5 Sports for People Who Hate Sports

Joining a sport is extremely beneficial during your high school and college years: It can help you make friends, become more active, and spend more time outside. But there is a majority of people out there who despise most sports, but still want to be able to play at least one. These sports are for the lazier ones, who don't particularly want to run, play with a team, or do a 'normal' sport, but still want to be able to form new bonds and create a healthier lifestyle.

1. Badminton

Badminton has been a favorite of British royalty for decades, and it's easy to see why. Even though while professionally played, players jump all around the court, casual games require little to no effort, and it's an easy game to get a hang of.

2. Fencing

Fencing is a sport that is perfect for those who want to step out of the status quo. Fencing has been around for a long time, and though it isn't the most popular sport in the world, that doesn't mean it's not fun. It doesn't require running around, just a bit of shuffling, and of course a lot of concentration.

3. Table Tennis

Table tennis is a sport that many often make fun of in the Olympics, which is why it is the perfect sport for lazier people. Many people play ping pong for recreation, so it really is an easy sport to get a hang of. Plus, minimal movement is always a benefit.

4. Archery

Archery, like table tennis, also requires little to no movement! To shoot an arrow, one only has to pull back the bow, and realize! Simple! However, it does take a while to get the knack of shooting, and aiming might be difficult, but with a bit of practice, archery can become easy.

5. Golf

Golf is definitely not an easy sport, concentration, strength, and accuracy are all keys to be successful. But it is great for individuals who hate working with a team, as the only person who you have to depend on is yourself. Though be warned, it does contain a lot of walking.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
