That doesn't make my statement untrue, though : |. I read them, if it's something you aim for in your spare time, it's technically a hobby ("an activity or interest which is undertaken for pleasure"). It's not a professional matter, it's just something you're hoping for. That action of hoping would constitute a hobby.
Going to college ≠ hobby.
Daydreaming about a specific one would be, though. It's in line with a person who collects Harvard memorabilia without attending the place. It's a brand obsession.
Actually attending the college would not be.
And neither would studying for tests that you would otherwise not have taken, traveling hundreds of miles six times, in three round trips, for the aforementioned tests, researching things you would otherwise not given a second thought to, and a myriad of other things which would definetly not come under 'things done in spare time'. This dream college makes me actually want to study for it, for chrissakes! Even my mother's amazed by that! 🤣
There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

I learned that staying in the library by accident after closing hours is not very enjoyable. Especially when you had to call security to get you the hell out of there.

I learned not to let any cats sit on my lap while my dad is around and seems likely to sneeze (can't they jump off in terror without gouging holes in my legs??)

Must not have been able to hear the closing announcement over all the noise in there eh? 😛

I learned that I'm actually a bit lonely without my roommate 🙁 (she recently moved out).
I learned how to do various hairstyles. Like how to make a bow out of my hair, (FINALLY) learned how to French braid, and waterfall braid.

I've been trying out different hairstyles too. I learned how to do a fishtail braid (a few days ago). I'm still working on the waterfall braid.
Today, I learned that lye is sodium hydroxide.

Are you going to make soap in orgo lab? This sounds like orgo... 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 ♥
Technically, yesterday... I learned that female dogs also mark their own territory... (and this whole time I thought it was a male thing).

No, I was just curious about soapmaking. I never got to make it in lab. (Smiley faces and hearts should not follow the words orgo lab >:-( ). The only time I ever used lye was for cooking.
Incidentally, yesterday, my sister and I were discussing territory marking and how it was a male thing. So thanks for the fun fact. 😀

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm an orgo lover 😳 (totally despised gen chem 😔 but lab was fun!).
And you're welcome about the fun fact... it was only b/c I was walking with my friend as she was walking her dog who'd stop and do little markings around the block. 🤨

Today I learned that it is NOT AT ALL smart to pick a fight with a person who is going to give you money.
Bootleg means illegally download! And a play house is a place where musicians come and play!
