What do you do with your free time?

Great idea for a thread! :)

However, I should warn you in advance that I have major problems with procrastination. ^_^

1) About how many hours a day do you have free time (not including time you use to study)?

Technically, I really can only afford to spend maybe 2 or 3 hours a day for “free time”. However, I usually end up spending anywhere up to 7 hours a day doing non-academic activities, not including sleeping, eating, and “getting ready”.

2) About how many hours a day do you have classes (I know it varies but Im curious)?

On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have 2 hours of school a day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have 3 1/2 hours of school a day. I’ve also got an online class. Keep in mind that this is the lowest amount of classes I’ve ever had in college, save for summers (when I usually have 2-4 classes).

3) What do you do on your free time (please be specific)?

I generally:


read the news
watch Youtube videos (late night talk shows, comedy sketches, political “stuff”)
gather as much knowledge as I can just by reading all sorts of things (nutrition, international relations, martial arts, etc)
read forums, such as this, and occasionally post on them
all sorts of music stuff (I’ve cut down on this a lot lately; too busy)
I bike and walk to and from school, so I don’t really need to get much extra exercise


4) How much of your free time do you spend participating in school activities (parties or not)?

Well, I’m a founding member of my school’s Accounting Society (as well as its webmaster), so I usually attend a one-hour meeting each week.

5) Can you have free time on the weekends without studying much?

I hardly ever study on the weekends. I ALWAYS end up regretting it, though. :)
