Week Of The Olympics

I could probably medal in that...there's a medal below bronze, right?

32 Thoughts I Had While Watching The First Week Of The Olympics
ET Online

The 2016 Summer Olympics, held in Rio, just wrapped up their first week of events. I love the Olympics so much for so many reasons. I don't know anything specific about these sports, and I mainly watch swimming to see attractive people swim ridiculously fast, but I kept questioning if the human body should be able to do what these athletes were doing.

1. This opening ceremony is pretty awesome. I mean it doesn’t have corgis like the 2012 opening ceremony, but it’s pretty great.

2. Olympic Dog Walking should totally be added as a sport.

3. Or, like, Olympic Dog Petting.

4. There needs to be more dogs.

5. So "cupping" is a thing?

6. Lochte… what did you do to your hair?

7. The diving pool is green? Why is the diving pool green?

8. I miss those Filipino divers. I loved them. Maybe they made it to the Olympics?

9. John Elmerson Fabriga is me. We are one person. He should be here.

10. Who is that?

11. Is he single?

12. Oh, he is only like nine years older than me… I can make it work.

13. Nathan Adrian is actually sunshine, and no one can convince me otherwise.

14. OK, but like, does rugby have any rules at all?

15. Oh, they got engaged! So cute!

16. What country is that?

17. Why didn’t I pay attention to geography more?

18. "I Believe I Can Fly" would be all that I would listen to if I were competing in the gymnastics events.

19. I could totally do that vault routine.

20. Well I could do it if I only had to run up to the vault.

21. Simone Biles is my age and she is the most decorated gymnast in the world… my biggest accomplishment was eating a large pizza by myself in under an hour…

22. How much do Olympic athletes actually eat though?

23. I think I would actually die if I had to be on a relay team with Michael Phelps.

24. That’s too much pressure. Nope. No thanks.

25. Are swimmers aware that their toes are basically fingers holding on to the podium?

26. I could probably swim that fast…you know, if I tried really, really, really hard.

27. Even though I know that table tennis is an Olympic sport, it still makes my heart happy.

28. Olympic Foosball should be a thing. Am I right?

29. Wait, the first gold for Team USA was a teen girl?

30. Yes! Go her! So proud!

31. All I can think about is that Bill Murray tweet right now.

32. I think I could go to the Olympics if ordering obscene amounts of food from Taco Bell and Chick-fil-A for one person ever became a sport.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
