Do you see yourself cubing in the very long future?

[Andreaillest]

Basically the question is asking if you still see yourself cubing when you're a in college or as an adult. Or just anywhere 10 years later.

For me, I doubt I am. I might cube here and there, but I don't see myself taking it as seriously as I do now. I'm going to college soon and I see that my friends and school will take my attention away from the cubes. I have a lot of things I want to do right now and as of right now I don't see myself cubing in the future. But who knows what will happen.

Okay, your turn.

Probably not, at some point, I think I would just get tired of it. I've had various hobbies in the past, and I've even thought "there's no way I could ever stop doing this, because I love it so much"... but you know... as the years go by, certain things lose that magical spark that they once had.

I can't see myself not involved in the cubing community. I often think of how cubing will be like long term, since cubing is still very very young. It's questions like these that keep me up at night :/.

Well, I'm just 13 right now and I still see myself cubing until my fingers are so frail that i won't be able to move the layers at all!

I hope so. I love cubing. Someone beat me up if I ever stop.

 

[elcarc]

i love cubing, its the only thing ive ever done for over a year (besides football, but thats a physical sport). i doubt ill stop

Well, I've been into lot's of internet/real-life hobbies. Most of them were stopped because they either got very expensive, or their Maximum limits were reached. As for cubing it's very inexpensive and 0.01's the limit... So I see myself cubing in College and stuff. Another problem with my other hobbies was they didn't look very sophisticated... as in people would say "Wow you modify nerf guns?" but when I cube people say "Wow you can solve one of those!". Also, this hobby has a organized system while most internet hobbies just have forums and occasional meet ups.

Yes, I see myself cubing in the long-term future.

 

[vrumanuk]

I certainly hope so.

 

[Gurplex]

YES
i want to sub 1 on 5x5
although, i will probably go on and off for a while

 

[oskarasbrink]

i don't think i'll stop until i get things to do (homework , another hobby,or just other stuff ) because cubing is pretty much the only thing i do except from floorball , golf and school

 

[Quaddro]

I see myself cubing for at least 5 years from this point.

I love to memorize anything since I was a little. Capital cities, world history, holy qur'an, friends birthdays, numbers (not phi, it's useless), etc. So I really can see myself doing BLD in the future. I need to keep my memory sharp and I love to do so.

 

[JTW2007]

(not phi, it's useless)

Can't it be used to determine the n-th Fibonacci number?

 

[Chuck]

Can't it be used to determine the n-th Fibonacci number?

And will the n-th Fibonacci number be any use for my life?

I'll probably still cube a little in 10 years, but things would be very, very wrong if I still had them all on my desk and practiced for hours a day.

In a shorter long term, I'm bored of 3x3 CFOP, I'm now more interested in getting into ZZ and seeing if I can be the fastest in the world with it. I think I might get into more side events too (BLD, SQ-1 & megaminx), and learn EG finally.

 

[waffle=ijm]

no. (I can't see the future)

 

[elcarc]

no.

 

[cmhardw]

As someone who's made it past the 10 year mark, I can say that cubing has not really lost any of the "spark" for me, though my interests and focuses within cubing have certainly changed quite a bit.

I hope I'm still cubing in 10 years. In 10 years I forsee that I'll be married (or at least engaged - I hope) and might not have the same amount of time to dedicate to the hobby, but I will of course still set aside time to practice each week.

I certainly hope I don't lose interest in cubing, but I guess that is always a possibility :-/
