about
Hi, I'm Emily. Call me Emily or Em, I prefer either. I have been a featured columnist 2 times now. After disabling my account I had about 3 years ago, a lot has happened which made me want to come back. I feel as though helping people with their problems, helps me solve mine, even if that doesn't make a lot of sense to any of you. Don't hesitate to ask me anything, I will answer fairly quickly depending on the question. If you want a hard-thought out answer, which is what I usually give, it may take a little longer- it benefits everyone in the long run.

Hi. I'm 15, female. I have been watching the Olympics since they started and it really got me thinking. These people are my age, well 1 or 2 years older, and here I am not motivated just sitting on my couch. I want to go out and do something with my life. I mean, I do things, like sledding when it snows, I make some of my own clothing but I feel like I'm in the house to much. I mean, I read about Shaun White, whom I now love, and he is outside all day everyday, his mom said she barely sees him because he is outside all the time doing something. I want to be like that but I don't know what to do. I can't skateboard, or roller skate, considering it's winter time but what should I do? I want to get motivated, go outside and find something I love so I can finally say "I do __ and that is my passion." So can you guys just name things to help me get motivated and things I can do outside for long periods of time getting active? I want to make my parents proud, I know I have a 1 in 10000 chance of making it to the Olympics but I want to be proud of myself going out and finding something I LOVE to do, something that I come home from school, do my homework and run outside to say I'll be doing for the rest of the night. Please don't give me the "You're only 15, you have a while to find something you love doing." because in reality, I don't. Please help and God Bless.
its very mature to realize that you need to fix the ways your used too. even though its winter, you can still do lots of things that you love to do.
first things first, find out about any clubs or sports being held at your school, they are really fun and you make a lot of new friends who you can hangout with when your feeling like your home alone on the couch again, dont be afraid to ask people to hangout, its a good time.
sign up for a gym membership, most gyms have indoor and outdoor pools to swim in, you could start swimming and be in the 2024 olympics if you really wanted (; if you dont think youll go a lot, just go a few times and pay as you go.
try an indoor sport. like me, i play indoor soccer and i love it. im not necessarily the best player, but i love it and every game i play, i get better and better. even if your not good at something, try it, you might like it and you might be good at it.
go jogging outside when it gets a little warmer, or just bundle up with lots of layers and go for runs, its a great stress reliever and makes you in much better shape to do anything you want.
(Rating: 5) Thank you, I was actually just looking into gyms I could join! This helped a lot, I will definately look into this kinda stuff.
