Free time

[⛊ Drake7707]

So yeah, by working most of the days a week and severly limiting my free time i thought i'd have actually stuff to do .... guess not. I can't seem to find anything useful to do :/ . It seems such a waste to spend free time on something like 'browsing on some sites' or anything. Considering that i had 6 months of free time because i dropped out of college makes me wonder what i actually do on a day that's at least a bit 'constructive' or 'enjoyable'.

 

What are you guys doing when you have a day off or have some hours of free time ? Any suggestions ?

 

I guess the ppl with gfs/bfs use time to spend time with her/him, or others enjoy spending time at a bar or something, but i don't have a gf and i hate bars (or anything where alcohol is involved for that matter).

 

 

So yeah...bored atm and wasting time.. ironic

I'm actually on vacation this week, so I've been working on my various websites, download movies, audio books, music, cleaned, put new strings on my guitars, polished them, oiled the woodwork on them, visited some friends, goin to a movie tonight, called the parental unit, probably gonna do some yard work tomorrow, see my friend's band play (at a bar), go to a wedding this weekend, possibly start plans to buy a house, read...pretty much anything I can do to keep myself busy I've done.

Go back to college?

[rootbear75]

i surf (the internet... duh)

[Hakaku]

Couch potato time!

 

Ok I lied. Part-time job and lots of biking to get there n back.

[⛊ Drake7707]

Yup, but it starts at september 24th

I usually work on all the projects I have running.

You know, staffing in a zone is also a great way to spend (or waste) your time

Draw, write do some creative stuff.

Probably the latter but still great

I waste my free time on the internet as well... And I just downloaded Heroes of Might and Magic V, Supreme Commander, and Warcraft III... heh.

Supreme Commander is pretty cool... Though, even if there are 3 factions, the units and buildings are the same for all, except different names and graphics... So it kind of lacks in diversity... But it's a good RTS; zooming in and out is fun

 

But it's not very constructive either way... Going back in my dad's house for a week or two, hopefully I'll do some interesting stuff. I'm used to my dual core computer now, so I don't risk spending much time on that Pentium 3 he has. My bicycle needs a new rear wheel (someone stole it... bleh), then I'll probably bike some to get in shape. Bleh... living just beside university, I haven't done much exercise this summer

You don't have to do anything constructive to spend your free time

If you got a job then you're already quite constructive during the day. I have evenings I don't do anything but I have a good time nonetheless

Yeah but it feels so wasteful like i'm going to regret it the next day at work like "!@#$%^&* i could have done that etc"

[🜲 Samapico]

Yeah that's how I feel too after a day of '!@#$%^&* I didn't do anything', especially when I 'wanted' to get stuff done

chainsaw some dead trees, shoot trap, build a ship in a bottle, make your own fireworks, take in a movie, clean your home, raft down the Mississippi with N-word Jim

I finished school mid June, and I don't start college until mid September so I've had/still have a lot of free time recently.

Before Wednesday (this week) I hadn't done anything constructive (that's almost 2 months of jack !@#$%^&* ).

 

Recently however, I've decided to spend some of my time a little more constructively. Something I had always wanted to do was learn HTML, and when I found a book called "Learn HTML in a Weekend" I couldn't p!@#$%^&* up the opportunity.

So over the past 2 days I've been reading that book; I'm only half way through it, and I already know enough to make this (which I think is fairly impressive considering it's my first ever website).

 

Similarly I've found books on C++ and Java coding which I plan to read shortly (not only do I want to know this stuff, it will also give me a head start at my computing course at college).

 

Other things I've done include: going to gigs, going to the cinema, visiting relatives, going out for meals. Also, I got a puppy (liver roan !@#$%^&*er spaniel) last Saturday, so I've been looking after her.

Time wasted having fun is not time wasted at all.

well yeah, but one is also doing a holiday job, and most of the time when i'm free he has to work, and the other lives a bit too far away to hang out somewhere (40km is a lot here you know)
