15 Times Parks And Rec Understood Non-Athletic People

Does watching ESPN count as exercise?

Are you ever eating brunch at a sidewalk café and you see people jog or bike pass you? By the way, that brunch consists of a cheesy omelet, crispy bacon, fruit and pancakes with extra butter. Man, good for them because God knows I don’t do physical activity and would not choose to. Just watching or hearing a sports game or marathon telecast makes me exhausted to be honest. Heck, the most movement I make is walking to class, and even then I’m out of breath. It’s not that I don’t want to maintain a healthy weight or lower risks for many diseases, but that I simply don’t enjoy it enough to stay motivated. These are just a few moments that I can definitely relate to being a not-so-active person.

Let me know if you can relate!

1. You don't necessarily make the best food decisions.

2. Friends and family try to get you to eat something that's not just sugar and processed flavors.

3. But you still stick to your saturated trans fats.

4. Your athletic friends go on about living a healthy lifestyle and how it'll increase your lifespan blah, blah, blah.

5. That's when your loved ones guilt you into making a change.

6. At least the outfits are cute cuz I look good.

7. Forcing yourself to eat what is called a pre-workout snack.

8. First stop, cardio.

9. Second stop, strength.

10. When you see a cross-fit class going on and wonder what in God's name is happening.

11. When it's only been an hour of working out.

12. Leaving the gym knowing you won't be back, at least for a while.

13. Post-workout soreness.

14. Then your friends ask if you signed up for a gym membership.


15. "Are you at least gonna eat healthier?" #sorrynotsorry

Oh well, you tried. Maybe next week. Let’s be realistic, maybe next year.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
