<p>got a friend at harvard. got a friend at vanderbilt. got a friend at cornell U.
They are all getting a crap load of work to do.</p>
<p>Me on the other hand, am not busy... I'm taking 17 credit hours (about half are stupid freshmen engr intro classes) and I'm playing ultimate. Going to look for work but can't really work now - long story. Why?</p>
<p>I feel left out and sad because I don't want to graduate and turn out dumber than my friends.</p>
<p>After freshman year, or at least sophomore year, things will likely toughen up. My roommate is a freshman and doesn’t even have a quarter of the work I do.</p>
<p>I have a few 10-12 page papers to write per week, and about 400 pages of reading to do a week, sometimes more. Plus just regular studying. But I am a junior.</p>
<p>I feel busy but when I look back at the end of the day at what I actually did, I realize I’m not that busy with straight up schoolwork. It’s mostly “taking care of business” in terms of health, living independently, and other various activities. Lol, my friend at Harvard said she gets about 800 pages to read per week with a handful of papers.</p>
<p>freshman here… I get like 300 pages a week to read (of which i prolly read 200) and I have to write around 8 pages a week for all my classes combined, and I have to prepare around one speech/presentation a week</p>
<p>and I think it’s not that much work… Still have a lot of time to play intramurals, go work out everyday at the gym and have a fun weekend as well as go to a club meeting or two every week.</p>
<p>dam xptboy. Hats off to you bud</p>
<p>I think I’m going to compensate my lack of reading by reading one book/week. I’m not taking any history/english classes.</p>
<p>Pretty busy. I am taking 18 credits. Usually have around 400-500 pages of reading a week, 2-3 5-10 page papers, other various stuff crammed in there. </p>
<p>I also work normally around 15 hours a week. However, I am now coming home every weekend and working my dad’s two weekend jobs at home because he tore his ankle (we can’t afford to lose the money). </p>
<p>I still can hang out with friends, but I had to drop the only club I was in :(</p>
<p>I always read your username as “romanpigseyes.” I think I just now realized that’s not what it is.</p>
<p>It’s ok, someone used to call me “roaming pig eyes”. I think the various twists on my name are amusing :). I forgot to capitalize during registration… RomaniGypsyEyes is much easier to read than romanigypsyeyes lol.</p>
<p>I am actually known in real life by some people as TK now, so at least nobody is calling you roaming pig eyes in person. XD</p>
<p>Not very busy. I think it depends on what program you are in, not what university you attend. I’m glad I’m an engineer and not some English Lit major.</p>
<p>I’m a second year. I’m taking 15 units, in two clubs, and volunteering for this thing for a couple of hours a week. It’s not so bad right now, but I’m trying to be time efficient as best I can.</p>
<p>Agree with somni. I only have reading for the one humanities class I’m taking, for which I just use SparkNotes. Reading in the sciences is optional and only there if you don’t understand the concepts or want to go deeper into the ideas presented. Most of my workload comes from studying for exams and math homework, both of which one can learn to do efficiently. I’m in my 2nd year and it’ll probably get harder (higher maths, grad courses in bioscience, physical chem, etc.) but when that comes I’ll just spend less time ********ting on the internet (this site included).</p>
<p>umm 3 psets a week + 4 classes of reading (3 techie classes) + business freshman fellowship/internship thing lol + 2 intramural teams + church + 20 units + long distance relationship…</p>
<p>thats my basic schedule every week. i also throw in long term things like studying for midterms/working on papers. right now im stressed or anything…nearing the end of my third week in a quarter system. i just plan ahead a lot and make sure i finish the work when i plan to do it.</p>
<p>17 credits. All humanities except one (astronomy).
I read around 1000 pages a week at a minimum, must memorize at least 30 vocab words a day (Language). 4 hours of non paid work a week. 
I have at least one test every week and at least one paper due every week minimum 3 pages. </p>
<p>And yet I still go out until late during the week, and do nothing on the weekends. : )</p>
<p>21 credits, entirely engineering and CS.
11 hours/week of tutoring other students.
10+ hours/week of research
3 1/2 /week hours of TA</p>
<p>Not counting studying, I’m pretty busy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I always read it like that too.</p>
<p>17 credit hours, all of them chemistry or biochemistry courses
1 five hour lab
10 hours of research
20 hours of work
Then studying…</p>
<p>…I still have time to blaze on weeknights and get drunk on the weekends</p>
<p>I am t3h busiest.
300 hours of breathing.
80 hours of poking people.
27 hours of blinking
43 hours of pretending to be Chris Hansen.
4,676 hours of getting into arguments with the Merriam and Webster talking dictionary. </p>
<p>I win this bragging contest. None of yooz can out-busy me.</p>
<p>…I still have time to offer pedobear milk and cookies doing MSNBC primetime.</p>
<p>LOL, right now i’m supposed to be doing a 3 page paper… >.></p>
<p>My normal workload as a freshman is as followed:</p>
<p>5 hours per day (i normally do 1) of japanese
1 300 page book a week
2 more books each with about 100 pages
and sometimes i get any where from 1 - 3 essays which range from 3-6 pages…</p>
<p>hey I’m a junior in engineering and let me tell you something, freshmen year is a joke.
Taking 7 classes and doing research. I can barely manage it.</p>
<p>Is taking seven classes normal at your school? I’ve never heard of anyone taking more than five.</p>
