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.

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
