Another hobby that I love is people watching. Wherever I go, I always watch those around me.
I promise you that this isn't nearly as creepy as it might sound. People watching is how I've gotten ideas for bits of my stories. I love seeing how others in the world interact with one another, to see lives different from my own. I think that that is the reason that I like the city-- because I don't really love the smells or the crowds of the city, and yet I still yearn to travel into the city from time to time. Obviously, the city has other great aspects to it, but I think seeing all the different people is the best part.
That being said, almost all the colleges that I'm looking at are in towns, not cities. But still, I do enjoy the city and all the people that come with it.
But back to people watching... it really is amazing how much you can learn if you simply listen. Not in a creepy, eavesdropping kind of way, but in a "I'm just going to sit here with my tea and my classic literature and listen" kind of way. Try it sometime, you'll be surprised at how much you learn.
