Playing music!

I love to paint. It is such a relaxing activity. I love to lock myself up in a room for an hour or so and see what I can come up with. Its a great destresser!
this is one of my most recent painting that I have done.

These days I find myself playing with toys! My son is now at the age where he actually wants to play with them instead of just chewing on everything. I built this shelf for his toys so that he can reach them whenever he wants. Now we have little playdates throughout the day; before classes, after lunch, or just whenever. I have to admit, it's a great stress reliever!

Over winter break, I got back into doing puzzles. It's really relaxing and nice to take a couple hours to do one while listening to some music.

One thing that I've recently returned to is painting. I used to paint a lot, but I stopped for a while, so getting back into it has been really fun. I'm trying to develop my own style now, so it's been fun creating kinds of wacky different kinds of paintings.

One thing that I find very therapeutic and fun is going to Target with my friends -- regardless if I need anything. Over the summer, I picked up golfing. I also enjoy taking walks/going on drives and listening to podcasts or music. (TikTok also consumes a lot of my free time).

I like to play with art! I love to go to museum and looking for different art pieces. I also love to collect my own art pieces. The picture is one of the few wall decor I have in my room. I love the pink tone in this art piece and cope well with my room theme (which is pink).

I really enjoy playing music as a way to relax, enjoy the world, and even process the world around me. Recently I've been playing a lot of piano, but I also enjoy playing guitar a fair amount as well.

Recently, in my free time, I've been spending lots of time crafting! I started doing cross stitch and embroidery over quarantine (I am doing my first ever free hand right now!) and I really enjoy making the big chunky knit blankets. It is so fun to watch them get bigger and bigger. This is a picture of a blanket I made for my best friend for Christmas

Lately I've been playing old Gamecube and Wii games with my boyfriend. It's been fun remembering all the happy childhood memories I associate with these games!

I love to play my trumpet! While we weren't able to "take the field" this year, it still makes me super happy to look at awesome pictures like this one that are hard to appreciate in the moment (all I can think about right then is getting my toes pointed and playing the right notes!!) but are incredible to reflect upon after. I still practice regularly in hopes of having a season next year!!

These days, I'm into exactly the same thing as Sara and Maddi! I love to go out for a night drive by myself and sing at the top of my lungs. This is me on my drive tonight, singing "As I Am" by H.E.R. It's been my favorite jam for a few months.

I love to drive around with my friends and listen to music. My roommate makes (subjectively) the best playlists on spotify and we just get in the car and drive with no destination and listen to them

I love to spend my free time with my cats. Listening to music or watching my favorite movies give me some time to relax.

# data[].attributes.body
I like to take my dog for walks along the water! When it's colder out I like to go for drives with my friends or family along the lake

I love to listen to music and find new music! Especially first thing in the morning. Right now I'm listening to a lot of Frank Ocean, Maggie Rogers, Leon Bridges, H.E.R., random songs, and Fleetwood Mac always. One way that I like to be creative with music is by re-organizing lyrics to make poems with a new meaning, so I attached one I wrote using Fleetwood Mac lyrics :)

I like to play when I am with my dogs, Chico and Yoshi. Whenever I am stressed or just need a brain break from school, I will always go and play fetch with my dogs or even take them to the dog park or on a walk. When I'm with my dogs, I tend to zone out and forget what I was doing beforehand. They both relieve a lot of my stress and playing with them is by far my favorite way to destress and recalibrate from a long day. Here's a picture from Christmas with Chico (white pure-breed Maltese), Yoshi (white and brown Chihuahua/Maltese mix), and my boyfriend.

I love to be creative, whether that's through nail art, makeup, coloring, or even henna. I love each outlet for different reasons because each allow for an escape from the real world and into one I created. Doing henna and makeup though are my probably my favorites, so here's a photo of one of my favorite henna designs I did!

This is Finn and he's a golden doodle

My favorite way to play is spending time with my dogs. I love animals in general so I always tend to do things that involve them! This is Max and he's a maltese and poodle mix.

I love getting out into nature whenever I can but when I'm at home I love cooking and baking and trying new things in the kitchen! (Currently learning about fermentation and cheesemaking!)

# data[].attributes.body
I like to play by going on random adventures with people I love. Like last week, my boyfriend and I saw that the sky was clear so we picked up dinner and we chased the sunset to a beach. It was so much fun to do something spontaneous!

# data[].attributes.body
My play is, and always will be, spending time with my sisters. They make me fall to the ground laughing and we can talk to each other about literally anything. We're all full time students, so we haven't really gotten a lot of time together since school started. But, I look forward to seeing them in the future!

I don't really have photos of me doing things, but one of my favorite things to do to play is being silly and dancing with my friends. By myself, I'm more likely to play PC games, or read/write if I'm feeling super creative.

# data[].attributes.body
I love to hang out and find new things to do with my family! This is a picture of when I went with my cousins to a drive-in movie theater. (It was SO much fun)

I like to play with my nieces and nephews! These are my three youngest niblets and we play board games, watch movies and videos, and have lots of NERF battles.

Chelcey: My roommate and I regularly go to the cat cafe and play with the kitties :)

My favorite way to play is to go skiing. I have been skiing since I was little and it is the time I feel most happy.

Also like Hannah W, doing paint by numbers has been something fun I have recently enjoyed. I did this one over break.

I love watching Disney movies and singing along with all of the songs!!
Knowing all of the *lyrics* is my specialty, even if singing isn't 😅

Jacquelyn: My two roommates and I all have some kind of musical background or experience, so we got these karaoke microphones so we can all sing and dance around our apartment when we need to blow off some steam or stress and it's a lot of fun :)

I really love to play by making things, whether it's through writing or arts and crafts. This video is from Interlochen Arts Camp, describing why it's so important to make and engage in art.
