I just graduated optometry school and I feel like I’ve lost a bit of my identity. I didn’t have much free time to focus on the things that make me happy and now I’m lacking inspiration. I can’t work until my license is approved so I’ve had days of doing nothing since May 7. It’s been great but it’s starting to get boring; I can only play so much Zelda and doom scroll so often.

So whatcha got? What do you like to do? What are some hobbies or passions everyone has? What are non-drinking related activities to do with a partner or friends?

    My husband loves LEGOs and has started buying the Mould King brand on Amazon. He says they’re just as good but are a fraction of the price.

      I’ll admit that I’m a “LEGO snob” in that I only buy actual LEGO bricks. (I don’t look down on people who buy other brands, though. I’m not that kind of “snob.”) What I do to reduce costs is order used bricks from BrickLink. Some of the bricks look like new. Others have tiny scratches or are very slightly discolored, but are good enough that you wouldn’t notice in the build unless you really looked at them brick by brick.

        Are you married to LEGO for nostalgia’s sake? We all have preferences to brands, myself included. I love that you’re also “recycling” by buying previously used sets. That’s amazing, I had no idea that existed and I’m going to look into it!

          It’s more of a brand preference than anything else. That and when I design sets with BrickLink Studio, it uses LEGO parts and names. Also, I’ll go to Rebrickable to look up alternative builds for sets (or custom builds) and those use LEGO also. It’s just easier to stick with LEGO with all that.
