I'd like to talk about an activity I often do that wastes my time: doodling. I started doodling back in 10th grade. My sister used to doodle, and she created amazing artwork on walls and paper. Being a bit of a copycat, I really wanted to learn the art of doodling. So I actually picked up some tips and tricks from my sister. I created my first doodle in 11th grade. I know it's a bit of a time-waster, but it actually helps me relax and clear my head. Whenever I'm stressed, I grab a piece of paper and start scribbling. It's a great way for me to de-stress. I've spent countless hours and days working on doodles, saving different works by various artists and trying to mimic or copy their styles. I've actually created over 20 doodling pieces, which takes a lot of time. I haven't had much time to dedicate to these things, but it's something I enjoy. So, that's one activity I do that definitely wastes my time.
