The title pretty much sums up itself. I'm becoming bored with my life here lately, since I'm in college and I can't get off campus until the weekends, since I don't have a car on campus. Socially the place is dead and its quite lonely since I'm single.So I figure it's time to start a hobby, just not sure what to start. I figured mabye model cars and that stuff, I could learn to skate by joining the outdoor club that skates here, or something else that's none musical since I can already play the alto saxophone. So what's a good hobby?

try videogames?? lol or play piano or guitar. You can serenade the girls with your guitar. Play hacky sack with the other students. Get your drivers license and go bowling. Seriously if you have a car everything opens up. Atleast have one of your friends drive.

I draw lots of anime, it wastes time (in a good way). You don't yourself don't have to draw anime, but I suggest drawing, it's quite fun, and like I said wastes time :P (In a good way). You can also try something like what you suggested, model cars. Collecting crap is also good....wait nvm you can't go off campus, but looking online for collectors stuff is kind of fun....I guess.....sometimes....not really :?.

Oh, and you play Sax? I myself play Alto :D.

EDIT : Video games is also a good hobby (though I don't see why you're on gamespot if you don't play video games :P.).

If you have the money, i would get into car mechanics so you can work on your own project cars like old muscle cars. Or building plactics models is fun, definately kills time but can be sorta costly if you want to make some good pieces.

Urgh, the college is a benedictine college so I hear enough about religion everyday, and I'm not even religious really.

Modeling(scale replica) is extremely fun and time consuming. I have been building models for a long time now, and it really lets you get creative with your pieces. It can be quite costly if you let it, but you can easily build, paint and detail a nice kit for under $15 dollars. You can also go to the other extreme and build models that are in the $100s of dollars range. Message me if you want to know more. I would be glad to show you some very friendly and informative sites that have litteraly thousands of users. It would be cool to see someone else join the light side:D.

Hoobies are great, try reading a dictionary for a hooby.

Seriously though: You're 19, what hobby do you need besides drinking/smoking pot/****ing/playing games. In fact, you should be doing all four at once.

I have many hobbies relating the computer, I always play video games as a good way to waste time. And occasionally I'll head outside and do a bit of skateboarding. Lot's of hobbies you could start :) Not sure what you'd want though

I suggest learning a foreign language. Not only will it give you something to do in the meantime, but it will open up more media (movies/TV shows/magazines) for you. Also, it will help you get a better job in the future.

You should try watching films. I'm not talking about your Hollywood films either; try watching independent/art-house films. Many different directors that most people don't know about film movies in very different ways; it's always interesting to see something a little out of the ordinary once in a while.

rescue kittens? Video games are probably the fastest way to pass time and can even help you get out frustrations. Reading is also good, there are plenty of books out there to check out.
