Well, I played soccer for about ten years until I broke my right foot about a year. I missed the time to apply for try-outs for my school and club teams, and tbh I wasn't even mad. My time off the field made me realize that I had such a hard time defining myself because I never had time to actually learn how to have friends and hobbies or how to properly interact with people at school because I was always busy with soccer (or homework). If you asked me about a year and a half ago to describe myself in word, I shit you not, I would have probably said "soccer."
So after realizing how much of my life I wasted away on a game that in the real world doesn't truly matter (unless you are an amazing professional or something) I decided to quit playing soccer altogether and start pursing more intellectual activities, like reading and researching things I was truly interested in (or playing video games, hehe).
My father was absolutely furious at me, saying how I was throwing my chances away of getting a scholarship to a college, and how that was my only talent. I just shrugged and ignored him, because my grades are surprisingly good (despite my habits of procrastinating), as well as my ACT and SAT scores and I want to go to UCF, which I live like 10 minutes away from and they accept about everyone from my high school, so I believe I'll be alright (hopefully).
For the past year, my workouts are usually to do a 1000 sit-ups a day (which isn't too hard if you split it into a few parts throughout the day and have relatively decent endurance) and running or biking around my neighborhood for about an hour. I also try to go swimming often, because it's fun as fuck and I have a pool. But my family thinks I'm a lazy bum who doesn't do shit because I don't tell them what I do most days and try to avoid them at all times.
Jesus... I went really off-topic on like 85% of this post. Whoops.
It's only off topic if you look for it to be that way. You still get more exercise than most people, and yet it's important not to exercise so much that you miss out on everything else in life. Colleges love well-rounded students (and not that kind of rounded, you know what I mean), so I'm sure you'll do fine.

I have to force myself to eat I just use protein powder, mixed with chicken and oatmeal.
You could even say your body is bangin?
That will work if you workout first and then eat so that all of the protein you ate goes to the muscles.
