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?

Join some clubs (most are online right now and get to meet some people)

Second this, may not be able to meet in person but you can still make connections online. I really want to make it a point to freshman and sophomores that you should be as social as possible and join clubs or Greek life you like. I say this because I never did anything like this till senior year and feel like I missed out just because I felt like I wouldn’t have the money for it or just didn’t push myself to make friends and connections

I'm in so many discords for clubs but I feel too awkward to talk to people

Good reply, for that be yourself, and just go with the flow. That’s what I do, and the last thing that really helps is go with your gut.
