Orienteering, a "sport" that requires navigational skills, is probably the least active thing you do in gym class, and it also does not require much mental ability. Normally, I wouldn't complain about something so easy, but orienteering is a waste of time. How hard is it to find your way by landmarking? And when the instructions on your paper are all wrong, you are probably lost, which doesn't put you in the happiest mood.
Due to the fact that orienteering is so easy, most people take it a little too easy. I have found that people just go to Tim Hortons and hang out with their friends instead of actually orienteering. In addition to that, what is up with the name "orienteering"? Could it sound any cornier? There is also absolutely no sense of accomplishment when you have completed an orienteering course. After you turned left on Main Street and counted how many horses there are on someone's front lawn, you begin to wonder why you are staring at someone's car and writing their license plate down. You turn to face the school. Congratulations, you just learned how to terrorize small children and be a stalker during school hours.
Nowadays, there is this helpful device called a GPS, as well as maps. It's funny though, because orienteering is actually a sport that is played competitively, even on the international level. Even recently there have been attempts to make orienteering an Olympic sport. In this extremely short article, let me make my opinion clear: orienteering is the worst sport ever.
