I just graduated optometry school and I feel like I've lost a bit of my identity. I didn't have much free time to focus on the things that make me happy and now I'm lacking inspiration. I can't work until my license is approved so I've had days of doing nothing since May 7. It's been great but it's starting to get boring; I can only play so much Zelda and doom scroll so often.

So whatcha got? What do you like to do? What are some hobbies or passions everyone has? What are non-drinking related activities to do with a partner or friends?

I actually bought an acoustic to do some self lessons on during my externship year but couldn’t commit to one thing. I guess I need some guidance on the best way to approach it. Any suggestions for YouTube channels or books to follow?

If you’re going self taught, you can’t go wrong with JustinGuitar.com. He has some great lessons and it’s all free. You can upgrade and he has paid stuff, but I’ve never done them. If you are in the right place and can swing it, take some classes. If you find the right instructor it’ll be awesome. I didn’t take lessons for years but finally sprung for them. I don’t think it’s made a difference that I can tell but my wife says I’m paying much better.

JustinGuitar is the shit for free Find a School of Rock or an instructor to on-ramp faster.

I’ll check the site out, thanks for sending it. I do have an old buddy that opened his own studio so I’ll look him up and see what his openings are like! I am a decent self learner but there is always things you can learn better with proper instructions!
