Look who's a college athlete

It's pretty crazy to think of how sports in my life have gone to this point. For about eight years ago. i dedicated myself to basketball and pretty much nothing else. This went until about my junior year of high school when I planned on playing basketball and college. I gotta say, thank god I'm not doing that. That would be miserable.

So around my junior year, I pretty much decided that I was bored with basketball, and that I just didn't have much interest in it anymore. keep in mind, at the time, I still maintained a spot as a captain on the varsity team (Yes, this is to silence anybody who immediately thinks that I got tired of basketball because I was the white kid who sucked). I wasn't anyone to fuck with on the court. I definitely held my own. I sometimes even began to have fun during the games. But, and I don't mean to sound like a jackass, at the end of the day, I was just so over going to practice with a bunch of kids who had very ambitious goals in basketball, while I became the one that, even though I earned playing time and put up my fair share of numbers on the court, just didn't give a shit our season and where my illustrious basketball career took me.

My senior year it got even worse. I'm pretty sure that I'm the only player in the history of my high school to hold a spot as a captain and not be a captain senior year. Yes, I'm proud of it. At this point, I had already taken up theater because of how jealous I was of the fun that my theater friends looked like they were having when they did it. At this point, even my mom gave me her blessing to skip practices and at this point I just wanted everything to be over.

Again, thank god that's all over, and now I'm in college. But, surprise! I'm a college athlete. Turns out tall kids make good rowers. So I'm doing that now and it's wonderful. After all, I get to go on the lake for the sunset every evening and row a boat. I can't complain about that too much. The strange part about it, is that I started doing it as a method of staying shape during college, to cancel out all of the beer and cheesy poofs. Now, I can't wait for racing season because I wanna win. Feels strange. But whatever, I'm glad I'm doing it. I'm in a renaissance of my athletic career. And I'm sure as hell glad that I'm not playing basketball. All of the guys on the basketball team look like douche bags.
