Hobbies
As much as I enjoy studying and working hard in my academics, I believe it is very important and almost crucial to having a multifaceted personality in which you have healthy outlets other than just studying. In my spare time, I enjoy writing short novels, just for the fun of writing them, to express myself. I love going to the gym to keep myself physically fit, while also utilizing it as a stress reliever. I always make sure to make time for my family and friends. Having a strong support and network of individuals that are there for you is important and therefore making time for them is vital, in my opinion. Having these outlets and hobbies help me to revitalize myself so that when I go back to studying, I have that much more energy and enthusiasm to do my work.
