For as long as I can remember, I have always been a part of a sports team. From bowling to track and field, my whole life has revolved around athletics. Besides two years of track and field in college, high school was the last time I got to be apart of different teams. Every day, from morning till night, everything revolved around sports. Being in college, and no longer a member of a team, it all feels so different. I can't help but think that I am missing out on so much.
Here is a list of some of the things I miss most about being on a team.
1. The Friendships

Nothing beats the friendships and bonds you make with your teammates. They are the ones you see day in and day out. Sometimes you may get sick of them, but you know that they will always have your back no matter what.
2. The Competition

Having a competitive drive and a way to release that energy in a match or a game is something that never got old.
3. Tournaments

IT'S TOURNEY TIME! Pre-season tournaments or playoffs. Spending whole weekends with the team always made for the best memories.
4. Pasta Parties

Let's be honest with ourselves, pasta parties are the biggest reason for pre-game hype.
5. Car Washes

Yes, the yearly car wash fundraiser was the most dreaded event of the season, but we always made the most fun out of them.
6. Game Day Dress Up Themes

Dressing like guys or wearing superhero clothes to school, we always looked ridiculous.
7. The Final Game, Senior Night

Whether it is your own, or your teammates, Senior Night is the most bittersweet end to a lifelong era. We say goodbye and goodluck to our Seniors who are on there way to college. Tears and smiles, Senior Night will always be the infamous night for high school athletes.
