Hello HIVEANS!! Do you remember me? My name is Jumbo Josephine aka Joseyjayy. Today is my 4th day on Hive,and yes I’m counting😂…..because I’m so excited to be here. I am learning alot!
Do you want to know more about me? I’m guessing the answer is yes because I want to know more about you too. Let’s get to it;
One of the worst parts of living in the 21st century is the pace of life. It seems like there is never enough hours in a day to get everything accomplished. In order to beat time, sometimes, we forget we should enjoy ourselves once in a while.
This is where HOBBIES come in;
#WHAT ARE HOBBIES?
According to Wikipedia, A hobby is considered to be a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure time. There are lots of positive effects that hobbies have such as; stress relief, social interaction, personal growth, self confidence, productivity and lots more.
##WHAT ARE MY HOBBIES?

The image above shows my hobbies; Let’s talk about them👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽
- PHOTOGRAPHY
If I wasn’t in medical school, I will definitely be a photographer. I think photography changes life; this sounds like a big claim but think about it 🤔. When we want to get vivid memories of past events we go back to the pictures we took. I love capturing beauty at the moment because I think it is a best way to explore the world. I love playing around with lighting, angles and shadows. Whenever I see something beautiful I bring out my phone or camera and take pictures of it sharp sharp😂. Taking pictures is savoring life honestly. Through taking pictures I have gotten to change people’s perception of themselves. Below are some of my shots;
I call this picture the dark blue sky
This is my friend, her name is Miriam

-VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering is a voluntary act of an individual or group freely giving time and labour for community service. Volunteering is my most intentional hobbies because it has to do with impacting lives. I do not volunteer on my own but I am part of a volunteering network in Portharcourt, Nigeria called 360volunter network. We set a monthly goal, work towards it and achieve it. During volunteering, I have seen the other sides of life.There are lots of ignorant people in the world even though they have a formal education, volunteering gives me the opportunity to enlighten people and make the world a better place with my own little contribution.
YOU CAN BE A VOLUNTEER TOO!
-PLAYING VOLLEYBALL
Sports! I suggest everyone should be interested in one sport or the other because exercise is very beneficial for our hearts. Do you play a sport?? If you do what sport do you play?
I play volleyball. Why did I choose volleyball? Initially I was interested in basketball but apparently I can’t even grip the ball not even bounce too (don’t laugh at me 👀). Volleyball is a very fun sport and it doesn’t discriminate. If you are tall, short, fat, thin or whatever, you too can play you just have to learn the skills.
This is me and my best friend heading back from the game of volleyball
These pictures were taken by me while I was resting from a game of volleyball
- READING
Because I am in the medical field, reading automatically became my hobby but most times reading to pass exams is different from reading for fun.I’m a big supporter of relaxing with a good book. Amidst my tight schedule, I still find the time to sit down with a book and start exploring new universes. Each book is a new life lived!
- LISTENING TO MUSIC
Research has found out that listening to music is healing. It eases and calms my mind and reduces my anxiety. Music is my SAFE SPACE. I have loved music since I was a child, I remember being part of the orchestra while I was in junior secondary school. I played the violin. I do not know how to sing but I know a good sound when I hear one. Music is my escape. Music makes me happy, whenever I’m sad and I listen to music, I get better again. It works like magic. I listen to all genres of music as far as it is good music 😇. I do not have a favorite artist because I listen and appreciate every musician out here.```
This is the stats from my Spotify music account showing how much of a music freak that I am
COOKING
As a first daughter, I learned how to cook at a very young age and I fell in love with it. Testing out different recipes and learning about new cultures through the cuisine can never lead you astray. Through cooking I get to expand my horizons and learn different cultures. As I love cooking, I also love eating! Food is life!!
PLAYING CHESS
The game of chess has developed my ability to see from someone’s else perspective. I am still a novice but with continuous practice I’m sure I will a master.WRITING/WATCHING MOVIES
Through writing I get to put my ideas on paper and let my imagination and my thoughts take over me. When I have anxiety, it is calming to write my thoughts in my journal.
I love watching movies too.CONGRATULATIONS🤝, YOU GOT THIS FAR.

Great one Joe. Our hobbies are similar. Only that I don't play chess and I don't know how to. 😔
Awww, thank you. You can learn how to play chess using YouTube or download the chess app on your phone and start playing with computer.
Exactly! I knew I could learn this way. But laziness to do that still dy my body. I hope I do some day.
Photography is a way to record moments and feelings so that they can stand the test of time. When you see a picture, no matter how long ago it was taken, you instantly remember all the circumstances surrounding that picture. Always gives one a sense of nostalgia.
You take good pictures by the way...😊
Thank you for sharing this with us.
