Twenty-five individuals volunteered to share their hobbies with the Tech community.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cOne of the most popular was a student who did spray paint art in his spare time. He let others make paintings and take them home with them,\u201d Webber said. \u201cAnother popular activity was the bubble soccer, which Kappa Sigma had rented for their \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/kappasigmagames.com\u0022\u003EKick the Stigma\u003C\/a\u003E event this weekend but was kind enough to let us borrow as well.\u201d Rock collections, fencing, breakdancing, and acts of encouragement were also featured.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.counseling.gatech.edu\/content\/462\/peer-counseling\u0022\u003EBurdell\u2019s Buddies\u003C\/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.wreckless.gtorg.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EWreckless\u003C\/a\u003E both have similar missions, both working to promote healthy lifestyles for students on campus. Wreckless\u0026nbsp; provides students with alternatives to the typical college party scene by hosting campuswide sober parties each semester. Burdell\u2019s Buddies focuses on mental health and works in collaboration with the Georgia Tech Counseling Center.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cA lot of students come into college and don\u0027t find people to continue sharing their hobbies with. Oftentimes this can lead to the adoption of unhealthy stress-relieving habits and activities,\u201d Webber said. \u201cHaving a healthy activity to keep your mind off of school can be incredibly impactful towards mental health and a more fulfilling college experience. Also, it\u0027s just really cool to see all the creative and amazing things that students on this campus are passionate
