Homework on the weekend?

<p>It's midterms time at my college - is it sad to do homework on Saturday? </p>

<p>I don't have classes on Friday, but I went to work, took a nap, went to dinner/hung out with friends. Now I have a really stupid essay I have to write and I think I'm going to have to work on it tonight. I have this essay due tomorrow night at midnight and a midterm on Tuesday. I need to finish the essay, go away for some time, and then look at it again, so I really wanted to finish writing it today.</p>

<p>I don’t usually do any work on Saturdays, but occasionally I’m just swamped and I have to. Happens probably once or twice a semester. I think everyone has to go through it sometimes.</p>

<p>I feel better about it now that I think about it. I went to a movie/hung out on Thursday, so I didn’t do work then, and I didn’t do any hw on Friday, and Mon-Wed are my worst days of the week. So everything is concentrated on the weekend anyways, and its h*ll if I don’t get it done.</p>

<p>This thread has already made me depressed for how working Saturdays during the day was pretty normal at my school. :(</p>

<p>Lol RacinReaver. All-day Sundays is pretty normal here. I’m talking about Saturday evening/night though - pretty sure that wasn’t normal???</p>

<p>You normally don’t do homework on Saturdays? I do work and study every day of the week, including holidays and breaks.</p>

<p>you don’t “do” homework on saturdays?</p>

<p>what is this? a party school?</p>

<p>For people that don’t do homework on Saturday’s often/at all, you must have an extremely easy major. I do homework every single weekend because my classes for my major require a lot of work. So to answer the question, no it’s not sad to be doing homework over the weekend. It’s actually NORMAL for people.</p>

<p>I can’t remember the last Saturday that I DIDN’T do homework. I have classes Monday through Thursday, and I do homework Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I try to get as much done as I can on the weekend, so that I’m not swamped during the week, and trying to balance my classes, work-study obligations and various study groups with all of my other homework.</p>

<p>I would think that MOST people do most of their homework on Saturdays/Sundays. During the week I’m extremely busy, so I usually spend just about all day Saturday and Sunday doing homework (which includes writing papers, reading, etc). If you don’t want to do homework on Saturday nights then get it done beforehand.</p>

<p>I do hw almost every day… I mean sure, it’s kinda sad if you’re sitting at home at like 10pm on a Saturday, but just try and get it done earlier in the day? That sounds completely normal to me.</p>

<p>I guess I’m pretty sad then, because I was at home doing homework at 10pm last night. But, I don’t drink or party or anything…and rarely really “go out” anymore. I spent most of my time in high school and the few years in between high school and college doing basically nothing but partying though, so I really don’t feel much of a need to go out and do a whole lot anymore. For the most part, I’m content to sit at home and do homework and study. I get enough of a social life at school during my breaks between classes.</p>

<p>I’d be very concerned if I was taking a major that doesn’t necessitate studying/homework on weekends. Call me a snob, I don’t care, but you must be going to a diploma mill or something if your workload is so light that you don’t have work nearly every weekend.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No problem. You’re a snob.</p>

<p>Guys, I do homework on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My major is extremely difficult. This was about Saturday night or maybe Friday night. As in 10pm</p>

<p>How much time you spend on homework doesn’t correlate exactly to how hard your major is… maybe how stupid you are. (Sarcasm, people. Please don’t kill me :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>Oh thank god for some of these recent responses. I thought I was a loser for doing homework on Saturday from op and the first couple responses.</p>

<p>Haha Lily2015. Everybody, its fine to do hw on Saturdays and Sundays. You probably should/will be, unless your major is too easy. Or you’re too smart.</p>

<p>It is sad and can lead to burnout, but at a serious school, are you going to fail if you don’t? Most likely</p>

<p>The weekend is when I do all my homework. Generally, I spend Thursday to Sunday doing my work for the upcoming week, thereby giving myself time to study for tests/quizzes, go to clubs, etc. during the week. I don’t know many people who don’t do any work on the weekends. That’s pretty rare at my college…if you want to actually pass your classes, that is.</p>
