Puzzles

By: Melissa Blish

When I’m not in school, I enjoy doing many things, like playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies. But one of my favorite activities outside of school is doing puzzles. I like doing puzzles because they are relaxing, and I can do them while listening to music. I love that I can take breaks between pieces, which is nice, unlike other hobbies where you have to focus on what you are doing. I also enjoy doing puzzles because I can do them with my family, which makes them better since we can talk about random things while figuring out where the pieces go.

I enjoy doing 1000-piece puzzles the most because they take longer, so I have something to do for a while. I’m not very sporty, so I’ve had to find other things to do when I have free time. While searching for ways to fill the time, I found puzzles, which are surprisingly fun when you do them with another person. They can get really boring if you do them alone, so I prefer to do them with someone else. I like puzzles because there are different theme puzzles, like Christmas ones for winter and Halloween ones for fall. Personally, I find puzzles relaxing and quiet, which can be nice for the end of the day.
