@AmmonLam Which kind of volunteering did you end up doing btw?

@TheAllMemeingEye There’s a few mentor programs in NYC that connects volunteers with high school students or undergrads to provide academic:career advise for them. I spent sometime on that

Can you volunteer to a local charity or organisation that helps the homeless if you live in a built up area, otherwise can you volunteer to protect the environment. Pls if you're a random trader could you bet on volunteer work (suggest whatever you want of course). 👉👈 🙏😁

have you already done some traveling? that'd be my top rec (very glad i carved time out for that in my similar break, so much harder later), but if you've been doing that already then nvm.

yea I went to Hong Kong, Japan and Malaysia for my first 2 months of summer and had a blast =)

sounds awesome! I’m going to Thailand for the first time in a month, can’t wait

@mongo does photography using an iphone counts? I dont think its practical for me to buy a camera just to try out if I would like photography

Yup, that's how I started. Most important aspect of photography (imho) is framing, and you can do it with anything. The main thing you miss out on is depth-of-field (e.g. having the background blurry while the subject is still in focus), which phones struggle with due to their small aperture size.

If you do want try with a "real" camera, used gear is cheap, and you only need to spend around $150 to get into "better than iphone" territory if you're smart about it.

@AmmonLam wait does this resolve if you only do it for 2 days, since that would go over 5 hours total? How long do you currently spend?

Since I specified 3 hours of manifold everyday, if I'm only doing it for 2 days only, this will resolve No.

but if I honestly spent some effort in trying to do 3 hours of Manifold everyday, and say it only lasted for 1 week, I would resolve this to yes.

I need a really good reason and suggested Manifold activity for me to attempt 3 hours of Manifold everyday

@skibidist I'm not a very athletic person

Not a prerequisite in great many clubs

sounds like all the more reason to try it!

Bicycling's a great form of fitness that's easy to get into too, and I think fitness is a good goal for everyone

@skibidist haha not a fan of dancing

Neither was I, but it was life changing to try
