how to find a hobby
18/f: I am gonna be doing college part time next year and so I'm gonna have more time on my hands. I feel like I have no hobbies, nothing to dedicate myself to, nothing to make me a more interesting person. I am living on a college budget, and I live in a country where most private classes are expensive, and there aren't many other sports clubs other than soccer, especilally not for girls. I am intereste in many things, baking, cooking, sports, crafts, photograpy,art, etc. But I am not particularly good at any of them, and I dont know where to start learning without spending a lot of money. Any suggestions? thanks.

Hobbies are formed by experience. You have to do something in order to make it your hobby. If you enjoy what you are doing, then that would be a good start. What do you like to do? That's what you have to ask yourself then apply. Sorry if this does not make sense to you but I am trying.

Not knowing what country you are from it is going to be hard to answer your question. This being so I will base my answer on college life in the USA were I am from.
College life is much different from the school life you have been use to. You are treated in a much more adult manner and are free to pick and choose from many different activities. As for picking a hobby I would start by looking at your Colleges' student guide or hand book under student activities. There should be a listing of the different activities sponsored or sanctioned for on campus activity.
The nice thing about a hobby is what matters is your interest, not how good you are. Take photographs for instance. You will most likely find people in this club who are not as good as you and who are better than you. In a club like this it is all about learning from others and doing together. The same would be true for most other clubs you might have an interest in. Some clubs may state, "beginners welcome, or this is for advance people only". Not exactly snobbish for the advanced club just that a beginner would be lost and not get much enjoyment in that club.
You can also check at the student union for other activities that may be posted there. These activities are generally not sanctioned by the college and meet of campus. There is nothing wrong with these groups, they just for one reason or another do not meet one or more of the requirements for college sanctioning.
As I said college life is different from the school life you are accustomed to. You will find plenty of activities if you know where to look. I have offered you two places to look. I'm sure once college is open you will find more places to look.
