"Currently my hobbies are crocheting, knitting and playing cozy games like “Stardew Valley” and “Animal Crossing.” I would really like to do more outdoor hobbies like tennis, golfing and pickleball."

"My hobbies are definitely skiing and watching and writing about movies because it’s a good creative outlet. I’m really aiming to get more into photography this year as well!"

"My hobbies include concerts, keeping up with fashion and pop culture, doing my own nails, going to group workout classes and baking. I would like to read more and learn guitar."

"I've tried a variety of hobbies over the years, and sketching, piano, woodworking and collage are my favorites. There's something so satisfying about taking junk from a thrift store and turning it into original decor for my apartment. This year, I'd love to try pottery as a new hobby."

"Major hobbies of mine would include basketball and gaming. Gaming has been a hobby of mine my whole life. Something I want to get back into is learning to play the keyboard."

"My current hobbies consist of working out, ballet and occasionally pickleball! I’m a Pilates instructor in addition to my full time job so between teaching and taking classes it definitely takes up a good amount of time."

"My current hobbies consist of reading, taking photos, going to the gym and going to new forms of workout classes. However, with my life consisting of school and my internship, I’ve struggled with a balance of doing things for me. This year, I hope to explore other hobbies like coloring or outdoor activities like hiking."

"Last year, I learned to crochet! New hobbies I want to explore are yoga at home to improve my posture and rec sports with friends!"

"My biggest hobby is probably graphic design. I’ve also been getting more into photography, taking portraits for friends and documenting events I go to. I usually don’t have time for hobbies but if I could add one more it would be running."

"My current hobbies are watercolor/drawing (recently attempted to paint SZA), gaming and running. Other than that I would like to learn how to tattoo and bake."

"My hobbies include reading, listening to various podcasts and YouTube channels while wandering around the city. This year I’d love to get back into sewing and baking classes."

"I really only have two hobbies. One of them is working out, and my other hobby is cooking!"

"My hobbies include taking long walks and going to my favorite workout class: Barre. I also love playing nostalgic video games like “Sims 2” and “Nintendogs.”"

"My favorite hobbies are cooking and arts and crafts. I also enjoy small projects to work on, whether it’s making arts and crafts for bachelorette parties or changing hardware in my bedroom. This year, I really want to learn how to DJ! When I hear music, I always think of how I can make it my own and mix and match different genres."

"I am a photography hobbyist. I began digitally about five years ago, taking family portraits and my own headshots. I'd like to print my own photos and eventually submit them to galleries. I also am an avid movie watcher and go to the cinema about 2-3 times a week."

"My current hobbies include cooking, drawing and little art projects as well as the gym and going for walks. I really want to get back into snowboarding and spend more time outside!"

"I love taking photos, editing videos, making music and baking. Sometimes it’s hard to separate out hobbies from professional pursuits, but I’ve been trying to make an effort to do stuff just for fun and not immediately run to monetizing it. Recently I’ve also been knitting and would love to read more books."

"I'm an actor outside of work which is sorta a hobby and sorta my second career! Other than that, I go to the gym, see lots of movies and plays. I really want to get into gaming."

"My hobbies are gaming, cooking, youtube and exercising. I’d like to give DJing, mixing and streaming a try this year."

"In my free time I’m a big fan of pilates and going on walks. I also love baking and going out to eat and then writing restaurant reviews. I’m hoping to get more into running, and I’d love to learn how to do nails."

"I watch a LOT of football, including playing fantasy football. I also love playing sports, especially soccer and golf, and going to the gym. I am pretty busy with work so when I’m not doing any of that I like to either relax and watch TV/play video games like “Call of Duty” and “FIFA.”"

"I prioritize practicality and comfort. I love my Birkenstocks, a pair of low waisted jeans, sweats and a tank top. Thrifting in the Goodwill bins has allowed me to find unique pieces to add to my closet."

"My style is very casual and comfort oriented. I don't think too much about it, and I'm not too sentimental about clothes. I like clothing that is suitable for athletic activity, because who knows how the day is gonna go."

"I’d say I’m still figuring out my personal style. I was in a rut for a while when I was living in a more conservative state for school so I’m working my way back to what I actually like. Lots of earthy green and brown tones and layers though."

"I would say my style is minimal and growing towards a “capsule” wardrobe. I’m a shopaholic and I LOVE fashion, so I’m working really hard on finding timeless pieces that will last five to eight years."

"My style varies depending on the day. Some days, I throw on a sweatshirt and sweatpants to be cozy and comfy. Other days, I’ll go for a good sweater and jeans combo from Anthropologie, Brandy, and Urban Outfitters."

