One of my favorite activities is going for a hike. I have hiked the santa monica mountains, part of the appalachian trail, and 20 miles in a rainforest in North Carolina. I also enjoy other small hikes on local trails in parks and small mountains. I enjoy hiking because it offers me a time to be with nature, get exersize, and get a nice tan if I go hiking on a sunny day.

I enjoy hiking most when I am doing it with friends. I think that hiking is a great time for conversation, and some of my favorite bonding moments with people are through hiking. In the future, I want to take my passion for hiking further, and I hope to one day climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

Another one of my favorite hobbies is attending sports games. I am a huge Phillies, Eagles, and Sixers fan. Whether it's watching the game on my phone, keeping up with the latest sports news via podcasts, or actually attending a game in person, this has been one of my favorite activities.

Since coming to USC, this passion for watching sports has continued, and I always enjoy the chance to catch a football or basketball game here. Also, I was able to go to a lakers game with friends during my first semester and had an incredible time.

Next march, I plan on going with my friends from philadelphia to watch the Lakers vs. Sixers game held at the crypto.com arena. I think this is a great example of how sports can bring people together.
