How much time do you spend on ECs?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm doing another survey for my tutoring club(I started the AP offered vs taken thread too). I want to give the students in my club a general idea of how much time other students are spending for their ec activities such as sports, clubs, work, volunteer, science fair etc during a typical (average) school week. DO NOT include summer activities. Please participate ONLY if you're a high school student based on current/previous records and not on projections. Thank you!</p>

<p>I’ll start first
45~50 hrs/week (my family biz consumes about 80% of my time)</p>

3

<p>Sorry mistake ----
45-55hrs</p>

4

<p>About 11 hrs, but now, its probably going to be about 20 hrs-30 hrs.</p>

5

<p>2-3 hrs per day</p>

6

<p>2-3 hrs per day as well.</p>

7

<p>About 20 hours per week. That’s now that play rehearsals are going on. Typically it’s more like 10.</p>

8

<p>30ish hours per week including jobs. About 10 of that is volunteer, clubs etc. and 20 is working.</p>

9

<p>3 hours per day. About 20 hours a week. It used to be around 27.</p>

10

<p>About 30-35 hours.</p>

11

<p>5 hours per week about?</p>

<p>I need my sleep :D</p>

12

<p>I have weight lifting for sport at 6-7 am M,W,F and sports practice 1:30-4:30 M thru F. I also have club practice 6:30-9:30 two days a week. I also have games on the weekend. So I spend way too many hours.</p>

13

<p>Usually around 2-3 on weekdays… (sometimes more; thursdays it’s usually about 5)
Saturdays: ~4 hours</p>

<p>In total: between 15-20 hours… Not including actual events. (science bowl, marching band games/parades during the fall, masterminds meets, etc)</p>

<p>But seriously, people claiming over 30; I just don’t believe… unless you do most of it on the weekends…</p>

14

<p>15 hrs… soon to be 20</p>

15

<p>Like 10 hours a week but occasionally it’ll bump up to 20 hours if including weekends.</p>

16

<p>See, 10-20 hours sounds more reasonable… But 40-50? C’mon now… >…<</p>

17

<p>@LesleyCordero
Work=18-24 hr weekdays+13-20 weekends
Clubs=~5 hr
Volunteer=~5hr</p>

<p>Homework? On days I work —11:30pm-2:00</p>

<p>= life sucks</p>

18

<p>How do you work 20 hours on weekends (over 2 days)? Isn’t there a limit of 8hrs/day?</p>

19

<p>so 4 hours a day monday through friday. Then you have another 4 total on weekends. so like 24 per week. I would probably add a few more for events that are not weekly. Then, If you include classes I am taking out of school, i would say 40 a week.:)</p>

<p>@Lesley: Over 30 hours is killer but manageable. I do between 10 and 15 hours of online tutoring a week and often I do my homework while tutoring. My other big ECs are done primarily on the weekends, taking up almost all my time then, and the rest are after school, before school, or during lunch hours.</p>
