<p>This might sound a bit strange, but I'm used to having no time to do anything during weekdays during high school. Like literally come home, take a short nap and go on my computer, do my homework, go to bed, repeat all week.</p>
<p>But I'm realizing that for the Fall, I will be pretty much done with classes around noon. So what do most people do the rest of the time on campus?</p>
<p>Well, on the days when I'm feeling particularly frisky, and I have some change in my pocket, I head on over to your mom's place...</p>
<p>hah same case for me too dude ...but im lookting to play an Intramural (not sure how to spell it) sport and join some clubs and get a job hopefully...lol</p>
<p>Well, on the days when I'm feeling particularly frisky, and I have some change in my pocket, I head on over to your mom's place...</p>
<p>I started to plan my schedule to start from 10 or 11 and end at like 3... 8 and 9 are too early to be awake :) when I come back I do some work, watch sports, go play outside, take naps... and study of course...</p>
<p>You're very lucky to end at noon. That is the perfect schedule, even (if) you start at 8AM.</p>
<p>You can sleep, get a job, watch TV, work out, hang out, go to social events, and have plenty of time to study and do homework.</p>
<p>For some engineers, it's class 8-6, part time job, eat, do homework, study, and then sleep .. & repeat. <em>sigh</em> :|</p>
<p>Study. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>i might have a 8-7 schedule next quarter, along with 2 jobs, study, and sleep. YIKES.</p>
<p>Freshmen tend to have pretty leisurely weekdays. maybe walk back to campus slowly around noon after your 11 am class, go eat a prolonged lunch in covel with your buddies, then back to your afternoon classes, then go drift around outside etc etc. ok that's a bit idealized just what freshmen with free time too. thousands of others have jobs, extracurriculars, too much homework, and they will grab a sandwich and eat while working, or be on the go constantly.</p>
<p>I go back to my room, take a short nap, do some homework (maybe), go to bed. Sometimes I replace homework with TV, longer nap, or Mario Kart.</p>
<p>If that week happens to be finals week, you will be following this pattern...
Eat, sleep, study, eat, sleep, study, eat, take a final, procrastinate, and repeat.</p>
<p>For some reason, I feel the above information is relevant.</p>
<p>MadeInChina...how the hell are you gonna find time to sleep?!</p>
<p>hm haven't thought about it yet. just waiting for summer :D.</p>
<p>but i'm either getting a 2nd job or getting into research next quarter so i'll have to figure out how to balance it. however, my current programming job is project-based so i don't have to go in on a regular basis. </p>
<p>this quarter i had 10-6pm classes straight and they were do-able so i don't expect it to be too different. but although a lot of us engineers have really packed schedules, we can STILL make free time, maintain grades, and get involved with extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>just gotta put heart into it.</p>
<p>Yeah, engineers are crazily packed in schedule, assuming they attend all classes. You need a lot of discipline to do well.</p>
<p>Really admire those international students, as some have 3 jobs, take 20+ units, go to all office hours, study hard, and get 3.8+. Financial aide? None. Parent contribution? None. All hard work and pain, but the struggle is worth it in 4 years.</p>
<p>yup sounds like a lot of our parents. lol</p>
<p>cigars and martinis</p>
<p>get involved on campus! :)</p>