"My everyday style is timeless and neutral, while my special occasion wear is interesting and unique. I've tried to focus on buying long-lasting, high quality pieces that I know I'll be able to wear for years."

"It really depends on how I feel. Some days it's an all black outfit, and the next can be full of color. My fun accessories include my Dr. Martens and a vintage Orlando Magic jacket I found while thrifting."

"I’ve been thrifting for the last seven years. I gravitate towards vintage, obviously, and consistently wear Dickies, old Levi's, Carhartt, and whatever unique pieces I manage to find."

"I like to build my outfits around pieces (lace, unique cuts/styles, good collection of jeans, and good shoes). Having a good set of bracelets, earrings, necklace and rings is a great way to easily spice up everyday outfits — quality over quantity."

"Most of my outfits are centered around clean, minimalist pieces. I'm really into the outerwear options from Vuori and Theory, especially as it gets colder out. I'll usually layer them with a hoodie, something nice enough that I'd feel comfortable wearing it to the office but not so nice that I'm constantly stressing about its maintenance."

"I'd describe my personal style as being rooted in this quasi-bookish/alt look. I always wear a black tank top as a base, a French workman's jacket, a messenger bag that's a hand-me-down from my father and a hat."

"I mainly wear things that align with “acubi” fashion or “soft girl” fashion. I like to wear cropped tops, cargos, jeans, crewnecks, hoodies, and other cute tops. I mainly shop at Hollister."

"I’d describe my personal style as minimal — neutral colors and basic silhouettes. I also like funny accessories: leopard-print sneakers, a plastic kids’ watch with lizards on it, a charm necklace made out of food charms, etc."

"I like to have a lot of fun with accessories, colors, textures and prints. I wear clothing that makes me feel loud and confident. My favorite pieces are anything vintage from my mom or aunt."

"My style has evolved into dark neutrals and silhouettes that I find flattering and classy. My quintessential pieces include: my grandmother’s bracelet and necklace, a vintage Seiko watch, secondhand purses from TheRealReal, black loafers that I thrifted, a pea coat and my striped claw clips from Chunks."

"I love a look that pushes trends aside and sticks to timeless silhouettes and fits. A good pair of jeans, a nice white tank top, a cute leather jacket are the things that build my style from the ground up."

"I would describe my style as effortless and chic. Some of my style icons include Devon Lee Carlson and Miley Cyrus, specifically her Tumblr 2014 high bun era."

"My personal style is functional and simple. I own 50 total articles of clothing and try to keep it at that number. I wear the same things every day and find ways to modify what I have. My favorite items include a 1992 Gap slip dress and my Merrels."

"My style fits somewhere into the category of functional fashion, but draws largely from vintage workwear and heritage styling. My favorite pieces include a pair of good quality denim jeans and a Carhartt jacket that my dad wore when he was around my age. I revolve my closet around a handful of pieces that I feel particularly connected to."

"My style is simple and functional. I wear some version of surplus military pants every day along with a black or white tee, sometimes adding a flannel or sweater depending on the weather."

"I care a lot about access. I think there are so many systems at play in our country that are machinated to keep everyone down. Simply giving people access to the most basic of things can change the trajectory of people’s lives: access to education, healthcare, food, green spaces, technology, and more."

"Education is definitely one of the issues I care about most. I find it really appalling the extent to which so many forms of social stratification — whether its race, gender, or socioeconomic status — are reproduced in the US through unequal access to education. I also think education plays a big role in our polarized political divide, and worry about the lack of education access worldwide."

"A cause that I care about the most is making education accessible and getting rid of privatized education. I feel that most avenues of activism stem from this issue. Whether it’s climate change, healthcare or geopolitical issues, I’m a strong believer that these topics would not be considered controversial or even things we would need to be fighting for if our education system wasn’t failing us."

"Personally, the biggest cause that I care about is how technology is used in academia. With the rise of ChatGPT and other softwares that can practically go to school for you, students are becoming too reliant on this tech and as a result, are not committing the information taught in schools to their memory. Quality of education must be held to a higher standard than it is right now."

"I care a lot about responsible AI — which I'm honestly not sure exists. I think we see a lot of excitement around the promises of AI, but not as much mainstream conversation about the manual labor that goes into it and the environmental and cognitive impacts."

"I would say that I care a lot about freedom. I think that living in the US, a lot of us have been given the gift to be free and have limited restrictions on us, which is something I think a lot of people take for granted. I think that people should have the ability to believe, do, and say what they want without being condemned or shamed for it."

"I think that genocide is the most pressing issue of our time. From Palestine to Lebanon to Sudan to Congo, it's happening everywhere. I think it's most important for us to advocate for those experiencing genocide and occupations, as it's not only a devastating human rights violation, but also a massive environmental crisis."

