this is a personal blog full of gymnastics, music, literature, foreign languages, too many fandoms to keep track of (ex: doctor who, game of thrones, sailor moon, buffy the vampire slayer, korra, hunger games, harry potter, etc.) but yeah, mostly gymnastics.

Stay Humble, Stay Hungry, Stay Stypinski:

When Rachel Stypinski was 3 years old, she would jump from couch to couch in her family room in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania.

Rachel Stypinski is amazing.

Even if you aren’t a fan of her or NCAA, it’s worth the read for any gymnastics fan. She overcame a lot to accomplish what she did.
