Shopping
Shopping is perhaps one of the other addictive activities/hobbies one could get up to, well that’s if you have the money. Luckily there is what we call window shopping , that is shopping whereby one just gets in and out of shops viewing the items but not buying anything but just admiring, so shopping is not only for those with money but it’s for all of us.
One can therefore shop for different and several occasions, some shop for clothes, some shop for food, some shop for material things like furniture, some shop for cars, and the list goes on and on. With the new technology that has emerged in the 21st century, there is also what we call online shopping whereby you buy whatever you need online without going to the shop physically and the item you have bought will therefore be delivered to you. So as one can see. There is actually more to shopping than just getting into a shop and picking up an item.
Shopping is so addictive that one can become bankrupt because of shopping. Some people to an extent that they have nothing in their accounts, to an extent that they don’t even have a cent not even affording to buy bread, that’s how addictive shopping can get. So not that shopping is bad, its good, but one should be able control themselves and their money. So let’s shop but also be safe on the other hand.

Business
Any actions undertaken by individuals or companies, such as buying, selling, marketing, or investing, for the purpose of generation profits or developing economic opportunities. Every business wants to earn profit for their survival or retaining competitive edge over others but nothing can happen without customers. If any business wants to survive in society they should think about their customers first then profits. So according to me, business is business not only for business.

Although some think that gambling is an illegal act, some take it very seriously and has made it their everyday activity which provides for them and their families with the profit which they make after gambling. "Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and or material goods. Gambling thus requires three elements be present: consideration, chance and prize". (Helpguide.org)
Apart from all this, gambling can become a problem in one’s life and it is very addictive. There have been scenarios of people who tended to become addicted to gambling to an extent that they lose their cars, houses, jobs, wives and children just because of being addicted to gambling, so as one can see, gambling does not only come with the benefits of prizes, there are also consequences which one needs to deal with if they decide to be a gambling addict. You may think you can’t stop but, with the right help, you can overcome a gambling problem or addiction and regain control of your life.
So do not let gambling control your life in a negative manner, if you consider it as a fun activity in your life, just maintain control over it, and don’t therefore make it a lead in your life because it may end up destroying your life and people close to your life.

Dancing is an activity which individuals use to enhance their talent. Dancing can therefore be a talent which some people don’t have although some people dance for fun and some people dance as a hobby and some dance as a profession.
"Dance is the art form in which human movements becomes the medium for sensing, understanding, and communicating ideas, feelings and experiences".(MPS). Dance provides a way if learning, one that develops communication abilities, problem solving techniques and creative and critical thinking skills.
Now with regards to the elements of dance, dance has its own content, vocabulary, skills, and techniques, which must be understood and applied to be proficient in art. "The elements of dance are the foundational concepts and vocabulary for developing movement skills as well as understanding dance as an art form". (Minneapolis public schools, MPS).
Although dance is viewed as art, it can also be viewed differently to some individuals, dancing may tend to relieve stress for some, reduce boredom for others, keeps people’s minds off things and more. So dancing can be viewed from different perspectives depending on who you are and what it means to you. So if dancing is considerate in your life, just go for it.

Clubbing! Clubbing! Clubbing! Yes clubbing, One of the easiest lifestyles to adapt to. Clubbing has become one of the most popular and easiest lifestyles to adapt to, especially for teenagers and young adults, and unbelievably men and women over the age of 40, yes over 40. Many may wonder what is the use clubbing, well I sometimes ask myself the same thing but I do it anyway.
People go clubbing for different reasons, some go to make money, some go there to look for love and some go just to have fun, by fun meaning dancing all night non-stop, yes that’s the life we have gotten ourselves used to. Grown men go clubbing to look for these young girls just for a one night stand then wake up the next morning not even remembering their names or where they even met the previous night, isn’t that sad? But it all comes back to just one word, Clubbing.
I sometimes ask myself what are the benefits of clubbing and weather it’s going to get us anywhere and I never come up with a solution, but what can I say, they all say it’s all about the fun in it and one will figure the rest out later, not that clubbing is a proper thing to do, but if you are having fun why not do it?
