Just wanna say that there are almost no scenarios where I’ll be mad at a highschooler for not having hobbies.
This is ESPECIALLY true because all adults I’ve ever met have told me stuff like “extracurriculars aren’t hobbies!!” Bitch, some days I leave for school at 7am and get home at 8pm. And then I have homework!! And I have to eat! And shower! Does that sound like a schedule with time for hobbies?
I think most American highschoolers live in an environment where most of their waking hours are spent making themselves look appealing for colleges, and if the one hundred and one extracurriculars they take aren’t hobbies considered hobbies, then they don’t have time for any.
Now, obviously there are people without hobbies AND without extracurriculars, at which point I may judge you a little bit, but everyone else is exempt. Goodluck living through our school system :’D
