10 Inner Thoughts Of An Athlete
hoopdoctors.com

It doesn't matter what sport you play -- many athletes have the same thought process from day to day. Maybe you can't stop thinking about how great your bed is going to feel after a long day of hard work, or all the food you're going to eat after practice. Whatever it is you're thinking, you're not the only one.

1. Sweatpants are a wonderful thing.

When you're not in uniform, you're in sweats.

2. Maybe coach will cancel practice today.

Yeah, probably not. But somewhere deep down you believe a tiny miracle could happen.

3. I wonder how many calories I'm burning.

All of this hard work has to be doing something... right?

4. When will I have time to nap later?

As an athlete, naps become your best friend. Whether it's for five minutes or a half hour, napping at every opportunity is a must.

5. How am I hungry? I just ate.

We don't see it as our bodies burning hundreds and hundreds of calories a day -- we just see it as being constantly hungry.

6. That bruise is new.

Oh wait, and so is that one. You never know how you got them, but they're always there.

7. Is this clean?

Who knows? If it smells clean, then it is.

8. I hope coach is in a good mood today.

Everyone knows that coach's mood dictates how the day is going to go, and usually how much you'll run during practice.

9. Why am I so tired?

We ask ourselves this question as if we don't know the answer. Between five classes a day and two practices, it's surprising that we're even able to function on a daily basis.

10. I love my team.

Yes, they drive you absolutely crazy at times, but it's the best second family you'll ever have.

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.
