<p>I have honestly never found myself bored over the weekend at Rice.</p>
<p>On normal weekends, you can always find parties on both Friday night and Saturday night. Typically, the big public parties are held on Saturday nights and Friday nights are more private, chill parties among specific friends groups, but there are always exceptions to this.</p>
<p>I usually sleep in on Saturday mornings but some people wake up a little earlier to go running, get a head start on some homework, whatever. Saturday afternoons I go out with my friends…shopping, watching sports games, playing powderpuff, running errands together, buying costumes for public parties, exploring downtown, whatever. If it’s a chill weekend and we have time, we might see a movie or something. Saturday nights are usually on the more wild side unless it’s finals weekend.</p>
<p>Sundays are super super chill. Usually my friends and I do our homework together. If it’s nice outside (which it basically is from October-March), we’ll walk to Rice Village together and get frozen yogurt or something to take a study break. Maybe this is just me but I tend to not get much homework done til Sunday night, when I freak out about how much I have to do, and then really crack down.</p>
<p>Also with regard to social life, keep in mind we have Fall Recess and Spring Recess. These are four-day weekends in the middle of fall and spring term respectively. They’re great for getting in a car with your friends and just going wherever–I went to Dallas over Spring Recess–or just relaxing at Rice and getting to know people you don’t usually hang out with.</p>
<p>I think there’s pretty much something for everyone here. If you want to be a crazy partier, or if you want to play Scrabble on Saturday nights, or anything in between–you will find others here who are into the same thing.</p>
