As a College Student, I sometimes find myself with a lot of “free” time. Here, when I say free time, I mean time when I don't need to be doing homework or studying. It’s easy to get into habit and go to your old friend Netflix, but as a college student, these are the years where you should be experimenting with different activities, student clubs or organizations and really take the time to figure out who you are. Below are twenty things that you could do in your free time, that don't involve just Netflix:
Learn something new:
1. Learn how to Knit
2. Learn how to Ballroom dance
3. Learn how to sculpt-- hey maybe you're an artsy person
4. Learn how to to help out the community, and look into community service activities around campus
5. Learn how to HUG, most college campuses have kindness clubs where you basically learn how to be a better person.
Get Involved:
6. Go to a chess club
7. Join your school's PETA club, or compassion for animals club
8. Get a gym class membership, yoga or self defense classes are great ways to stay active!
9. Join the ~AMAZING~ Greek community by going through fraternity and sorority recruitment!! Basically just join greek life :)
10. Get an on or off campus job and make some money to help pay off all of that student debt.
Relax:
11. Paint
12. Draw
13. Read a book
14. Create a music playlist for the next time you go out
15. Cook dinner
16. Bake cookies for your roommate or yourself
17. Go hammocking
18. Go for a walk, this is a win/win, you get to relax and learn how to navigate around campus better
19. Take pictures of literally everything or anything
20. Write a poem or short story AND maybe get it published! Or start a blog!
(21) AND if all else fails….go on a study date with a friend, even though it's hard and sometimes boring to ONLY study, it's a fundamental aspect of college life, so why not make it fun with a good Mocha and an even better person.
