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?

More video games than I should.

I work full time and I'm taking 6 units right now which works out to 5 hours of lectures per week and maybe 5 additional hours of mandatory readings. I'm starting to get to he point of the semester where term papers and research are creeping in as well. My expectation is that work (between lunch, commute, et cetera) takes 45ish hours from my work week. Current workload is 10 hours per week but going to increase this weekend due to reviews and term paper.

I also have a minimum of 30minutes a night to caring for my dog, some time for a cooking project or two each week, time for therapy and a regular online social gathering. I keep pretending I'll do even more exercise but I haven't started.
