<p>i mean we have so few classes that even tho I do quite a lot of study, i have too much free time! (which is a good thing ^_^)</p>
<p>like for example, today i had class from 9:30 till 10:45, studied at the library until 2:30 (1 hour lunch break between), had class from 2:30 ~4, and thats the end of my day.</p>
<p>so i can bum around/drink/party after 4
anybody feeling the same thing?
and i dont go to some community college either (its a tier 1 school)</p>
<p>i have the same time but READING takes up most of the rest of my time</p>
<p>Uh, I would stick around till hardcore psets/papers/exams hit. Or until you take weeder courses...But yeah, college is fa-mazing.</p>
<p>College for me is ridiculously hard right now. It may be because I am taking on way too much. I filled most of my elective classes already with AP tests and I tested out of a lot of classes for my major. I am involved with clubs, and I have track 4 hours a day. However, it does force me to get my work done on time.</p>
<p>I have 16 units with a job and trying to stay on crew. Is it NOT easy for me!!! I feel so depressed because I might have to give up crew because I'm demanding so much time from myself.</p>
<p>High school requires a minimum of 7 or so hours a day, no matter what classes you take or what you do outside of school. </p>
<p>College is different. You decide what to make your experience like. Yes, you can get by (even in some very good schools) without doing a lot of work, but why would you want to? Aren't you there to learn/experience as much as you can?</p>
<p>7 hours? lmao. Thats more than I studied all year.</p>
<p>"so i can bum around/drink/party after 4"</p>
<p>Or you could be diving into some productive ECs that would be fun and would give you skills that would help you discover a career path and would eventually impress prospective employers and graduate schools.</p>
<p>It's your choice.</p>
<p>heh northstarmom i am involved in lots of ECs (soccer, orchestra, volunteer at animal shelter), but most of these take up time during lunch breaks! and even on some days these happen have 4, i still have like free time from 7 oclock ><</p>
<p>i guess its been quite esay for me because i havent had lots of assignments, but we'll see how things get when the mid terms close on hehe</p>
<p>eos,
I've been wondering about that, too. My son has alot of school work as an engineering major, a job and music lessons and ensemble rehearsals. But he also says that his classes are pretty easy ... just a lot of busy work. I don't think he has much time or inclination for drinking and partying, though. We'll see when semester grades come in!</p>
<p>My son WISHES college were that easy. He has 19 units, including two bands, and must spend hours a day practicing his instrument, as well. With private lessons, ensembles, and classes, he sometimes has classes (with some breaks, but not long ones) from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. And then homework to do after that.
Count your blessings, eos!</p>
<p>Elitism: I meant that you have to be in class for 7 hours, not that you have 7 hours of homework.</p>
<p>I have like 7 hours of free time every day (from 12 am to 7 am), most of which I use to sleep (sometimes, I use like 3 - 4 hours of those 7 hours to do homework). So yeah, college is meant to be THAT easy.</p>
<p>eos,
Do you mind my asking where you attend or what your field of study is?</p>
<p>Eh I don't think it's that easy. 16 credits with 26 hours of class (darn chem major) doesn't leave a whole lot of extra time...</p>
<p>I have enough free time to keep from getting stressed out, but not really that much, except on weekends.</p>
<p>eos - what college are you in? It sound's like you're really enjoying yourself!</p>
<p>I'm a freshman taking 20 credits and am involved with several clubs.</p>
<p>I still have way too much time to just sit around with friends watching crap TV and surfing Facebook and (unfortunately gossip and eat junk food etc).</p>
<p>And yet, I never find enough hours to get a decent amount of sleep.</p>
<p>Such is college life, I think.</p>
<p>Wow I'm a junior and I'm only taking 12 units, plus building government, and that has basically sucked up nearly all of my free time!</p>
