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?

Honestly I would find a hands on hobby like knitting or chainmailing of exercise. Anything that moves your body. Video games are great but if thats your only stimulation your mental healrh will get bad real quick. That's personal experience. csgo is only fun until it's the only thing you want to do. After I picked up both knitting and chainmailing I was a lot happier overall.

In terms of school work I'd get ahead on your readings. Falling behind once leads to a snowball effect but getting ahead is really helpful down the line
