Your twenties are a magical time full of challenges and opportunities. According to many psychologists, how you spend this period will significantly determine how you live out the rest of your life. It’s only natural then that you make the most out of this time.
Taking up a hobby or two is a solid way to spice up your twenties when you still have plenty of time and freedom to discover yourself. Let’s explore some of the more popular pastimes out there now.
Beer Brewing
Never again pay for overpriced brews when you can craft them yourself. Homebrewing beer is a refined art that involves a lot of chemistry and a lot of trial and error. If you manage to discover a uniquely tasty brew, you can even make money off selling it.
Culinary Arts
Cooking, baking, grilling, you name it. The culinary arts are a practical hobby for any twenty-something to get into. Aside from learning how to make delicious meals for yourself and your friends, you get to save up on cash by not eating out often.
Video Gaming
All you need is a reasonably powerful gaming rig, and you’re all set for this hobby. Gaming can be as relaxing or as competitive as you want it to be. There are limitless genres in this pastime that you can get into, whatever your tastes may be. Become serious and skilled enough in a competitive game and you can turn pro as an eSports athlete.
Survival Prepping
Want to be ready when modern human civilization keels over due to a “world-ending” event?

With all the geopolitical instabilities happening in the world right now, it’s no surprise that people are gearing up for the worst.
Target Shooting
Here’s what you want to get into when you want to learn proper gun handling. Target shooting can be a fun hobby and a practical one too if you’re into hunting. Just head over to your nearest shooting range and start learning the fundamentals. Of course, you’ll need a firearm and some cheap bulk ammunition for this one.
Martial Arts
Learning hand-to-hand self-defense is a great way to strengthen your body and sharpen your reflexes. Taking up street-effective martial arts, such as Muay Thai and Krav Maga, is a practical way to go about it. You can also look into melee weapon or knife-fighting disciplines like Arnis and escrima.
Investing

There are plenty of options, such as bank investments, the stock market, and online cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. You’ll really learn the value of a dollar and how to manage your finances when you get into this gig.
Paintballing
