11 Things About Having An Athlete Friend As Told By Leslie Knope
Her Campus

We all have that one friend who's been blessed (or so it seems at first) to become a member of a team to represent their school. Initially, we think that this is nothing different than what we were used to in high school, but that is not the case. Little did we know that when our beloved friends decided to sign with their school they were signing away their social life as well. Like having the Ann Perkins of our life move away, here's to all the Leslie Knopes out there that know the familiar feeling of having a once close friend not so close anymore.



1. Accepting the fact that they can't constantly talk to you.


2. In fact, they might not talk to you for days or borderline weeks.


3. When you finally do have time to catch up it's like making up for years worth of lost time.


4. Making plans with them is next to impossible during practice season.


5. Half of the time they're in other states with their team.


6. Even when they're on break they're not "on break".


7. Being able to physically see them is rare.



8. When you do get to see them you spend most of the time vegging out because they're exhausted from practice.


9. Having to say goodbye is more difficult each time.


10. You're never sure when you'll see them next but you'll still have each other's back.


11. Despite how often you both see each other you'll always be there to support them at the end of the day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
