Pay it Forward
I’d been scrolling through Instagram for the better part of the morning. My acquaintances from high school really seemed to be thriving. I would be too if I had what they had. Yes, @maryanntiller had founded a wildly successful nonprofit. But her dad gave her the first contribution and I heard it was like a million dollars. Yes, @rip_baby had a massive, sun-drenched studio where she made interesting, beautiful art that she sold for thousands. But I know for a fact that her parents fully bought her an apartment when she first moved to New York. Yes, @abidoesfitness was a beautiful yoga instructor and fitness influencer. But I’m almost one hundred percent sure that her mom paid for her to get butt implants as soon as we graduated. Life’s easy with money. It’s easy to be generous and hot and creative when you don’t have to work for a living. Unfortunately, that was simply not the situation I found myself in. I worked for everything I had and I helped others when I could. But I just didn’t have enough money to live the lives these people were living.

Should’ve Stayed Dead
The promise of infinity had felt almost inevitable as the sunrises and sunsets seemed to keep rolling on, but Blue still remembers the exact moment, down to the second in which that hope had been shattered. That promise looked like a crime scene now, tied up and choked by caution tape. “Do not cross”, sprawled out in bold, black letters isn’t enough to keep her out, and with every free moment she gets, Blue spends them at the graveyard.

Cricket
This challenge is about common or uncommon knowledge about something you like, dislike or just random fun fact you have stuck in your head. Well I have absolutely no knowledge of Cricket at all and only a minor curiosity about the subject, so you are no doubt wondering "Why?"

If You Love ESPN's 30 FOR 30 Series, OVER THE LIMIT Is For You
“Mental toughness” is one of those sports cliches constantly recycled by basketball analysts, football coaches, on down to Little League parents. It is a cliché attached to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls teams he led to six championships in the 90s. The Last Dance, without a doubt, illustrated the perseverance required by all the members of the Bulls team as they faced on and off the court challenges. Now imagine taking on that mental toughness in an individual sport without teammates backing you. The documentary Over the Limit moves beyond sports cliche territory and demonstrates that the mental toughness of the practitioners of rhythmic gymnastics — a sport that demands a high degree of physical exertion while maintaining elegant form — is unparalleled. Polish director Marta Prus (Hot and Cold) invites the viewer to be a fly on the wall as she takes us inside Russia’s national rhythmic gymnastics team. Prus’s camera follows gymnast Margarita Mamun as she runs through a gauntlet of pre-Olympic training sessions, competitions, and tongue-lashings from her coaches.
