Summer: a time of relaxation and not having to justify laying on your couch the entire day aimlessly scrolling on your phone. Though sometimes the repetitiveness may start to feel like groundhog day, it causes us to find little hobbies or interests just to fill the time. For me, my hobby this summer was baking as much as I could before I inevitably returned to campus and had to leave behind my working oven and standmixer.
