I'm a bit younger than @FamousxMindset, but I'm into American history and how our country has changed with the emergence of the internet. In my opinion, Trump is probably the first modern president to be so vocal about his disdain for certain groups. America has always been divisive, only now...

I do love how half of the Hamilton cast has been on the show. I really felt like this season was lacking the overarching subplots that previous seasons had. It was more procedural. I hope they get some spark back.

I was waiting for someone to bring up. It was the worse of the New Class version of the show. Like there were things I thought were kind of interesting like the weird polyamorous relationship. It was finally bridging the two grades together. But I still feel like there's two different casts on...

I thought my last HS cheerleading competiton and basketball game was it for me. I cried like a baby. Then out of nowhere cheer came back to me in college. Approaching my senior year, my cheer career is still up in the air, but I know that I eventually have to go into the real world and not...

Not so much for cheer, my county has always required a capstone project/experience for seniors. Almost every single project has some sort of event that goes along with it. For mine, I used my position as a school officer to plan a tailgate for HC with activities and food for the community. I...

The more competitive a school is academically, the harder it can be to field a top caliber team. If the average GPA of an admitted student is a 3.0, then the next year it's a 3.5, you're losing out on some athletes for sure. Let's face it, every Susie isn't an AP scholar. That's why I can not...

I would tell the coaches. My mom actually has a degree in Special Education and has worked with kids who have IEPs for years. She has always stated that the 'label' is only what the parents make from it. And in some cases, they need the label to be successful. One of my former HS coaches was a...

Yes! My top one was getting pretty close, so was one at the bottom that's why he wanted me to get them out because in a few months I would've had a harder surgery. I thought I would fall victim to dry socket but thank god I didn't.

I just had all four removed week or two ago. Two on the same side were impacted, my dentist said I needed them out before the end of the year. My surgeon explained that if your teeth grow in normally it can mess with your sinuses or jaw. I luckily had one irregular one that had no roots so I...

We are in green practices days up here and for the first time, we have almost squad round off back handsprings and five standing tucks, maybe 6 by tryouts. We typically have twelve on the floor so this is good. We have some freshman with great potential to have back handsprings by the end of...

Kicking someone off the team for one mistake is harsh, especially out of season. We tend to bench because for many it's harder to dress out and sit at the end of the bench. We fear that kicking a kid with a narcotics problem would just break their spirit and force them further into whatever...

100% agree! I think substance abuse issues hint at a larger problem. How are you getting alcohol, what is making you want to go to school under the influence. Our district rather figure out that issue than punish someone. Bullying is cruel. Bullying affects other people. It almost always...

I mean I was Sober Sally in HS on a team that drank and smoke. I think for me, I was able to hangout with my friends without getting involved in what they did. I had clear morals, I wasn't judgemental. No one ever made me feel bad because I wasn't into that stuff. Real friends respect you in...

Kids in my district definitely drink and do drugs, no matter what team they're on, or what their GPA is. It's an unfortunate culture that has developed bc we are a suburb and it is what's 'fun' is for most students. The district has done quite a bit to kind of curtail these things. For example...

I know as an athlete I ran on the idea that I was my own captain because some girls on my team tried the authoritarian approach. I know as a teenager/young adult taking 'orders' by a peer never sat well for me, especially when they thought they had a say on punishments, or whatever. Funny...

I love Ariana Grande, she is one of my favorite artists. Her music is so inclusive and so good for young women, young girls. So many kids, young people, went to that concert excited to their favorite celebrity, after begging their parents to get them tickets. They spent their allowance on an...

I don't know who did our elementary school yearbook but it was pretty diverse in who was in it and who wasn't. My high school yearbook actually kept track of who was on what page in the back. Obviously the more clubs/sports you did the more you were in it, but I know my friend who was the...

I might have never won a NCA championship but more people are interested with the NCAA games I got to cheer.

My friend told me to follow her on finsta..I told her that instagram pulls her profile up for people I know. I know I'm an old millennial because I don't get the appeal. Most of the finstas I follow are just things you would want to post to Twitter but can't because people follow you. Like...

There are great, advanced cheerleaders that really won't mind not having the pressure of not competing. They love cheerleading but they no longer want to spend hours running routines. Cheering at a d1 school or any college with a focus on athletics is electric. It's not like HS where no one is...
