I was always one of those people who never had a hobby or were interested in anything. I remember every time someone would ask me "what do you like to do in your free time." I would just say swimming, even though I never really liked swimming. Once, I became a senior in high school, my parents came up to me, and started asking me about what I want to major in college.
