What to do as a hobby whilst in University?

[tonychet2]

Hey guys
I was just wondering what do people here do in their free time whilst studying, working and other daily life activities?
I'm really lost for ideas atm :x

I play some sports casually with some friends which is really awesome, basically anything with your friends is fun

I go to the gym and see movies/hang out with friends when one of our sets of parents go away for a night or two and tutor (voluntarily) at my old school.

tonychet is already a pro bodybuilder.
I'm not in uni yet but you should join clubs - yes, you've heard it before, but they will probably help you in so many ways. Improve social skills, create friendships, improve skills in something depending on the club and I've heard people include this sort of stuff on their resume's, especially if you end up being a leader of some sort, it shows some sort of leadership experience to employers.

Last time I went to a uni open day I was so amazed that you could join sporting teams. There was indoor soccer, indoor basketball, tennis, lots of stuff. Something to think about.

Have you thought about volunteering? So many opportunities for volunteering.. and it's priceless to put on your resume too. It can be just general duties or you can do volunteer work for something related to your course. You could actually even try to apply for a junior position for a commerce-related job (not entirely sure what jobs it leads to specifically.. you'd know more than me lol).

Also, just think of really cool stuff to do... something extreme/weird.. I used to collect postage stamps and different currencies in year 10 and I still do occasionally..

Join a club that actually does stuff (i.e. sports clubs are good).

Fapping to pron is also good.

if you're lazy/fat/not sporty like me:

i draw/paint/scribble on things :3 its tons of fun!! casual drop in drawing lessons/workshops are a nice way to meet people too if you're into that type of thing.
food is always good also. some people like to cook/bake. alternatively going out and eating everything you see (with or without people rofll) is a brilliant way to spend time as far as im concerned. -u-
otherwise going for walks, reading in parks and drawing at cafes are all lovely. and sometimes you get to have some interesting (and even inspiring) conversations with strangers whilst doing those things. (though on the flip side, a lot of the time strangers are creepy and it can become not so pleasant)

otherwise youtube is always available with tons of videos of cats =o ^ o=

Exercise, if you enjoy it.

Exercise, if you don't enjoy it.

Alternatively, find a nice, quiet grassy area (it is my understanding that UoM has quite a few of these) and read a good book. Then exercise.

I do a lot of debating and editing for student media, and not a whole lot of exercise.
