1. Writing. English was my worst subject at school and I never really enjoyed writing short stories for my assignments. I've basically never written fiction or non-fiction for my own enjoyment. c_hawkthorne mentioned /r/writingprompts so I'm going to check that out. I've also always wanted to write non-fiction. Being able to put forward an opinion or explain something in a way that is easy to understand and persuasive sounds really good. Again this brings to mind GCSE English exams where I've had one and a half hours to write a persuasive letter on how the imaginary sports centre should not be built as it will yadda yadda rule of three yadda yadda adjectives zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

2. Music. Playing guitar is fun, playing piano is fun. I wish I hadn't stopped piano lessons after secondary school. The instant I can afford a place with enough space (i.e. when I graduate), I am getting a piano and going to start playing again. I play piano as much as I can when I'm at home with my family.
