secret third thing

I truly believe that hobbies/interests are the only way to stay sane while in college, so here are some of my favorites! To be honest, I'm constantly stuck in a cycle between hyperfixation and abandonment... I miss being unemployed 💔💔

💥 MODULAR ORIGAMI💥

pros: can be done while watching TV, very pretty, kinda meditative

cons: takes forever, it's lowkey a struggle to put together... requires some commitment

🤓 READING 🤓 

pros: anti-brainrot, learning about the world and empathy, and whatnot

cons: requires mental clarity and focus that I often lack

here are my top 5 books, call me basic but they're popular for a reason...

 😍 FOOD 😍

pros: #needthat

cons: can be expensive :(

yeahhh some might say this isn't a hobby but food brings joy and if you disagree then you need to try some korean food!😛😛😛

here are my recommended korean foods that aren't just kbbq or bibimibap (source: korean person) 

1. 순두부 치개, soondooboo: (soft tofu soup, most popular chain in the US is BCD Tofu House)
2. 부대찌개, budae-jjigae (army stew, comfort food)
3. 떡볶이, tteokbokki (hot and spicy rice cakes)
4. 물냉면,  naengmyeon (cold noodles in chilled broth, super refreshing)
5. 짜장면, jjajangmyeon (noodles with blackbean sauce)

🎞 WATCHING MOVIES 🎞

pros: ideal for someone with no energy, usually free, can change your life

cons: can send you down a spiral

follow me on letterboxd! here are some of my top movies

 

 🏖 COLLECTING SEAGLASS  🏖

pros: free, you're at the beach, can be used for jewelery/gifts

cons: you're at the beach (sand), back pain

🎨 PLEIN AIR aka outdoor PAINTING* 🎨

pros: touching grass, very mindful #inthemoment

cons: takes forever, can be frustrating, cringe?
