Reminiscing on Hobbies

Do you know what I miss? Writing.

When I was in high school I wrote a ton of stories based on my favorite shows. If you ask anyone, I am a hard core anime and fan fiction lover. Writing about them just make it so interesting to see how you could make fictional characters become so human. It's amazing what people can come up with when it comes to fanfiction, too.

I love being in college, don't get me wrong, but, sometimes, you don't have enough time in the world to do the things you want to do when you have to study for an exam and write that 10-page paper you put off until the last minute (on a side note: is it just me or does it seem like the work never ends?!) But papers, exams, and presentations are just the tip of the ice-berg of what usually takes up a college student's time. You also have to take into account of club activities and on or off-campus jobs. 

But writing is not the only thing that I miss. I also miss the time that I had in high school to read for fun. Having to read articles and textbooks for class, I feel like there is just not enough time in the world to read that new york times bestsellers novel because you have to read 100 pages by the next day. Not to mention that I am a Psych major with a History minor, so all of my classes are reading intensive. It's interesting work, but sometimes I just want to read about someone being able to throw fireballs from their hands and saving the world in the end. Is that so wrong?!

Either way, my goal is to try to get back to my writing and reading. I loved it when I would get lost in my fictional world and just pretend that I was an awesome, kick-ass, superhero.
