<p>K there's school and studying. What else? I don't want to be stuck at school and dorm all day ! Give me some inspiration by telling me your week's activities and stuff</p>
<p>Keep in mind that I'm a moderate partier/drinker, at a large university in a relatively small town:</p>
<p>Monday through Thursday--go to class, do some studying, hang out with friends, go to a club meeting, do some snowboarding in winter, go to athletic events, or round up some people for random games of Ultimate Frisbee on Central Campus or go to an intramural game if I had one that night.
Thursday nights--some partying "Thirsty Thursday", but not every week
Friday--go to class, go to a movie or party, or stay in and chill out with friends
Saturday--sleep in, go to an athletic event, party or hang out with friends, go to campus weekend events---there's a division of our Student Gov't that plans movie showings in 500+ seat lecture halls and alcohol-free events in the Union (Bingo, Twister, Bowling, etc), check out a free concert or something
Sunday--sober up (if applicable ;) ), do some studying, write the paper that's due on Tuesday that you were going to start three weeks ago but havent even chosen a topic for, and make sure you know when exams/quizzes are for the upcoming week.</p>
<p>Then repeat. This is pretty general and leaves alot open, but you get the point.</p>
<p>And if you've got the itch to get away from campus for a weekend, get some friends together and take a weekend trip to a lake or nearby city to do some mall shopping or make a trip home to see old friends.</p>
<p>mon - work
tues - work
wed - work
thurs - work
fri - work, go out to eat or order in or party
sat - sleep, go out, maybe a little work if I have tons but usually I like my saturday to be work free
sun - sleep, go out, work</p>
<p>i haven't yet been to more then one meeting for any given club (I get bored)</p>
<p>of course random events happen during the week, it's not work 24/7 mon - thurs but it is just about the only constant..I'll hang with people but the people/places/times/venues change (I'm not really with one social "group" but hang out with different groups...which apparently isn't normal but works for me =)</p>
<p>"go out" can be anything from parties to seeing a movie to trying a new restaurant to walking around staring at walls to annoying girls to shopping for some random item etc etc</p>
<p>Monday and Tuesday - classes and homework, usually watch some television late and order some delivery. IM sports if they're that day</p>
<p>Wednesday - same as Monday and Tuesday except we used to funnel beers this night as part of the tradition of "Funnel Wednesday" because all my work was due Wednesday and I was pretty much done for the week.</p>
<p>Thursday and Friday - same as before except I drank these days every week, not just occasionally. I mean, unless I had a test Friday, but that was rare.</p>
<p>Saturday - I work decently when I'm hungover so I do most of my work on the weekends, helps clear my schedule for drinking as well ... then drink</p>
<p>Sunday - same as Saturday but without the drinking.</p>
<p>Pretty uneventful actually.</p>
<p>my schedule is: feel sorry for myself, have GF troubles. Troll the internet. Drink with my friends. Play guitar. Study till 3 am. Sleep through 8am class, then get notes from friend. Procrastinate on facebook. Cram for 72 hrs straight on a caffeine binge. Go to nightclub. Hook up. Go to seedy bar, watch sports w/friends. Go to strip club, drink by myself. Trade forex/stocks/options. Contribute to finance club. Hope that my life will have meaning.</p>
<p>Um...first quarter I pretty much went to class, did lots of problem sets (BME), read tons of books/plays (Honors), went to study groups with friends, and on the rare occasion, actually went out and had fun. Most of the time dinner on campus with some friends was "fun time." I was going to do intramural volleyball for my dorm (which ended up getting third in the state), but my engineering class ran over into practice and then I had too much work for my classes...it sucked.</p>
<p>About halfway into the second quarter I changed my major to Finance and dropped Honors, though (engineering and honors weren't really what I was expecting, and I just wasn't happy in them), I went to class and then went to hang out with the guy I was seeing pretty much every night. I had dropped my Calc and Engineering class, so I only had Chem, Chem lab, Band, and a Private lesson.</p>
<p>Third quarter I had a full load, so I went to class, read for class, studied for tests, and still went out on a fairly regular basis to hang out with the guy I was seeing, play sports with him and other friends in the intramural center, go to movies, or go to dinner on or off campus. </p>
<p>Pretty much, if you're in any major that doesn't consistently take up hours of your time with homework, reading, and studying, you'll have plenty of time for fun when you get friends to go out with.</p>
<p>K guys, so how do you got about getting friends lol</p>
<p>monday-thursday: go to class, go to work, do stuff for an organization I'm in for an hour or so every day, hang out after class with people. do homework/read, occasionally.
friday- go to class, go to work, do swing dancing, go out and party after swing.
