Today was one of those rare days at practice where it was so challenging, and I pushed myself so hard, that I was on the verge of throwing up and crying. I usually always push myself well and make it through okay, but today my arms, legs and whole body and mind where so beyond tired, sore, and ached that every little movement hurt. Especially doing fly for a long set.
I need rest.
I just found my dream college.
It has a journalism program and an amazing swim team.
I’m actually about to burst out crying because I want to go there so damn bad.
Alright it’s really frikin annoying when you get stuck doing a group slideshow and no one sends you their crap. Sorry if you like to do everything last minute before school the next day, but I actually want to get this done so I can relax the rest of the day.

My heart drops knowing someone I love just got their heart broken.
They called me a silly child young and in love, with my curls undone and a smitten face on. Said I’d been set under a spell…But I refused to believe what they said.

It's really annoying when..
people nag me about washing my hair everyday. Yes, I am aware that it is better to go days without washing your hair. But for the record, my hair gets drenched in chlorine every day followed by sweat covering every gland during dryland. Therefor, my hair gets greasy and unrepresentable every single day. Second of all, I’m not going to keep chlorine in my hair when I can get it out because if...
Valentines day.
Speaking for myself, I love this holiday. People are sometimes against it saying we should celebrate love every day an do special things for eachother on the basis. But, I think that’s completely unrealistic unless you live in lala land and have all the time in the world to go out and but a dozen roses for your significant lover every day. Also, I really really love seeing love. I love...

All I want to do is swim. And never stop.
Holy moly I had no idea I got a 30 on my 50 fly in the relay…crazy.
On another note..
I’m surprised I don’t lose followers with the amount of random swimming posts I post every day.
Ups & downs
I didn’t get best times today in my two events. As disappointing as that is in the moment, I know I swam the same two events three times this weekend and swam my heart out every damn time. I got best times in both events this weekend at some point, so maybe I shouldn’t be so upset. I’m just the type of person who will never be satisfied gaining time or not improving.But,...

I’m eighth in the district for the 100 butterfly. I got a best time by just around 10 milliseconds. As far as the 50 free, I swam in the “B” final and added 1 millisecond. I definitely didn’t tear myself up about that, because I know that’s not a big deal at all. Overall, it was a disappointing but amazing meet at different points. I was crushed about adding time in...

I’m typically never this nervous hours before. I’m practically shaking. I’m so scared of what will happen in finals.

Tomorrow I will win my heat, improve my time and make it to finals.
Hard work will pay off.
See you tomorrow, districts.
I find it really ignorant and rude of people to say that curvy woman are beautiful and ‘sticks’ and being ‘skinny’ isn’t nearly as beautiful. I’m not saying being anorexic or 90 pounds is cute or healthy, but I just think that the media puts out these images of perfect, skinny woman and people immediately fight back and say that curvy woman are more beautiful....
