You may or may not have heard of the acronym "NARP." Before I define the acronym, I would like to share some of the tweets I found after searching the keyword NARP on Twitter, and see if you can determine what the term means.

"Student athletes experience college in a much different way than narps."

"Yesterday I found out that narps don't like to be called narps...silly narps thinking that they have a choice."

"When NARPs complain about how tired they are...YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TIRED IS!"

So, have you been able to guess it yet? NARP stands for a "Non-Athletic Regular Person," or those of us in college or high school who do not take part in a sport. As an alternative, we simply hang around in our dorm rooms taking three or four naps a day, and watch Netflix while fanning ourselves and eating bonbons. We have absolutely no worries or priorities, and essentially just enjoy being "regular." I wish this was actually the case.

Let me start by expressing my deepest condolences to the student athletes out there, who will be DROWNING in student loans once you get out of college with the rest of us NARPs. What's that? Some of you have a free ride for the next four years? I can only imagine what that must feel like! Because us regular people will be spending the majority of our post-college lives paying off our loans. If that makes me regular, then I guess I am regular.

Next, I would like to apologize about the fact that you were held captive and forced against your will to take part in a college sports team. Maybe if you were given a choice, you wouldn't be so quick to criticize us regular people about being tired. Which by the way, I can't speak for all my fellow regulars, but I've been pretty tired lately and don't have a problem admitting it. This is all between midterms, essays, and making a schedule for next semester (you know, those things where you get first pick for...)

I mentioned one tweet above regarding the difference in a college experience between athletes and NARPs. So what is the difference? What makes athletes a step above regular? If you Google search "regular," it is defined as: "done or happening frequently." So wait...you have practice 7 days a week...isn't that a regular schedule?! If you frequent the gym everyday, doesn't that make you a regular?!

I will conclude by saying that I am friendly with student athletes on campus, and do not have a problem with most of them. The one thing I do have a problem with is when I see athletes place themselves on a pedestal, and make an ignorant tweet or social media post about "NARPs" and what we are and are not allowed to complain about. Congratulations, you have a talent. Every single individual on the earth has a talent, which are expressed differently. We are all equal, and none of us are regular. Take the word NARP out of your vocabulary, while I continue to complain about how tired I am.
