<p>a lot of you guys seem to be really interesting people who have lives and all, but i still can't see how you have time to study, do extracurriculars, hold jobs, do community service, practice for the ACT/SAT/SAT II/AP tests, and god knows what other amazingly prestigous stuff you do, and at the same time go out w/ friends or go shopping. or maybe it's called time management. i don't know. i study A LOT (i swear to god, maybe 6 hours on non-busy days and 4.5 hours on busy days - that's ok, a lot of people don't believe me), and i do lots of other activities, but i still find time to practice for act/ap tests (not much time, tho) and talk to friends on the phone and stuff. just wondering what you guys do. </p>
<p>i am especially interested in kids on the east coast. seriously, you guys seem so "nerdy" in some ways that i can't even explain. like i was at this northwestern program, and there's a girl from pennsylvania in my class, and she told me that her mom reads the books that are assigned in class to help her out. i was like, my parents don't give a sh** about what i read. so, i am kinda wondering about this type of stuff.</p>
<p>on weekdays I study and do ECs but I still have time to rest. On weekends I go to a SAT prep course on saturday, but I have plenty of time to do other stuff. Of course on sunday I do homework. This weekend is not like that though. I'm reading the chemistry textbook(read about 350 pages) and doing a lot of homework.</p>
<p>I'm from New Jersey, and I'm only half-way nerdy :P</p>
<p>Weekdays:
School until 2:09
After school until 4 - 4:30 (crapload of extracurriculars)
Eat and sleep till around 6 (to recover from previous night's staying up)
HW until 2:30 AM (avg time; i've had plenty of all-nighters, though)</p>
<p>Fridays:
School until 2:09
After school until 4
Tennis till 7 or so
Decompression time and hang around with friends till 10:00
HW until 1 or so (I just can't help it)</p>
<p>Sat and Sun
Wake up around 9:30 - 10
Finish breakfast, watch some TV until 12
Do HW (either book work or library work or whatever) until 7 (dinner)
Watch some more TV until 10
Do HW until 1 again...</p>
<p>It's not as bad as it may seem, because as much as I try to help it, pointless web surfing and incessant IM-ing mixes in with HW time. Plus, music keeps me going.</p>
<p>Next year will be worse though, because I'll have college apps, more leadership positions on ECs, a job, classes at nearby university and possibly some research going on.</p>
<p>Oh, and I BS test prep, since I hate standardized tests with a vengeance.</p>
<p>I don't really study much...at all...I probably do about an hour of homework per night on average. There comes a day here and there that I have more than that. I do most of my work in my other classes because I am a bum. I do as little as I can to stay in the top 10% of my class, taht was my goal in high school and I made it...only just (10/121). Anyway and all my extra curriculars don't really have any official commitment...I do art, that's about it. I do it whenever I want. I didn't do a ton of community service, what I did i did during the summers mainly.</p>
<p>My typical days</p>
<p>Weekdays - wake up zone through school come home eat something fall asleep around 4 wake up between 5 and 6 then sit around til i eat dinner, then talk to friends and sit around and do random things til I crash around 11:30/12</p>
<p>Fridays I do something immediately after school usually, then I go out around 6/7/8, then I come back anywhere from 1 oclock to 4 or 5 oclock in the morning. That pretty much goes for the rest of my weekend.</p>
<p>I dont know, i do as much social life as i can without harming my schoolwork too badly. If i never went out I'd probably have straight A's (ie my sister in high school) OR i could go out all the time nad get A's and B's and STLIL get into all my colleges yesssssssssssss which would yuo choose?</p>
<p>Uh....well...Friday nothing was going on so I just got high and watched The Wall (the Pink Floyd movie). That lasted until about 3:30.</p>
<p>Saturday I went to a BBQ, then picked up some 40s and went to a party. Got pretty messed up, just sat around and made conversation. Got a ride home at about 4:30.</p>
<p>I don't know about you all, but around here parties will generally go until 4ish. Sometimes I'll go get food afterwards. Pretty typical weekend. During cross country season I don't do anything Friday since I have meets on Saturday.</p>
<p>I go out with friends once or twice every month. My schedule is too cramped like some of the above posters for average unproductive teenage activities.</p>
<p>Maybe I should clarify. I'm insanely busy for most of the week, what with school, homework, extracurriculars and such, but the simple act of not scheduling any structured activity or extracurricular on Friday afternoon gives me one full evening (usually 3 pm to 10 pm) when I can go out, be with my friends, and have fun. I take care of studying on the weekend.</p>
<p>Uh, are you clarifying for me? Cause if so, what you just wrote is exactly how i understood what you wrote to mean. So maybe I should clarify: I have a busy schedule, therefore I don't have a lot of time for movies and such. I think you misunderstood me.</p>
<p>.........i barely have any extracurricular activities after school except sport practises....................
On weekdays, I watch alot of Tv and movies and I study about 1.5 hours a night. Sometimes I go out with friends.
I leave my Friday nights free along with my Saturday mornings.
I leave my Saturdays free.. (just going out wit friends and sh t) RULE- no parties on Saturday nights.
I become "Serious Jane" on Sundays where I study for tests, do homeowrk that's due on Monday.
So basically, my fun party nights are on fridays.</p>
<p>intoxicatednight -- No, it wasn't directed at anyone specific. I just reread my post later and realized I'd been incredibly concise, and figured I should add the detail. No worries :)</p>
<p>I should be preparing for my Ap psychology exam next month, but instead im back to my video game life with my ps2 playing crash bandicoot.......~_~......I hang out on fridays....and online everyday.......yeap EVERYDAY.</p>
