@LexIris

I really love spoke word poetry, writing it, competing and performing. It's been 2 years since I competed. I love reading as well. And experimenting with cooking new foods.

I'm probably one to ditch a hobby if I don't connect with it. But I try to give it a fair chance. Like I really wanted to play the keyboard but after 2 months I literally only know the happy birthday song and twinkle twinkle little star lol.

@LexIris

What are your favourite hobbies and what do you typically do for fun? I like to sew, but I have been so close to a nervous breakdown that for the last couple days I didnt do anything much at all. Ive been trying to relax and just stay in bed.

Bonus question: Are you the type of person to start new hobbies and ditch them after a month or so? (I know I am xD) I used to be but it was because I think I tried to do things I wasnt really interested in.

1 reply
bestVase7265 July 19th, 2020

Relaxing and staying in bed is fine sometimes. I love the sewing too. Sometimes forcing yourself to do an old favorite for 15 minutes a day can start to relax you.@purpleTree4652

Hydrangea03 July 18th, 2020

Hey everyone!

I like reading the most :) I usually like to read novels (genres dont matter - as long as its promising, Im giving it a go!), but I also read history and science articles! History and science are two of my biggest interests, so I love reading about them all the time!

I also like to write! Im more of a fanfiction writer, but I also write a lot of original short stories and poems to publish on my website~ Sadly, nowadays, Im having a hard time writing because of writers block, plus Ive been too busy :(

Another one is studying. It might sound unconventional, but to me, practicing questions and reading textbooks can be very therapeutic when Im doing them at my own pace and not under pressure!

Okay, one more - this is more of a hobby that I do only when I feel like it, but I like to take a bunch of personality quizzes :p

As for the bonus question: Im not sure! I dont really pick up new hobbies that easily xD

Thanks for the icebreakers!!! Take care~

Circe is the summer common reading at our college. Madeline Miller is going to speak virtually with new students about the book in September and will hopefully come to campus next spring. It should be great.@Hydrangea03

My favourite hobbies are shopping, travelling and reading books.

I don't think I ditch my hobbies because these 3 seem to be my hobbies since long.

What are your favourite hobbies and what do you typically do for fun?

I love to read, sing, dance, make bracelets, write stories (even if they end up being crap 😅.), and listen to music.

Bonus question: Are you the type of person to start new hobbies and ditch them after a month or so?

Well I have a couple of long term hobbies like reading, dancing, singing, listening to music (I really like music ok!) Everything else is more of something passing by. I can't stick to something for you long. Ima lazy chick 😆.

What are your favourite hobbies and what do you typically do for fun?

my favourite hobbies would probably include like art and going outside and walking-im trying to get back into reading and love to swim (although i currently don't have a pool or somewhere to swim lol)

for fun i usually go on a hike and explore with my friend (it gets me ouside and moving and also ends up being a social interaction too) :)

Bonus question: Are you the type of person to start new hobbies and ditch them after a month or so?

BunnyBooUwU July 19th, 2020

@LexIris

My favorite hobbies mostly have to do with climbing things, rolling around and wrestling with my brother, and art stuff. I have a really big imagination, so I usually write mini books off of that. I also like to draw anime characters and animals, like tigers and cats.

Also, I ditch stuff all time, because it's usually because it's not something I really like, or I just don't like being around people.
