Hobby Hunting

Keeping busy can be surprisingly difficult. After a pandemic, it seems like you have done everything you can think of. Yet, finding a hobby is endless. Hobbies can lead to learning more about yourself and become more productive in life. 

Watch this informative video on finding a productive hobby, HOW TO FIND A HOBBY | ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. This video talks about the key steps to finding a hobby and how hobbies can be different. A hobby can be relaxing, self-fulfilling, or discovering something new. The goal of the video is to learn that hobbies are not hard to find if you take them step-by-step. 

Along with watching the video, try an aptitude test to match you with a hobby. Check out Buzzfeed's This 20-Question Aptitude Test Will Reveal Which Hobby You Should Try Next with 20 questions that are split into four categories to match you with your next hobby. The SPAN Youth Chat attendees tried the aptitude test as a group and were matched with baking! A surprise to some of the young adults who already took up baking as a hobby. 

Another productive hobby is taking part in online events for the betterment of your social life. Check out the following: Let's Talk Post COVID-19 Wellness for Teens and Tweens: Tips and Tricks to help tweens and teens navigate their journey back to school/reality. On Tue, July 20, 2021, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST:

There are endless amounts of hobbies to explore, but what are yours? Take the test and share under the comments the results. Connect with us virtually on the SPAN youth chat (Ages 13 & up) on Wednesdays from 3:00-3:30 PM. See you then!
