<p>Although I will be attending The University of Iowa I have a sibling that attends Michigan State University. They told me how the Thursday-Sundays are basically like weekends. At The University of Iowa I think there is a requirement to have a class on Friday ( or either it was suggested by a few). I was just wondering what do most college students do on Thursdays-Sundays, typically the weekend days. For those who work in college do you complete most of your hours on a Friday, or possibly Sunday? Are these the days most students complete their studying hours? I am sure the majority of students have fun, and likely party but not at 7 am (example).</p>
<p>Whatever they want to do…</p>
<p>drink heavily, recover, then do it again - seriously</p>
<p>I have no classes Friday, and my Thursday classes end at noon. I do my homework Thursday afternoon, eat dinner, then go downtown or hang out at my fraternity house that night. Friday I wake up around noon, eat, work out, chill in my room and watch a movie or browse the internet while my friends have class, go out to dinner, then go to a party. Saturday I wake up, eat, hang out with friends, go out to dinner, then go to a party. Sunday I wake up around 1, eat, do laundry, hang out with friends, go out to dinner, then usually I watch TV or go running in the evening when my friends do their homework (which I did Thursday).</p>
<p>College is great.</p>
<p>whatever I can do to have fun :)</p>
<p>Last semester, I had four classes on Fridays, and I ended my day at 4:00pm. I spent the majority of Saturday afternoons in an economics lab playing with data for a research project (that ended up 53 pages long), and the nights were always completely free for, ahem, normal college activities. :)</p>
<p>Most people go to class on Thursday and Friday. For a while, I went out to the bars/frat parties/whereever Thurs, Fri, and Sat nights and studied hardcore Sun-Wed and Sat morning to compensate. I’ve since stopped drinking on Thursday nights because I’d sleep straight through my Friday classes.</p>
<p>If you want to party and take advantage of the de facto 3-day college weekend (and still get good grades), you definitely can, just be prepared to study really hard on the weekdays after class.</p>
<p>I’m always in class or at a club meeting until 5pm, but then I’m free after that. I usually use Friday night to relax, Saturday to study/do homework, and Sunday to relax again and plan the next week. [I’m not a partier, but if I were, I’d have plenty of time for it during the weekend.] Generally, I just like to have the time off if I want it, but I usually choose to catch up or get ahead.</p>
<p>I do almost all my homework on the weekend, or else my weekday workload would not be manageable. I take Friday off to visit boyfriend and I volunteer Sunday morning. The rest of the time is spent working either on schoolwork or my student org.</p>
<p>But then I do almost no homework during the week, maybe a paper or two and 20-50 pages of reading a day. I am too tired after a full day of classes to accomplish much more than that effectively, by 6pm I need a break.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies interested in more.</p>
<p>Depends on the student. Some will drink through the weekend, some will study, most do some mix of that.</p>
<p>Honestly, either do HW, or have fun w/ friends. By have fun, it can mean drinking, parties, playing games on xbox, going out to the mall, eating dinner, movies, clubs, etc. This year, I’ve been working on HW a lot, and just going on the computer!</p>
<p>I see I am getting a mix of replies but sharing similar interest.</p>
<p>I am sorta suprised not too many work.</p>
<p>I work all week but my hours are totally flexible because I do court transcription. So I do a little bit of work here and there on the weekend but I get a lot done during the week so I can get my homework done on the weekend when I have a bit more cerebral power to work with.</p>
<p>I spend my weekends sleeping if I don’t have a sporting event I have to be at or if I don’t go home to work. I don’t party and I don’t normally do much in the way of homework. On Sundays this year, it was common for me to sleep until 2 or 3 in the afternoon…</p>
<p>It really depends. If you have classes Friday morning, Thursday is like most any other weekday. On weekends you putz around, do homework, go to football games, party, hang out with friends. Your weekend is whatever you make it out to be.</p>
<p>"On Sundays this year, it was common for me to sleep until 2 or 3 in the afternoon… "</p>
<p>This is noteworthy? Last year I was lucky if I made it out of bed before dinner. But I’ve had to grow up now. XD</p>
<p>Having classes on Friday mornings doesn’t make Thursday not part of the de facto college weekend. Everyone just shows up hungover and/or sleeps in class or just doesn’t show up at all. And it’s not about a lack of work, but just major time management. </p>
<p>Some people find it strange that I don’t go out every Thursday to the frats/downtown. I just didn’t have the money sometimes.</p>
<p>pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat and then do it again</p>
<p>^^I miss that song :)</p>
