I'm a girl, what hobbies can I take up ?

Hi,

I've slowly come to the realisation that I do not have any hobbies at all,
I have never played or sport or anything like that either. my life pretty much revolves around, university work, going on nights out, boys, my friends, reality tv, clothes and makeup and my blackberry I wish I could say that wasn't it, but it really is. I am intelligent person (got 4 A's in my A-levels) so it's not like I'm dumb.

I have realised the reason why I am easily 'bored' or 'annoyed' and always have 'boy trouble' is because I don't have much else going for me or that I worry about other than the things mentioned above, my life is very shallow, very.

I was speaking to my mum about this and she has also noticed that my life resolves around these things, she said I need to find a 'passion' or 'hobby' or project to involve myself in or possibly volunteer somewhere so I can see more things in life and stop living this boring existance.

What would you recommend ?

Rowing? Failing that, there's always picking up strangers in parks.

What about art? If I had more time I would draw and paint a lot. I also would love to do textiles or something as I used to like that at school but never did much else with that.
Or maybe a musical instrument?
I tend to enjoy creative things as I don't really like sport so maybe you could try something creative? :smile:

Reading, Art, playing an instrument, martial arts, volunteering for NGOs etc.
The possibilities are endless :wink:
There's also more "practical" things like cooking and baking; they're fun and you get bonus points when you can give freshly baked goodies to your friends/family!
Btw, makeup is a hobby too, I guess; if you enjoy putting it on and learning how to do it, rather than doing it solely for looks.
Also, public speaking and debating is an interesting hobby :holmes:

Volunteering
Gym - Exercise classes - Yoga
Get a copy of the night classes that are being ran near you, is there a cookery or holistic therapy course etc?

To be honest your life sounds exactly like mine, but I love it. However I also play football, have a season ticket to watch my team and enjoy video consoles...so I don't tend to have much boy trouble!

I like going to the cinema and stuff too, but other than that I don't have a huge passion for anything really, even my degree! I like to lead a relaxed (lazy) lifestyle so I'm not fussed. I find having a job is good though to fill that time you might otherwise spend doing hobbies, by earning money to buy our shallow things :biggrin:
