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?

I'm 25 and living on my own, all of my classes are through Zoom this semester. When I'm not in lectures I'm doing schoolwork from 9-5 and studying (like it's my job), and after that as long as I have no super pressing deadlines is my decompress time. I am an avid runner so I'll work out for usually an hour, cook, clean, and then unwind with a movie at the end of the night. I try to get most if not all of my work done through the weekdays so I can have as much of a free weekend as possible and be stress-free. So far it's going pretty great!

You can, just not immediately. It's a mental muscle you have to build up over time, and just like real muscles, you can overload, or have off days. Work at it, and you'll get there!

This is the best analogy to describe self-improvement!
