I'm sure this is a bit of an odd question, but I'm hoping to get some helpful answers.

I'm a 23 year-old female and I was wondering if  anyone here has any suggestions for ways to help me develop my personality and discover my interests more?  It could be something as simple as a questionnaire or online test.  I'd appreciate it!  :)

personality, life

I am a 23 year old female too and I totally understand what you are saying... college has kicked my ass and left me with like, zero time to actually develop as a person.

Have you ever tried learning a musical instrument? Guitar or piano maybe? You can find relatively inexpensive guitars and they are really easy to learn... it hurts your fingers at first but even if you don't have time for lessons you can get software that actually really helps... like little video lessons on the computer. A guitar is awesome.. portable, you can bust it out anywhere and play it for people... you can join a musical group... people can sing along with you... good times. I got a new guitar over the summer and I feel a lot more accomplished when I practice it.

If you don't have an interest in that, maybe dance lessons or karate... also two very enjoyable things that will have the added benefit of fitness : )

I also like to keep a sketchbook around or maybe some blank pallets... it's never to late to learn how to draw or paint... my grandmother didn't start until she was widowed and now she actually teaches painting classes! Plus, it's easy and fun.

Scrapbooking is fun too... plus you can have something to show off for your efforts and creativity. Something interesting to show off to people when they come over.

If I had a lot of free time I would love to learn how to do Poi, which is spinning firesticks but people do it much more safely with glowsticks and spinning socks to learn with... it's something kinda unique and interesting and fun.

Sewing is another neat thing to learn... cause then you can make decorations for your place, or gifts to people. Actually, a really fun thing to do that doesn't require much sewing skills are these blankets: Fleece Tie Blankets

So uh, yeah can you tell I wish I had more free time to explore hobbies? Haha. I just have to hang in there until May!

Idk if any of this will be helpful but I think all of them would be fun things to try. : )
