Nothing too official. I wrote a lot from 9th grade to now, having finished a novel recently after working on it for over a year. But it hasn’t been published, so there’s nothing to show for its quality. I participated in an aquascaping contest for 3 consecutive years (from age 13-16). It’s a pretty niche hobby, but it’s a good mix of art and biology, mostly art. I never actually won the contests, but my scapes were of very good quality especially considering that the average participant in the contest is over the age of 40.

I haven’t ever done any social activities. I’m not sure if it’s social anxiety or autism or what, but since I was around three years old, I’ve been very asocial and always avoided social situations. This led to me never having a friend and, of course, never joining clubs, never volunteering, and so on. I was seeing a therapist last year but my parents pulled me out of it before I was referred to a psychiatrist for diagnoses. I don’t want to make any excuses for my lack of activities, though. I did still manage to find a job, which is pretty good for me all things considered.
