When you’re a homebody, it doesn’t mean that you are antisocial or an introvert, it just means that you might spend a larger percent of your day at home than out and about. As a homebody myself, I enjoy getting out and experiencing new things, but there’s nothing quite like coming home, being comfortable, and getting to do do what you want at home. Here are the top 4 hobbies that most homebodies love to do when comfy at home.

1. Drawing / Painting

Just because you like being at home doesn’t mean that you can’t let your creative juices flow. I love the days when I have enough free time to sketch in a notebook or get out canvas and paint whatever I’m feeling. It gives me a great mental escape from schoolwork and other tasks that busy my days.

2. Reading

When I have I get a new book, whether physical copy or on my phone, I get enthralled into the story. This hobby pairs extremely well with homebodies because in a flash you can let hours and hours pass when reading from a good book or story. And now with technology, it’s so easy to keep your reading addiction going right in the cozy spot in your home.

3. Cooking / Baking

For those that lean towards more “hands on” activities, you might be the type of person to either cook or bake in your free time. As much as I love going out for dinner, there’s such a great satisfaction that comes with cooking in your kitchen, maybe for just you or for your friends as well. And countless amounts of baked goods in your home all the time?? If this is your go-to hobby, your home must smell absolutely amazing.

4. Napping

And finally, the staple hobby of most all homebodies and most students in general is napping. There is nothing better than getting home from a long day of classes, work, or a rough day maybe and then curling up in your favorite spot to take a nice little cat nap. It’s a cure all and an A+ hobby. I know that if I get the chance to, I will nap in heartbeat, no matter where I am. (Yes, I have fallen asleep at the library before.)

Homebodies aren’t any less well-rounded than any other person, but we do have the best hobbies. Being able to do various things in the comfort of your own home is enough to make anyone skip out on a night out on the town to curl up at home. After cooking, after napping, after painting, and after reading, being home and doing what you love is a great feeling.
