Three Hobbies to Pick Up This Spring

by Isabella Brosnan '28

Spring will be here before we know it, and although the season can have its ups and downs, spring is always a good time to refresh. What's a better way to refresh than to pick up a new hobby? Whether it's something you do every day or once a month, it’s nice to learn a new skill and find something new you enjoy! Here are three hobbies that are perfect to try this spring!

Collaging: Making collages is a creative way to relieve stress, make beautiful patterns,

or even plan your future. It’s perfect for a calm spring morning or a nice way to unwind if you finish your homework early. My favorite part about collaging is you can do it with almost anything – magazines, construction paper, feathers, glitter, beads, sequins etc. – the options are endless! So get inspired by the pretty flowers and make some collages! 

Photography: There's something comforting about a beautiful picture of nature.

Picking up photography is such a fun hobby, especially in the springtime, when the flowers are bursting with color. Whether it’s your phone camera, a digital camera, or a camera with a professional lens, taking photos of elements you find interesting can ease worries and lead to wonderful memories. Additionally, you can enjoy your photos even more by adding them to a collage or scrapbook!

Dance: Although dancing for a team or competitively may be difficult, a recreational dance class or dance videos online are a great way to get you moving, which can help a lot as breaks during a long study session. Making up dances with your friends or learning dances online can also be a great activity. And of course, just dancing to your favorite song with no choreography is fun, too. This spring, get moving in the mornings or whenever you have some free time by dancing your heart out!
