Whenever one walks into a new classroom, introductions are soon to follow. The question usually pops up, “what are your hobbies?” or “what do you do after school?” I got that question a lot. I’ve always gotten that question, it’s pretty standard. But even though I have so much experience with it, and can predict when the question will occur, I have no idea what to say. Ever.
I always struggle in the moment and say reading, or traveling. But I really don’t know. I guess reading is definitely a hobby, but when you’re doing an English Master’s, reading is sort of a given. If you don’t like to read, and doing a Literature degree, then it’s sort of confusing.
But I never know what to say. What are my other hobbies? In my free time I’ve been watching shows, writing these blog posts, watching youtube videos. Nothing fancy, I don’t go to the theater or the cinema a lot. I lead a pretty normal, boring?, life.
Even after thinking about this, I still don’t know what my hobbies are.
Maybe walking outside if I can.
