I just graduated optometry school and I feel like I’ve lost a bit of my identity. I didn’t have much free time to focus on the things that make me happy and now I’m lacking inspiration. I can’t work until my license is approved so I’ve had days of doing nothing since May 7. It’s been great but it’s starting to get boring; I can only play so much Zelda and doom scroll so often.

So whatcha got? What do you like to do? What are some hobbies or passions everyone has? What are non-drinking related activities to do with a partner or friends?

    *Digital art

    *Write flash fiction

    *Read… a lot

    *Adventurous cooking

    *Compete in an amateur Starcraft league

    *Build molecules that I think are interesting in Jmol and optimize them in nwchem

      Adventurous cooking is such a good suggestion as a time killer.

      It can be done for now and later abandoned if you end lacking the time for it.

      Only effect that will have is you learned a bit of some important life skills.
