Recently, I have been trying new ways to keep my self occupied as a lot is happening right now. And I am sure many of you are facing the same problems. So, what do you do that makes you happy? A Hobby? Out with your friends, partying? Gigs? Tell me about it!

I like to travel and see new places, take photos, write, read, listen to music, make music, cycle, play badminton/squash, watch films and anything that makes me laugh, and spending time with friends is always good too. So erm, not much... You're right, I think it's better to keep yourself occupied rather than dwelling on things too much.

That all sounds so fun. It makes me feel like I really don't do enough with my life! It's a real inspiration. I wish travelling didn't cost though.

Travelling doesn't have to cost that much. I camp or stay in hostels - a bed for £5 or £6 a night including breakfast in Poland and Romania last year, and there are still loads of cheap flights.

I recently lost someone close to me and I can definitely say keeping busy and keeping the mind active helps. At the time of it happening I had left college and had a month-ish before I started uni, because I had nothing to do beforehand I used to feel down all the time, but after a few weeks of uni I was a much better person because my brain was constantly being kept active, I'd definitely suggest a new hobby or a course which will keep you thinking or busy. I've also met some amazing people through uni which made everything a lot easier to deal with so a group or club or something is good for that 'cos you meet new people who carry new opportunities to do even more things! Uni has kind of made me happy in a way, 'cos it keeps me in routine and focused Going to Feeder gigs and meeting a lot of people off here always makes me happy, I more so enjoy the gigs more when I'm around the friendly fans! The last gig I went to on Thursday was great 'cos there was some really good people there as well as the gig being good in itself!

When I'm feeling a bit down, I always play my guitar - helps pick me right back up again I also play badminton and tennis, I think physically doing something like that helps me get any pent up aggression out in a positive way. And of course, there's always music to fall back on, there's always a song for whatever mood I'm in. And hanging out with friends always picks me up too

Picking up the guitar always helps, in any situation Depending on the weather, I sometimes go for a jog with the iPod on shuffle. Also I'm part of a six-a-side football team, I've been in a few local teams, but I figured it's much better when you're with people you know when you're not playing so seriously

I always like to listen to Feeder, spend time with mates in the weekend after watching the mighty, mighty Posh at London Road regardless of the result, before crashing round one of their flats at the end of the night!. Don't do clubs and just the local pubs, but do enjoy crashing round one of my mates houses with a few beers from the local supermarkets.
Going to see Feeder play live is another one I love, only done it once per year since 2001, but have ambitions to break that duck this year, love to meet the guys again, seems ages since Birningham 2010 when they did the Renegades thing and last year's early 2011 tour when I met them all with Damon on drums, with that being the Cambridge Junction.
Was going to see them at the late 2010 one, but didn't go 'cos of the set being possibly similar in which it was and the costs of travel!.
Outside of football, music and good times with my mates, I play bass guitar and also enjoy travelling. I've been to Slovakia, Latvia, Malta, Bulgaria and Albania so far. Got ambitions to see Canada, the United States and hopefully Peru!.
