What did you do before you got into cubing?

[nlCuber22]

Videogames and sports but I still do those some.
For videogames I mainly played shooters/RPGs, but I was quite good at Guitar Hero/Rock Band, I'm still OK at them. Those games are addicting o_o

Mostly sports. I still play most of them, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, cricket, football, carrom, chess to name a few. Oh, and I'm a huge fan of SET. I also used to juggle a little, not very advanced though. I was a big fan of minesweeper and RCT(original) also before getting into cubing.

Nothing. My life was a void before cubing. Now, cubing is the only thing that supplies my life. Without it, I'd just be moving through life with no joy, much like my pre-cubing era.
I'm just kidding. Before cubing, I didn't have any lasting hobbies. I speedstacked for a month or two and I gamed a lot... besides that, I had very little hobbies that lasted

I was going downhill. My grades were awful (1.5 GPA) I was having self esteem issues. But know. After almost 2 years of speed solving, my grades have risen to a 3.6 GPA last semester, and my self esteem has improved.

-Playing MMOs. A lot of MMOs. Now I play occassionaly, last 3 months I haven't been playing any game and I feel good with it. But I will try Guild Wars II when it appears ;D

-Bike: street, freeride, little jumping ;D

-I like to spend every possible time to play football, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, tennis, etc. Sport is more important for me than cube. Cubing is very nice and I enjoy improving in it and solving many different cubes, but I know I will not be doing it forever. And there will be a moment when I decide to stop it or slow down it.
