At my school if you take ROTC you're not required to take any P.E. classes whatsoever. Its just PT once a week on Thursdays, which is ten times easier than one day of PE class.
|
varsity for us is those people who actually play in intercollegiate games.
extracurricular is mostly activities outside of class (ie org activities, volunteer work) i hardly think that's PE at all haha |
wow
so poetic much repeat casual very definitions line skip where caps |
PE was a joke in my high school. All we did was pretty much play various sports.
PE at a the private high school in my town was much better, because it focused on improving things about yourself physically and getting into better shape. Though I guess if you want to be technical, sports can do that too, but I just don't like playing sports in a school setting. The only time I enjoy playing sports is with my friends where I don't feel performance anxiety. |
Exercise should be encouraged, not enforced. This is my stance and I will stick with it til the bitter end.
|
PE at my old high school was brutal. You know it's rigorous when there's a girl that lost 35 pounds in one trimester. O.o
|
I wish I went to your school.
I wish a few others went to your school as well. I wish I went to your school. I wish a few others went to your school as well. |
I hated PE so much when I was in high school. Having to run a mile 2-3 times a week is extremely painful. >_<

Well, if I lost any weight, I might just be blown away by a breeze or something.

Worked for me. Though I never had a beer belly or anything like that, and people said I needed to gain wait for as long as I can remember. Of course, the people who said that were often the ones that could stand in an isle in a store and it'd be a challenge to get around them. None the less, it does work regardless. |
Manual labor is a difficult thing to commit to because it's manual labor.

I always enjoyed PE lessons, not sure why you people hate them. (although I am younger compared to the others)
I'm so light and scrawny that sometimes even a breeze could blow me away. |
I just watched a video on water birth so it took me a few seconds to realise you weren't talking about birthing labor lol
|
Manual labor jobs are tedious and boring to me. I prefer something more mentally challenging for working.
I lost around 40 lbs the first few months I had my last manual labor job, however, so that was a plus. Then my calorie intake caught up with me (I had to adjust it so that I wasn't getting hungry 2 hours into my shift despite having eaten not even half an hour before the shift started -- with the labor I was doing it took quite a bit of additional food to reach that point) and I stayed a stable weight for the remainder of the year I had that job. I tended to ache all over at the end of the day while working that job, but I had virtually no muscle strength before that job. I did gain some perspective while working that, though. |

Perhaps it's humbling as it's your physical body that submits to the toil? You feel the strength and struggle somatically, and so it's an intimate, visceral character that you build.

But its also not that much toil. Sure, in the beginning it's hard to adjust, but I've worked where I work now for about a year and a half now and I can pretty much do every job in the warehouse without any difficulty or physical strain on me at all. Your body adapts. |
If you can't explain it, why did you say it? :P
Though I do that all the time, so I can't talk. |

I think all the entry level jobs and jobs that you would get in high school or a summer job to help pay the bills, or anything along those lines, teach a lot of valuable life lessons, but I only have experience in manual labor and retail. And after working in manual labor, my position in retail was a complete joke in terms of difficulty. The demands were different, but there were correlations between the two jobs that related to one another that I could draw similarities towards. Maybe it also had to do with my maturity at the time when I had the retail job compared to the maturity I had now, which is significantly different. But after working where I work, I hear people complain about their jobs in retail all the time and I just can't help but roll my eyes. |
I sold stuff for my first job. Was pretty proud of myself. Better than flipping burgers or working at Walmart, at any rate.
