Spring sports are often overlooked, with most of the attention on sports like football and basketball; however, last year the girls tennis team won a state championship, the baseball team won a state championship, the girls soccer team made it to the final four, the boys soccer team made it to the state championship, the boys track and field team won region, the girls track and field team were state runner ups, and many individual events won state.

A team is a group of people linked with a common purpose, and this season there are many teams fighting to be significant competitors in the playoffs. Soccer, baseball, lacrosse, track, golf and tennis are all vital sports in the Wesleyan community. With such a small school, it is imperative that many students participate in all of the sports that they can for Wesleyan to be prosperous in athletics.

  1. They deal with real life issues: The Kardashians are one of the most relatable families in America. They constantly deal with issues that typical Americans face. When Kendall and Kylie steal from Kris’s closet, she does the logical thing and puts a padlock on it, while requiring them to check out clothes. Also, Scott Disick faces the typical decision of whether or not to put a helicopter pad in his backyard. All of these decisions are typically experienced be the average American.
  2. They have the most entertaining TV show:  If you have not watched Keeping Up with the Kardashians, then you must be living under a rock. This show provides the most entertaining look into the life of the most beloved family in American history. The constant bickering and complaining of the most mundane events is just pure entertainment. Who would not want to watch mindless entertainment for an hour?
  3. They are very frugal with their money: Kylie Jenner is 18-years-old and owns a mansion worth $2.7 million. I mean, every 18-year-old would spend that much on a house. Back in 2014, Scott and Kourtney purchased a house next to Justin Bieber for $8.495 million. Most parents spend that much money and consider it to be smart. The so-called gift bags at Kylie Jenner’s sweet 16 party cost $1,000 each, and there were over 150 guests there. Now that’s being frugal with your money.
  4. They constantly keep us entertained in headlines: Let’s face it America, the Kardashians are headline news about once a week. From their purchases, to Kylie and Tyga’s relationship, the Kardashians keep us entertained. Magazine companies who put them on the front page, owe a lot of their success to those stories. As of November of 2015, there is now a new app that allows you to block all news in which the Kardashians are mentioned. That’s when you know they dominate the news. The Kylie Jenner lip challenge, the $2 million Gatsby themed 60th birthday of Kris and the Khloe pie lie are all examples of headlines that keep readers hooked.
  5. All their relationships are models for our own: Kim Kardashian is a model for how people should have relationships. Her 72 day marriage to Kris Humphries should show the women of America how marriage works. Kourtney and Scott’s catastrophic relationship really sets the tone for the average American relationship. They show that you should constantly argue about the most absurd things.
