Hannah Wells Eats Ladybugs, And This Is Why She Might Be a Genius

Alright, you guys, gather 'round because I just heard something that absolutely blew my mind. We're talking about superstitions, right? Athletes are wild. We've all seen the same socks, the pre-game meals, the exact bus seat, all that jazz for good luck. Athletes train their entire lives, right? Early mornings, late nights, constant grind to be the best. Then they turn around and think lucky socks are gonna win the game. But Hannah Wells on the Texas softball team? She just took the cake, baked it, and then ate the ladybugs off it. Seriously, if you see her on the field, she’s popping those bad boys like candy. My jaw is still on the floor, and you need to hear about this.

Forget Lucky Socks, This Is Next-Level Superstition

You've heard of people thinking ladybugs are good luck, or maybe they represent someone who passed visiting from the afterlife, like your grandma coming back. That's a classic. Hannah Wells? She's got a slightly less sentimental approach to these little red critters. We're talking about a freshman in college here, who, upon spotting a ladybug, *eats it*. Not just once, either, this is a whole tradition for her. Think about that for a second. If those ladybugs *are* your grandma, Hannah is literally eating her for good luck. What a move, man. It just raises so many questions, like how many other bugs is this person consuming on a regular basis? Ladybug feels like it's gotta be at least the fourth or fifth type of bug you try, right?

If It Works, It Works, Right?

The biggest question has to be: what the heck happened the first time she ate a ladybug? Something absolutely ridiculous must've gone down for her to attribute it to that specific, shall we say, *snack*, and then commit to it for life. This is the kind of wild stuff you’d think someone would grow out of by like, 12 years old. But hey, if it works? That’s exactly how you keep chowing down on ladybugs all the way into your freshman year of college, on the Texas softball team no less. It’s a completely wild move, no doubt about it. But you know what? If that’s what it takes to be great, then that’s what it takes. Think about it: you know who isn’t playing softball at the University of Texas right now? A bunch of girls who aren’t willing to eat a ladybug if they see one on a tree. That’s commitment, folks. Pure, unadulterated dedication to the craft, no matter how bug-filled it gets. You gotta respect the hustle, even if it makes your stomach turn.
