But you do. Great Courses are pretty awesome. Find a degree you don't want to / have the money to pay for but you wish you did and seek our their course guides.
(Here is an example: https://library.bu.edu/gastronomyguides )
Read the articles . listen to the podcasts. Pirate the textbooks. Be a fucking whole ass person and explore your interests because life is complicated and beautiful and you deserve to exist in that space in a way that is gratifying and encourages you to seek more and be more.

📠Find something that tickles ur brain and dive in, ideally sitting at a desk and having some kind of place to take notes, write questions you have, and note down resources.
I think it can really improve your relationship to yourself to see that ur capable of not just scrolling mindlessly for hours, but for caring deeply about a topic, treating it seriously and with curiosity.
Doesn’t need to be an intellectual topic at all! I’ve just started lap swimming so am ‘studying’ freestyle technique, what drills to do, the swimming styles of various Olympians etc

💡I have an MS in Business Analytics but now I study pelvic health, scar tissue and bodywork to health coach people with chronic pelvic pain. I used to work in finance. I took a lot of math in college for fun (really!) but wish I took more linguistics classes, also for fun. I also took a class called Aural Culture and one called Performing Wisdom. They have given me much information for how I want to live life!
Study whatever you find interesting! You can change your career path literally whenever you want and everything you’ve learned before will serve you in amazing ways you can’t even imagine.
Taking some business classes is good even though they’re boring because you gain a vocabulary that makes everyone think you know your shit even if you don’t. I was a 23 year old woman with almost no experience telling old white multi-millionaire men what to do with money because I gave confidence and had the vocabulary to be in that world.
I’m so glad I left that world but the skills I’ve gained from having that past life have been instrumental in moving through the world with the confidence I have now!

😃Whenever you find some field or topic interesting the chances are you can find some book, blog, or newspaper articles on the topic and research into it yourself. It doesn't even have to cost money if you make use of your local library. Also, because it's just a hobby you don't have to worry about understanding or being good at anything, although I think that trying your best to understand definitely enhances the experience.
Doing this also prepares you for the future as you'll have a wider breadth of knowledge and connections to draw on, as well as strengthening your researching skills.

Like this former ice house/band practice space/storage unit/ no idea there was so much random stuff ... It has had many lives and will have many more. Grand Rapids is more interesting than it appears. Placemaking. Exhibition. Activation. Art and community and connection. Here we go.

-Ordet (1955)
-The House Is Black (1963)
