CAL GREATS: Helen Wills
Helen Wills was one of the greatest female athletes of the late 1920s and 30s, and is still today considered one of the greatest women’s tennis players of all time. A Cal alum, Queen Helen was an indomitable Wimbledon and Olympic champion who won 31 Grand Slam titles and from 1927-1933 won 180 consecutive matches. Her poise on the court nicknamed her “Little Miss Poker Face,” her white visor inspired an immediate trend, and her beauty won her the admiration of many, including Charlie Chaplin.
Wills’ success was largely independent of the university, as there were no formal programs for women to participate at the college level then, and as an amateur athlete she never won a purse for her many conquests. Nevertheless, she broke down barriers for women in sports, proving that women could indeed participate in strenuous athletic activities. #titleix50

    OCD does not equal having an eye for perfection or having a specific routine. being a perfectionist doesnt mean you have OCD. i dont know if you have a diagnosis or not, but the stereotype that people that have OCD are perfectionists is just kinda rude.

    I thought I saw a comment saying this but couldn’t find it. Could you PLEASE figure out the code sequence for the vaccine, then reverse it and fix us??? I’m in California. I’ll be knocking on your door soon. I was 49 when I took it. I’m 51 now. I had heart pain, dizziness, almost passing out and no more periods. Please fix us.

    It is so nice that athletes get this kind of exposure. In my day, we toiled in total obscurity, where no one except us athletes and the coaches had the remotest clue of the effort that went into being an elite athlete. If we had had this kind of public exposure, I think the support would have been so much greater. Well done!!!

    I'm an insect nerd(especially into beetles) in Turkey and i really want to be an entomologist. I know the importance of insects in our environment and love everything about them. I love finding, collecting and identifying insects all summer long. Unfortunately, entomology basically doesn't exist here in Turkey and its just an extension of pest control jobs, while being very hard and expensive to get into. People look at me weird when i tell them i'm interested in insects. My family wants me to keep it as a hobby while i actually want to do it professionally. Sorry, i just came here to vent. I wish i was born in a different environment, where i could pursue my dreams, where my choices mattered. People, don't let bad situations stop you from pursuing your dreams. Don't be like me, unable to do anything, trapped in your room for hours to study. Make very good use of the opportunities given to you, and before life can trap you in its jaws like an antlion, run out of the hole and be free.