saturday- sleep in, get up and mess around for a few hours, watch some tv, do a little reading, go out and party at night
sunday- same thing as saturday except no partying, more reading</p>
<p>getting friends: talk to people in class, join an organization, meet people through people you've already met, etc. don't stick to the 2 people you met in orientation, branch out and be open to meeting new people, even people that might've made a not so hot impression the first time (give a second chance, but no more than that).</p>
<p>Work, guitar, computer.</p>

</p>
<p>Most of my friends are the ones I met in my classes first quarter and friends/roommates of theirs because my school sets up Honors Engineering into two different blocks (which basically just means there are two different engineering classes), so we all had the same classes even if one or two were at different times. We also had groups for our design projects, pretty much all lived in the girl's/guy's engineering dorm, and studied/worked/hung out together...so yeah, there was no way to not be friends with each other unless you were a complete hermit. </p>
<p>Then a lot of my other friends are people that I met through my older brother and then through them and so on. Oh, and can't forget about the friends that I met by being in the University wind ensemble.</p>
<p>Just try to be friendly, smile, answer questions anyone asks with more than a one or two word response (I hate when I try to be friendly and people give such short responses...it just tells me that you aren't interested even if you are), and approach others in classes and your dorm. Even if you only get a base of five or six friends, you'll meet a ton of people through them as well...so eventually you'll have a nice circle of friends. It just takes a little time and patience, but it's not that big a deal as long as you have a good attitude and realistic expectations.</p>
<p>making friends? get out of your room and talk to people on your floor, join a club, strike up a conversation with someone sitting by you in class, etc. i met my best friend the first day of class when we sat next to each other and by the end of class we were exchanging numbers and making plans for lunch. i dont think there was a day freshman year when we didnt at least talk to each other on the phone and i met her other friends, she met my other friends, we met other people from our major and now all of us are pretty tight.</p>
<p>how did you make friends way back in elementary school? you talked to people, except now its OK to talk to the opposite sex ;)</p>
<p>^ Same with one of my best friends at school. </p>
<p>She lived right across the hall from me, so my roommate and I asked her if she wanted to go to some introduction thing the day we moved in...and we had a good time (and met some other folks my roommate knew) so we went and got all our books...and then had dinner...baked goods were exchanged by the end of the week (lol)...and so on.</p>

<p>Of course there's random movie nights with friends and stuff that we do. I don't party so obvious that's missing. :P</p>
<p>Mondays I had my weekly sorority meeting.
Some Tuesday I had College Republican meetings.
Wednesdays were One Tree Hill watching parties.</p>
<p>And class. Studying. Random going to dinner, hanging out. Movie nights.</p>
<p>My schedule was pretty much all over the place but generally it went something like this:
Monday-Thursday - Class with homework in between till about 3. More homework/studying till about 6 usually. Some days I'd play pick-up games of football, every other week I had meetings on Wednesday and Thursday for engineering stuff. After 6 I'd either hang out with friends or do more homework. Ah... engineering... Around 8 I'd go to the gym, get back around 9:30, shower and watch TV/get online/watch a movie/hang out with friends. I'd do that till some time between 11 or 1 depending on when I had class the next day, then go to sleep.</p>
<p>Friday - Class till about three, maybe do a little homework if it's urgent till about 6, but from then on it's the weekend, and unless there's some HUGE project going on I'm dead to the academic world. Around 5 I would go down to the Math Empo (basically a giant computer lab off campus where we'd take tests for online classes) to take my weekly math test, and then go grocery shopping since Kroger was right next door. Get back around 6, eat, then I'd usually go for a quick run if it was nice outside. Get back and shower, either hang out or watch TV/get online till about 10, then I'd go out to a party. Pretty much every Friday there was a party somewhere, but if there wasn't I'd have a movie night with friends. We would sometimes drink some, so I guess that makes that a party too.</p>
<p>Saturday - Wake up around noon at the earliest (unless it's gameday with an early kickoff). See Friday after 6.</p>
<p>Sunday - Again, wake up around noon. Sundays I'd usually end up doing a lot of homework in the evening. The rest of the day was spent laying around or maybe playing football, basketball or volleyball outside.</p>
<p>The thing about college though is that the schedule is VERY variable. Any given day I might go to a baseball/basketball/football game, go with friends to see a movie, go on a date, whatever. At the end of last semester I finally got a steady girlfriend, so that changed things up somewhat. I'd do stuff with her on the weekends and in the evenings more. Also, around mid terms, finals, and papers being due you can scratch off most of the laying around, watching TV and getting online and write in homework/studying. </p>
<p>Making friends is pretty easy if you put forth any effort at all. The best place is on your floor, just leave your door open and people will wander in. It works, trust me. Since you'll be a freshman you can use the easy conversation starters like whats your major, where are you from, stuff like that. Then just ask them if they want you to get them when you're going going out to a movie or to play football or something, and bam, you've got friends. Joining clubs will give you more stuff to do too, and you cam make friends that way.</p>
<p>That's weird. Open your whole dorm door (not your room door) and people just wander in? Who taught kids this funny ritual?</p>
<p>Dorm door, room door, I lived in a one room two person dorm so it's all the same to me. Nobody taught anyone the "ritual," it's called being social. If you don't want people coming in, close the door. If you do want people coming in, open the door.</p>
<p>Last semester...</p>
<p>Monday: school, work, homework, call-my-friends-back-home-day
Tuesday: school, homework, clubs (not the dancing kind)
Wednesday: school, homework, more clubs, work
Thursday: school, designated sleep day, occasional fun day
Friday: school, volunteer work, and if not regular work, then party
Saturday: homework, volunteer work, regular work, occasional get-together/party
Sunday: cramming for that weeks' exam, work, sleeping because I knew I wouldn't get another chance until Thursday</p>
<p>That's with taking 16 credits, working 24 hrs/wk, belonging to 2.5 clubs (quit one mid-semester), and volunteering at least four hours/wk. </p>
<p>Meh. Go me.</p>
<p>MWF:
Wake up pretty early for class- classes/resting between classes until 3 ish. Take a break for an hour-2 hours
Start homework and studying until dinner
Usually take a small break after dinner/go to any meetings (they're usually in the evening) then finish up hw/studying and go to bed</p>
<p>T & TH
Sleep in a little, then go to my one or two classes on those days, probably a lab period as well
hang out with friends, then do some studying (i had Friday exams every other week -- screw chemistry)</p>
<p>Weekends:
Do whatever i want on Saturday, and then probably cram a lot of work in on sunday</p>
