In a typical week, I walk a lot, because I don't have a car and my apartment is about twenty minutes from campus. So that's already almost an hour of walking every day. Apart from that, I play basketball with some friends on Saturday mornings, and I try to go to the gym twice a week, usually on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I'm not always consistent with the gym, to be honest, but basketball is something I never miss, because it's fun and social.

One meal I'll never forget was a dinner at my grandmother's house when I got my university acceptance letter. She prepared all of my favorite dishes, including a fish stew that takes her almost a whole day to cook. The food was delicious, but what made it special was the atmosphere. My whole family came, even my uncle, who lives three hours away, and everyone was proud of me. It was the first time I felt that my hard work at school really meant something to other people.

Yes, I think libraries will stay important, although their role will keep changing. Many people already read online, so libraries may need fewer printed books. But they offer things that the internet can't easily replace: quiet places to study, free computers and internet access for people who can't afford them, and community events like language classes. In my hometown, the library is one of the few public spaces where teenagers can spend time without paying anything. So I think libraries will become more like community centers.
