Im grounded, probably for a while, want to use this time to learn a new skill, where should I start?
68 replies, posted
So I fucked up pretty bad, probably wont have internet access for really much of anything to do for a while, is there any skills I can pick up during this time? I like learning about new stuff and I will have some basic internet access from a school computer with a search filter. Any suggestions?
Edit: Interested in Film Production, Video Games, History, Philosophy (I guess), and books (Learning to write maybe? that would be nice.)
Im kinda open to learning anything tho
Learn Python. Or start fencing. I don't know.
Depends on what you're interested in. Music? Art? Crafts? DIY?
Gotta narrow it down before just picking a thing.
Might as well get started learning a technical skill of some kind, but yeah, narrow down the specifics of your interests.

Ok, Edited.
Get into pixel art maybe
cooking can be inexpensive and you need to eat anyway, learn a few recipes.
origami is incredibly cheap to get into and can occupy you for hours, and it can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be
thrifting or hitting up yard sales is inexpensive and fun and sometimes you can find things for really cheap that can be resold at a much higher price, like recently I picked up an '80s BMX bike from goodwill for $10 that had a fork on it worth close to $2000
I know you didn't mention music but I'd recommend picking up guitar or something.

Where would I start there?
How not to get grounded for a long time
Cooking or graphic design stuff. Film editing, maybe, or animation.

Try some simple recipes first, then. Pastas and burgers, sort of thing. Work your way up to more complicated stuff, and cook for the family once a week or so. They'll appreciate it, and you'll be learning something a lot of people never bother to put much effort into, even for themselves.
Listen to them for sure, cooking is super fun and rewarding too.
Get a knot tying book.
100% serious, learning how to tie different knots easily is a very useful skill to use later on. And it's something you can spend hours doing mindlessly while you think about stuff.
what did you do OP? WE MUST KNOW
Learn to make YTPs.

OK better dont
I did some origami last night, made a tiny axe thx lol
I picked up the saxophone a few years back and I feel it really added to my life. No need to pay for expensive classes, you can be self-taught. It's also a pretty easy instrument to start with and you can get crazy good with it.
Saxophones are pretty expensive though so I strongly recommend a used instrument for a beginner. Alto is usually what people start with, although I started out with a tenor.
Learning to write is easy and also really fun, give it a try
