What do you guys do on your free time?

<p>Anything besides getting drunk?</p>

<p>Not really.</p>

<p>I do some volunteering stuff, but other than that, I'm pretty booked.</p>

<p>I might be able to fit in some Guitar Hero here and there.</p>

<p>I watch sports, work out, woodwork, shop, read, and drive my car. Nothing too exciting. Not a drinker and not real into partying. Screw parties, give me time for deep conversations with friends instead.</p>

<p>hey, you can have deep conversation with friends AT parties... Other than party, I go out to dinner or coffee with friends, sometimes go for the day to new york or boston, etc...</p>

<p>Yeah, the parties I've been to I usually am with one or two other people and we're doing just that...but often we have to converse in a corner to get out of the way.</p>

<p>I also have this big fear of my car getting hit/vandalized by a drunk in the parking lot so I've avoided all college parties where alcohol is involved. (I could take the bus, but that would require a one mile or so hike from my house to a stop, and if I'm coming back dead tired at 3AM or so I'm NOT walking that far)</p>

<p>Sleeping, eating (making the trek to Chipotle or Starbucks on occasion), reading, talking, listening to music, the weekly tango lesson, random movie nights/dance parties on the floor, going out to parties (though I've lost my taste for it a bit), and frequenting to the secret bar in my dorm (that we're unfortunately losing b/c the guy is moving into his frat house).</p>

<p>But sleeping, eating, and talking take up a lot of time.</p>

<p>Practice guitar. Other than that...absolutely nothing.</p>

<p>Reading pulp fiction novels.</p>

<p>read a lot, eat a lot, run a lot, and watch mtv. i didn't have cable in high school, so i'm kind of going overboard with it now... watched the entire first season of beauty and the geek yesterday. what a fulfilled life i live.</p>

<p>Read, write, watch movies or tv shows. I've made a couple trips to nearby cites with friends. Usually when we go out it's to Malibu Yo (frozen yogurt), and probably a stop by Ralph's since it's close. There's really not much to do in Malibu, though the local movie theater finally just opened up again last week.</p>

<p>Not much, just chill. Hang out with friends, go see a movie, rent a movie, go to a play, dance (my friends and I are big swing dancers).... do whatever. Yeah, we party and drink too on the weekends sometimes.</p>

<p>i make RF projects in my leisure hours
By the way i am freshman</p>

<p>drinking and partying is pretty much all i do in my free time</p>

<p>workout, study, nap....</p>

<p>Free time?</p>

<p>working on getting better at chess, Wii, reading (esp. about history), working out, napping</p>

<p>playstation
music
pep band
tutoring at an elementary school
hang out with people
... etc?</p>

<p>playing guitar/writing riffs, playing/teaching myself piano, composing music (in Finale Notepad), recording and producing music that i or friends have written, going to shows/concerts, exploring the Greater Los Angeles area, taking pictures around campus, play squash with friends and yes...party quite a bit on weekends.</p>

<p>Just curious, whats the music scene like in/around LA?</p>

<p>well, i haven't had time to just go out to clubs like the Echo to check out local acts, so i can't say a whole lot about the local bands. but...it being LA, there's been quite a few "big" acts to come down. the big shows i can remember since i've been in school, about 3 months: </p>

<p>Gorilla Biscuits: 80s NY hardcore (punk)
Radio Birdman: godfathers of 70s Aussie garage punk
TV on the Radio with Massive Attack
Tenacious D
The Damned: 70s UK punk legends</p>

<p>and innumerable weekly shows at the coffee shop/small venue on campus from local indie bands, or indie bands in general (some from out of state). having the coffee shop right beneath my window makes me so happy.</p>

<p>i guess i can comment on that...some of the alternative acts are definitely great, one notable was headed by a former writing professor at USC. we've also gotten a few really good alt-progressive (in a good way) bands. otherwise, a lot of bands are the run-of-the-mill pop-rock (i.e. "emo") bands.</p>

<p>and lets not forget...i've been to maybe 8 to 10 classical concerts put on by our school (with one at Walt Disney Concert Hall), which is no small feat considering our program is considered among the best in the nation.</p>
