Things I liked to do growing up

Growing up I always had phases where I would get really invested in an activity and give up on it when I found a new hobby. Some of them include:

1. Slime

There was a period of time I think in 6th to 7th grade where slime started to get really popular. I remember seeing a slime Instagram account on my explore page and I became mesmerized after scrolling through their page. I went out and bought a bunch of glue, borax, and shaving cream to try to recreate some of the slimes I saw. The slime I made never turned out the way I wanted to and I never had a good place to store the slime I made, so I eventually gave up on that hobby. 

2. Reading 

Growing up, there would be phases where if I discovered a book or series that I really enjoyed I would not do anything else but read. But if I finished the series/book and couldn’t find another book, I would not read for months until another book came by. I distinctly remember that in 5th grade I discovered the Series of unfortunate events and I borrowed the entire collection from the library and in 6th grade I found the Harry Potter series. I finished both series in a week because I didn’t do anything but read during the time. 

3. Rainbow loom 

Rainbow loom is also another random hobby that blew up when I was really young. I remember being in 5th grade and when I got my rainbow room kit I would sit in my room in silence for a few hours and make bracelets until I ran out of elastic bands. I slowly fell out of my hobby when I ran out of materials and my elementary school banned kids from bringing them in.
