Hi All, Alice here! 

Apologies for not being active recently; my GCSEs have been pretty tough so far... 

Anyway, I decided to talk to you all about how important it is to have a hobby. I honestly have lots; acting, singing, dancing, writing - the list goes on!

But a hobby is very important, especially for your state of mind! If all you did was school, you'd go insane and probably get ill. So, a great idea would be to get out of the house every once in a while.

We all know that Stardoll is great, but sometimes it is nice to get out into the real world and socialize. I love Stardoll, but would never let it take over my life; I go online as much as possible, but I leave time for other things. So should you.

Ideas for hobbies to take up:

* Acting - 

This is honestly the best thing in the world (in my opinion, I know it is biased). It is a way to gain self-confidence and have fun.

* Singing - 

This is a great way to express yourself and also gain self-confidence.

* Writing - 

Writing is a skill you'll need for pretty much your whole life. It is also something they mainly focus on teaching in school. 

* Running

* Drawing/painting

* Photography

* Playing an instrument

* Gardening

Try something new!
