Any kind of art (painting, photography, writing, macrame, candle-making, basket-weaving etc…), cooking/canning, repairing cars or any other kind of equipment, building/construction, sewing, self-teaching any topic of interest (a language, history of x, russian lit), hiking, biking, working out, raising prize-winning guppies…The possibilities are endless.

Do whatever you enjoy. The idea is to develop new skills and expand your world beyond the classroom and your immediate community. Show some intellectual curiosity. Demonstrate an ability to self-teach and self-motivate. Try to connect with others who share your interest so you meet people you might not otherwise. You don’t have to be great at it - just committed to learning and ideally making some sort of impact.
