In high school, the longest you have to wait in between classes is a lunch break, or perhaps a double of free periods. But at uni, depending on how kind your timetable is, you may have from an hour to over four hours to kill in between classes. And unless you’re lucky enough to live on residence, then filling this time is not going to be as easy as nipping home.
Here are a few tips on how to fill a break:
- Hang out in a campus café or bar. A great way to meet people, as you’ll notice the familiar faces of students who obviously share the same break time as you from week to week.
- Study in the library. Unexciting, but while you’re trapped on campus anyway, you may as well keep your weekend clear of study.
- Join a club. A club of interest might meet during your break time, like rehearsals for a campus theatre production.
- Catch up on sleep. There’s usually a couch or two somewhere on campus. Or a large tree to curl up under. Just remember to set an alarm.
- Do social networking. Check your Facebook, My Space, Twitter, and send any emails you need to…then you won’t be able to justify this form of procrastination later, and you’ll just have to study!
