“There’s
no way all those ridiculous facts about Chuck Norris could be true, they’re so
far-fetched,” said no one ever. Everyone wants to be like Chuck, in every way. And
while that’s so highly impossible that it’s completely laughable, there’s
something we can all take away from this. It’s like when people say aim for the
stars and hit the moon; we should have our aspirations of mimicking Chuck, and
hopefully learn something that we can apply to our own lives. Me? I just need
to apply more tanning oil. These guns could use some color.
Chuck Norris Was
Never Aware of the Filming of Walker,
Texas Ranger
He
had no idea that his daily life was being watched by millions of adoring fans
who followed his every move. Rather than caring about what others thought about
him, he continued to be an awesome, hyper-masculine human being. But people
judge. That’s just human nature. You know there’s that nerdy club with all the
engineers, the muscle-bound frat boys, and the weird music school Acapella
groups. While these stereotypes aren’t always true, some people get caught up
in how they think others will view them. Forget that, do what you want. Study
what you want, and be happy.
When Chuck
Norris Left for College, He Told His Dad, “You’re the Man of the House Now”
Sometimes
you have to leave your home or your comfort zone in order to discover new
interests. You may not know anyone in the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, but that shouldn’t stop you from joining in order to partake in the
many design competitions and projects. And this applies to any activity or
group! You don’t have to be super smart or a science genius to join the
robotics club. Some of us are cut out for math, and some aren’t. I found out at
a very young age, when a teacher asked me, “If you had 10 lollipops and I took
half away, what would I have?” A broken arm.
When Chuck
Norris Gets Bored, He Tells Himself Jokes He’s Never Heard Before
Don’t
just sit around and twiddle your thumbs if you find that you have some down
time once in a while. Never sit still. Either start your work early so that you
are ahead, or find some other activities to do. Find an on campus job! Join an
organization! Make some angel hair pasta! Go to the gym! Being like Chuck will
take some work. I mean, Chuck Norris has muscles in places where I don’t even
have places.
When Life Hands
Chuck Norris Lemons, He Makes Grape Juice
I
have no idea why the “When life hands you lemons…” saying even exists. How does
that signify taking a negative situation and turning it into a positive one?
Lemons are PERFECT for making lemonade! When life hands you lemons, you say
THANK YOU. But in any case, when life hands you something you don’t want, you
can still make the best of it. If you get stuck with an 8AM class that you have
to take, so be it. Schedule your other classes earlier in the day so that you’re
finished sooner. If the sorority you wanted to join didn’t give you a bid, so
be it. Kill them. Cry about it. Drown your sorrows. Knit. Rush another
sorority! Maybe that one wasn’t the right one for you anyway.
When Chuck
Norris Was Born, the Doctor Said, “Congratulations, it’s a MAN”
Be
confident in yourself! This applies mainly to interviewing situations. Everyone
gets nervous to some degree, but remember: the interviewers want to talk to you
for a reason, so there is something they like about you. You have some skill
set or some strength that drew them to you, so just be yourself.
