Stuck On The Bench: Injury Plans

Breaks, sprains, concussions, some of the many things that take an athlete out of their sport. When you’re on the mend, here are four things you can do do not be completely bored while you’re on the road to recovery.

  • Catch up on sleep: When you’re recovering, it takes a bit of a toll on your body, so you should do the most to get as much sleep as necessary in order to feel like you’re getting enough recovery in.
  • Catch up late work: We’re in school, whether it be middle school, high school, college, or have some sort of job alongside our sport. Having an injury may be a bad thing, but it also allows you to sit down and catch up on anything you’re behind with. This allows you to stay on top of your workload and not feel overwhelmed with everything going on.
  • Pick up a new hobby: Since you can’t do your sport, that leaves time for you to pick up a new interest to help take up that time slot. Maybe you liked to read a lot when you were younger, but now doing a sport takes up too much time and you don’t have time to read any more. Well, now this is a chance to get back into that, or writing, or a game you enjoyed…anything really.
  • Hang out with friends: So, maybe your sport is taking up time that you used to use to hang out with your friends. Well, being out may suck, but this could allow you to get people together, catch up, and maybe make a day (or night) of things. Invite a few people over, watch a movie, catch up. This is the perfect chance to rekindle older or slightly lacking friendships.

So there you have them, a few things you can when you’re put on the bench for your sport. These things, along with maybe hanging out with your friends that aren’t will help make your recover and time out a bit more bearable.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
