HOBBIES/INTERESTS

Baking is one of my favorite things to do on the weekend. As long as I can find a recipe that interests me, I will definitely try it out. I've made dishes such as bread pudding, lemon cake, chocolate strawberries, and cookies. What I enjoy most about baking is following the recipe because I love the feeling of putting ingredients together to make something entirely new.

I'm very fond of doing henna on people. I started doing it in 5th grade and still enjoy it very much. Even though I stress my hand a lot, whenever someone asks me to do henna on them, I jump up at the chance because of the joy it brings me. I am absolutely sure that I will never get bored of doing it. The above picture shows henna designs I have done over the past few years.

I adore reading to no extent. Just leave me alone with a book and I guarantee that I will finish it soon after. As of right now, I enjoy romance novels the most, but also lean towards fantasy and mystery. Reading is my favorite way to relax and escape from reality. There's something incredibly satisfying about finishing a book you've been reading for a long time.

I absolutely love to read. If I have no homework or chores to do, you can most definitely find me with my nose in a book. My favorite genres are romance, comedy, adventure, and thriller/mystery. The book above is a part of one of my favorite series.

In the summer, I enjoy spending time in my pool, just swimming around for fun and relaxing in the water. One of my favorite things to do is to practice underwater skills like back flips, front flips, and handstands. It's always exciting to see how long I can hold my breath or balance upside down. It's so refreshing to have this option on hot days.

Whenever I have the opportunity to,  I try to bake something for the family to enjoy. I've made strawberry cake, a classic cheesecake, Nutella toast pies, and more! Some turn out better than others, but it's always the process that's exhilarating to me, rather than the final result.
