Learn Online

Get Connected 

If you prefer to learn in-person rather than online, consider taking some extension classes at your local community college or volunteering at a charity. Connecting with people who have similar interests will expand your social network as well as encourage continuous learning. The people you meet will be sure to challenge your learning and facilitate socialization.

While the aforementioned tips might seem great, you may still be wondering what topic/activity is right for you. Below are three ideas to get you started. 

Love Dogs? 

If you have the time and energy and are willing to make a

long-term commitment, consider adopting a dog as a way to learn new dog-training skills (https://www.rover.com/blog/important-dog-training-skills/).You could also visit your local dog park to meet new people, volunteer at a local animal shelter, or watch online training videos. Amaze your friends and family with how quickly you can teach your dog (or four-legged walking partner) to obey. Useful in so many situations, "sit" is often the first command dogs learn. In fact, most dogs "sit" on their own, so all you have to do is connect the command to the behavior. Once the "sit" command is mastered, there are so many more tricks to learn and then teach to your canine companion. 

Crazy About Crafts?

Pinterest is the place to get great crafty ideas   (https://www.pinterest.ph/categories/diy_crafts/).If you've read or heard about an interesting craft or craft technique and not sure how to go about it, you can look for how-to videos on YouTube. From ceramics to wood and everything in between, there's something to learn if you are interested in knowing more about a particular topic. 

Food Fanatic?
