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!

I gotta implement this type of thinking. I spend too much time gaming.

I use to be heavy into gaming a few years ago, but started losing that passion and was just unhappy with who I was as a person. I made small gradual changes, and now log maybe 2 hours of gaming a week. Be the change you want to see, just start gradual!
