Every now and then we all are guilty of taking a trip down memory lane, or simply back-stalking yourself on Facebook. For me, the biggest thing I miss about high school is the sports. Everyone has their memories from high school sports; the Friday nights spent at the Varsity Basketball games, that one time you skipped an ACT to watch your baseball team at states (guilty), or from the team dinners where you and your teammates all chose to squish into one table. 

30 Things We Miss About High School Sports:

1. The anticipation of a new season coming. 

2. Team Dinners. 

3. Not realizing you work out every day. 

4. Being in the best shape.

5. ..because someone's forcing you to work out.

6. Playing with all your best friends. 

7. When all your friends show up to your games. 

8. All your teachers knowing your stats. 

9. And not being so hard on you for not getting all your work done (you're in season okay!??!?!)

10. That one song on your iPod that always got you in the right mindset to play.

11. How sore you'd get during preseason.

12. Waking up early and running two miles (I doubt anyone does this anymore).

13. Dressing up for game day. 

14. For girls: Psyche Shirts

15. Being as exclusive as you want with your team. 

16. Having people know your jersey number. 

17. All the gear you get at the beginning and end of the season. 

18. Winning.

19. Being in the newspaper. 

20. Going to all your friend's games. 

21. Making ridiculous posters and cheers during the games. 

22. Playing against your rival school.

23. Going to your friends' games against your rival school.

24. Knowing that kids from other schools know your stats. 

25. Playing with the same kids for many, many years. 

26. Making a great play.

27. Seeing your family proudly sitting in the stands. 

28. Wearing your significant others team sweatshirt/jersey. 

29. Feeling a sense of community.

30. Being on a team.

Let's face it, there really isn't anything better than high school sports. And although we'll never be able to fully participate in them again, we'll always have them to look back on.
