Reading

This is maybe the most talked about hobby ever… but tell you what, it deserves all the praise it is getting (for hundreds of years, actually).

The thirst for knowledge can never be satisfied, and if you are someone who is satisfied with the limited experience he/she has, then you should know that intellect has an appeal of its own. Besides, the more you read, the more you start to understand the world and get a creative imagination. This increased general knowledge and impromptu understanding will be helpful in scoring jobs and promotions for you later in life. From hydroponics to pythagoras theorem – there are endless things to read about.

Music

Music is quick. It is fun, and there is a lot of it for you to explore. Check out a couple of old records from the 60s when modern music was given shape, check out the inspiration of later musicians, and make it a part of your life which is not just something you listen to when you’re travelling or partying.

Call it musical academia, except that there is no teacher involved (and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing). If you don’t want to spend out on lessons, hit youtube for some free tutorial.

Writing

Writing is an art form. You can do it for fun, for therapy, for others to read, to sell or to make something memorable. Once you get started it can become very difficult to remember a time when your first instinct after experiencing something wasn’t to just write it down. It is relatively cheap too.

Shopping

Have you ever heard of the retail therapy? The purpose of hobbies is to keep you occupied in all states of your mind, and this is why shopping can be excellent therapy for you. This is one that costs perhaps more than the others, but people who are avid shoppers have a natural sense of saving when they shop.

So, the next time somebody describes you as a shopping freak don’t forget to say thanks!
