    Howdy,

    Assuming that you cant afford drink or drugs, you've already had a quick, sly one on your couch, most your friends are in doing lectures and its pissing rain outside.

    What did you do, AH ?! I beg thee for thy guidance, because I'm quite bored and considering studying, which can't be good !

    Don't you have a games console or a bed?

    Toasted cheese sandwiches, tea and Pro Evolution Soccer will pass any amount of time.

    Failing that - go back to bed and sleep.


    Honestly - kids these days. :rolleyes:

    Go for a run, it'll clear your head in preparation for all the studying you have to do next.

    Went to the pub, got sausage rolls in superquinn. We occasionally went to the cinema if there was a huge gap.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 6,817 ✭✭✭jenizzle

    Back in the day we used to...

    - sit in the college canteen
    - play soccer (although that was mostly in the evenings with the soccer club)
    - go to the gym
    - study


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    We usually descended on the canteen en masse, and enjoyed cups of tea that tasted exactly like mushroom soup...I miss college:(

    Failing that...i dunno, read a book or something!

    Surely you could afford 1 pint?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,171 ✭✭✭Neamhshuntasach


    I used to get friends (sometimes their friends) who were studying spanish come beside me asking to check their grammar. No feckin siestas for me. It used to wreck my head until i noticed it got me free pints in the bar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭loalae


    Sit in the canteen and play 'would ya?' If you say yes to 5 people in a row you have to go and talk to the last one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭petethebrick


    All I did was watch TV, play computer games, drink and shout at people out the window of my campus apartment.
    Apart from that you could use your spare time to play practical jokes on people that annoy them and entertain you.

    you could get a screwdriver and take all your furniture apart as an elaborate prank on the guys you live with.

    i did the day I dropped out :) was awesome!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,587 ✭✭✭Pace2008


    Does your college have a gym? Free periods are a great time to get a workout in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    Sleep, drugs, booze, Sex, video games or Tv..

    What the hell is wrong with students these days?
    This stuff should be second nature..

    i have two words for you.

    Pillow fort!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,790 ✭✭✭cornbb


    Just stay in bed for the day OP. You'll regret not doing it when you eventually become a real person (i.e. when you have a job) and you won't have that option anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    Slept,listened to music.I have more free periods than actual class time.

    Yeah same with me, 9 hours a week at the moment, and the study hasn't really started piling on yet so...yeah. Stumble upon some stuff, there's the odd hour of moderate amusement to be had there.


    Actually, I have a can in the fridge so I know how I'm passing the next while :D

    Look for bits of mould on things in the fridge, eat and see if you see if you have any mad visions.

    Arent these the basics of college everyone should know about?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,619 ✭✭✭Bob_Harris


    When I was living at home and going to college I'd just hung around the college cos I had fcuk all to do at home other than listen to the family.

    When I switched to a college in a far away city and lived in a flat, my time outside of lectures was spent in bed (alone, always alone), making proper meals for myself, a healthy dose of Scrubs Friends and the Discovery Channel, taking a spin around the coast/city in the car, and generally doing my best not to make friends with anyone.
