  1. “Good” beer
  2. Basketball
  3. Watching videos at all (Facebook, YouTube, IG Stories, etc)
  4. The Office (see also: Parks and Rec)
  5. Cars
  6. Gadgets
  7. Literally any ‘reality’ tv show ever
  8. Celebrity anything
  9. Any video game whatsoever

  4. Writing
  5. Writing code
  6. Writing music
  7. Red Bull
  8. Emo
  9. Ska
