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?

Hiking, painting, 3d printing, board games, gardening.
Collecting and restoring knives.

Whatever you feel like doing...
But find something that's different enough than your future job.
I mean... I troubleshoot network stuff for a living and coming home and doing puzzles would absolutely suck, as it's the same kind of stimuli (finding patterns).
Every job is different, and I burn out of different hobbies depending on what job I'm doing.
