It is said that idle hands make for the devil's work. Those of us here can certainly attest to that. In order to combat my own boredom and fight off urges (as well as make me a more interesting and rounded person) I think I should take up a hobby. Here's the problem: I don't know what I should do. I have friends who are into cars, photography, bonsai, and cosplay. But all of these hobbies have pretty high barriers to entry in terms of time and/or money. Being a broke college student, I have neither. Do any of you have ideas?

regarding running, ill chip in and say: do sprints! run long distance if you want, but do 10 series of short,max power sprints at least once a week. it boosts T. a lot,feels great accomplishment..a very nice excercise.
Running or hiking. Both will fill you with a sense of accomplishment and will get your blood flowing which will lead you to clearer thinking. Especially when learning, I find running as a good way to process things I have just went through.
