Did you know that there are fifty-seven sports that make up the Olympics, with forty-two in the summer and fifteen in the winter? I'll admit that fifty-seven seems like a HUGE number, but why stop there? Let's add more!

1. Kickball

Soccer is an Olympic sport, and baseball will be re-added to the list in the Summer 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Soccer + baseball = kickball.

2. Air hockey

Hockey is hard enough on its own, but the addition of air make this classic sport all the more challenging!

3. Foosball

Soccer is the world's most beloved sport, so it only make sense that its table-top cousin should be thrown into the Olympics as well.

4. Sport Stacking (AKA Cup Stacking)

Sure, stacking cups seems like a simple enough concept, but Sport Stacking takes some serious skill! There's even an international association for this fast and furious sport!

5. Frisbee golf

It's frisbee! It's golf! It's frisbee golf! It's frisbee golf! Need I say more?

6. Climbing trees

It takes some mad agility and upper body strength to do some serious tree climbing. Combine that with the fact that trees are found on every continent EXCEPT Antarctica, it would make an easily accessible sport!

7. Freeze tag

We've spent our whole childhood training to be the very best in freeze tag. We deserve the right to compete for a medal.

8. Scooter racing

Agility, coordination, balance, and the drive to be number one are not only the qualities of scooter racing, but also the qualities of a fine Olympic sport.

9. Dodgeball

Dodgeball is a sport which requires skill, strategy, and team cooperation, which in turn make it worthy of the Olympics.

10. Giving a cat a bath

From bobsledding to snowboarding, giving a cat a bath will fit right in under "Extreme/Dangerous Sports".

11. Laser tag

Have I ever played laser tag? No. Do I think it would be AWESOME to watch on TV various countries playing the ultimate game of tag among each other? Yes!!!

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.

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.
