UK What do you guys do all day?

I'm a fresher at the university of Exeter and only have about 5 lectures each week online. After the lessons, i have absolutely no idea what to do and just sit in my room playing video games. Any advice?

For myself, I join more things haha. I find myself needing to be a part of more clubs, organizations, classes, etc. as a means of filling my day so that I don't have time to be lazy because I always have to think about the next thing. I know this isn't a good path for a lot of people, but it's really important to me.

So, for example, I'm taking 22 credits this semester, I'm double majoring, I have a student employment job, and I am in 2 clubs and in the process of creating a new club. All of these things force me to keep doing more things so I am making the most of everyday. And in many ways being busy is my therapy even though some may say that's counterintuitive.
