We'd roller skate around for hours and then the DJ ( who I am now filled with pity for) would proclaim that it was time for Couple's Skate. This DJanical proclamation would essentially clear the roller rink of all us libidoless third-graders. We'd sit on the sidelines eating red-rope licorice, playing Pac Man and waiting for Couple's Skate to end. Times sure have changed. These days, I won't go to the roller skate rink, because I want girls to like me. When I was in grade school, we went to the roller skate rink for our birthday parties.

It's simultaneously one of the easiest and hardest sports there is. You spend, like, 90% of the time doing nothing, then some dude throws a tiny ball that's moving at about 85mph+ at your head. You have to hit the ball with a stick. Then when you are done with that ordeal, you go back to standing around waiting for someone to hit something.

If you live a bustling metropolitan area, then you may enjoy a few hours of hiking through the untouched wilderness. It's a terrific way of interacting with nature while getting a bit of exercise. You should prepare for your hikes by wearing proper boots. And you'd better take care of those boots, so they protect your feet on future hikes. Hiking is downright fun.