"Mental health has been a huge part of my life and I’ve seen how anxiety and depression have affected my life and other people around me. It’s so important to advocate and get help for those who need it, especially if they have a hard time speaking up and getting help for themselves."

"Women’s equality and the right to their own bodies is so important to me, especially now living in a state where the abortion ban did not pass in the recent election. It’s so important to continue advocating for women in a time that feels like we are moving backwards in history."

"I believe that everyone deserves access to food, shelter, healthcare, education, and, underrated but key, psychological safety — these are the fundamental resources needed to live with dignity. And I'm deeply concerned about how our current media ecosystem."

"Cool is having an interest in life, it's ambition, it's a desire to evolve. It's also a lit cigarette. Someone is cool when I think they're pretty. Another person is cool because they have hyper fixations on interests I happen to share. People with opposite personalities can be cool. Cool is unabashed, unreserved personalities. Cool is pride. Cool is temporary, it's internal and externally decided. It's an opinion that changes. Someone's cringe is another person's cool."

"To me, “cool” is something that I can appreciate for its originality, depth and purpose. I'm more drawn to what feels true and rare, rather than what's trendy at the moment."

"I think there are differences between what is trending and what is cool. Just because a lot of people find something cool, doesn’t mean it has to be to you. “Cool” is an individual and personalized experience."

"Coolness is the marriage of both purpose and sincerity, along with confidence. What I find “cool” tends to align with what feels inspiring to me, whether it’s an outfit YouTube video where i can tell the Youtuber has chosen pieces that they TRULY love, or whether it’s my roommate’s passion for botany, I find that true purpose and sincerity will always permeate through."

"For something to be considered cool to me, it has to be enjoyed by a group of people that I could see myself being a part of."

"I think “cool” is a social construct. One person can think something completely different is cool, but an individual person’s perception is based on opinion, lifestyle and many other factors. “Cool” to me is something that sparks my creativity and really gets the wheels turning."

"Cool to me is just something that I admire a lot."

"I think of “cool” individuals being unapologetically themselves, and because of that, I can respect their tastes and preferences as unique and authentic."

"I think it’s almost easier to define what is uncool? Trends come and go every day and it feels impossible to predict what might come next. But, I also think so much of visual culture is derived from past influences, and when something trendy arrives that feels detached from its obvious past influences, that to me is uncool and oversaturated."

"I think it’s possible for sustainability and convenience to coexist, but that it’s heavily dependent on privilege and access."

"I try to prioritize sustainability over convenience when possible. However, I acknowledge that I often make decisions that compromise sustainability, like flights."

"I believe sustainability and convenience can coexist through conscious choices. In cities where public transportation, walking, and biking aren’t always practical, there are still options to reduce our environmental impact while maintaining the convenience of personal transportation, like carpooling or investing in an electric vehicle. I live in a city with minimal public transport and walking definitely isn't an option. I'm hoping to save up for an electric vehicle soon."

"No, owning a car and being sustainable cannot co-exist. But, we’re doing our best. It is a financial privilege for an individual to be able to make active decisions about buying from “sustainable” brands, as they tend to be more expensive. Electric cars are becoming more affordable but for most people, a gas car is the only thing within their budget, and it feels like most city leadership isn’t interested in investing in better public transportation."

"Honestly, I mostly prioritize convenience unless there’s a sustainable option that is convenient. It’s unfortunate but in our society, sustainability is more expensive and time-consuming than the normal, unsustainable option."

"When I think about the trade-off between sustainability and convenience, it does often feel like one comes at the expense of another. As a college student, convenience feels so emphasized nowadays because everyone’s trying to do everything as efficiently as possible. I feel like my approach to sustainability is rooted in consuming less, wasting less, reusing more. For things like transportation, I mostly use public transportation when a city is built for it, and use my car when I simply have no alternative."

"I do not often explicitly consider sustainability, which I feel guilty about admitting. I have habits rooted in sustainability that have developed over the years: I recycle, I live in New York without a car, I cycle to work, I re-use plastic, I go in and out of composting phases. Most of my thinking comes down to whether I can afford the cost of a given service or product. For example, I turn off lights because I want a lower electricity bill, not necessarily because of its impact on the environment."

"It’s all about balance. I often choose convenience to save time. Living in Florida, if I were to take a bus or train, it would take me twice as long to get anywhere. I try to practice sustainability in other ways, like trying to carpool with friends and family as often as possible."

"Independent sustainability is a pressure that removes the responsibility from the top polluters of the world. Because I know that no matter what I do to minimize my impact I will still dwarf in comparison to the pollution of these power structures, the decision between sustainability and convenience is a personal one."
