I live alone and I'm just wasting away my time here. It's actually making me very depressed to be honest. I do live in the city which makes think there ought to be at least something to do out here. Though I can't really afford to spent money on it every day.

So unless it's like a one time purchase or if the costs are actually that low. What do you think I should do?

chess or other board games are inexpensive and you can learn a lot and make friends along the way.

Fotography can be expensive, but if you do it just as a hobby, you could take your phone or get a cheap camera and try to get up early on weekends and take some photos of the city.

reading books, especially about animals (specifically birds) could be an option too.

I agree on board games.

See if there are Board Game shops in your city. If they have tables for Magic the Gathering you can check their calendar and usually find open board gaming nights. In my experience people usually bring a bunch of their own games and are open to new players. Some of the people in our group don't own any games; the rest of us are always bringing more than we can possibly play anyway.

If you see other players. Probably less awkward to try to find a club.
