Now that I am away from home and diving into my university career I find myself being always busy. I feel like I never have time for anything that doesn't connect back to my major, don’t get me wrong I love my major and enjoy a lot of my classes, but there are things I never feel like I have time for, even though I use to love doing it. So here are a few things I miss doing now that I am in college

Reading

Before I got into college I kept up on all the popular book series and I constantly had a book with me. I still read often, but now I am always reading scripts because when you’re a theatre major the more scripts you know the better off you are. I adore reading scripts but I do miss a good novel.

Binge Watching T.V.

Who doesn’t love finding a good new series on Netflix? I remember watching entire seasons of shows in one day. Now with all the homework and rehearsal I might get time to watch one episode. I don’t even have the motivation to start new shows because I can’t make that sort of commitment. This summer I watched all of Firefly and I haven’t since finished a show.

Drawing

I may not be the best artist but I enjoyed it, I remember a lot of nights in high school staying up late working on a project. I still tend to doodle in my notebooks and on the side of my homework assignments but it isn’t the same as sitting down and taking the time to just relax and draw.

Writing

Yes, I am currently writing this article, but once again it is not exactly what I mean. I have always enjoyed creative writing; I would write pages and pages of just whatever I wanted. Now I just write articles and papers for classes, I still get ideas for stories I just don’t have time to right them down.
