So, I am fifteen, female. I live in the smallest town of Pennsylvania. This place has nothing to do, literally, no bowling alleys, no skate parks or roller rinks, nothing at all. Seeming as I can not drive yet, I am alllllllllllways bored. I can't take it anymore. Seeing the people on the Olympics and how dedicated and passionate they are for what they do is making me want to get out there and do things. So basically, all I want to know are things I can go do outside that can keep me occupied for long periods of time, I can't go anywhere because, again, I don't drive. I just want to be able to go out and say "I am so passionate about __" but I don't know what that is yet. So just name some things I can do outside that I can do for a while. Thanks a bunch!

Go to your community center and look at the classes they have. Maybe cooking, acting, sewing?
Volunteering is really fun and it looks good for college.
You could look up recipies and make them with your friends
Make a Youtube account and then post videos of you and your friends just having fun.
Make a movie with you and your friends.
Write a book.
Make a list of the best books to read and post them on a website.
MAKE A WEBSITE!
There are a lot of things to do. Olympics focuses on sports but if you havn't been doing sports since you were born you may want to look into something else, like what i suggested!

A great sport that you could train yourself to do easily is cross country running. All you need is a good pair of running shoes and workout clothes. Since I'm assuming you live in a somewhatly rural area, cross country gives you plenty of opportunities to run out on roads that are not used too often. You'll be outdoors, you'll be getting fit, and it has many benefits. You can also train yourself up to be a great runner. You can start out small, like a mile or so, and work for weekly goals for yourself. Cross country races in high school are 5k races (3.1 miles) and you could even try and reach the goal of running half marathons or marathons. I hope this helps.
