How to Kill Time in College Tampa FL

Steps

1. Organize your planner. Take out every syllabus you have been given for the semester, grab a pen and several highlighters (preferably of different colors). Write down important dates such as exams, finals, papers, readings, club meetings, etc. Highlight exams with one color, papers in another, and so on.
2. Make a list of the things you need. Has your Noxzema supply run out? Do you need a longer Ethernet cable? Go around the dorm and see what items you need. Keep the list with you so you can jot down another item if you remember it on the way to class. Go out and buy them.
3. Sleep. If your first class does not begin until noon, set your alarm to wake you a little later than usual. If your free time occurs between classes, take a power nap to keep you going.
4. Eat. Depending on your schedule, you may have an hour or so around lunchtime before your next class. Head to the cafeteria, even if it's just to munch on an apple.
5. Update song information on your mp3 player. Fill in artist names, albums, year, etc.
6. Clean the refrigerator. Whether it's a mini-fridge or a full-size chiller in your suite, clean the insides with soap and a clean rag and remove scuff marks and smudges from the exterior. Your room- and suitemates will appreciate your selfless action.
7. Rearrange the room. Get a loft kit, bunk the beds, stack dressers, move the desks around, think of anything you can to give the room a new look. The same thing applies to decorations.
8. Do homework. Start homework that has been assigned to you earlier. You can also use this time to read ahead before your next lecture.
9. Tutor for a subject. Head to your campus learning resource center. If you are strong in a particular subject, i.e. Calculus, the Sciences, German, you can help other students. You could even get paid for tutoring.
10. Do laundry. Most likely, students will be in class during the early afternoon. The laundry room will be free.
11. Do some Spring Cleaning in your hard drive/s. That 2-year-old document will keep staring at you until you delete it or move it to external storage.
12. Touch Base. Hop on Facebook, MySpace, or your preferred social networking site and drop a line to folks back home or those you haven't talked to in awhile.
13. Configure your E-mail program. Outlook Express allows a user to create "rules" for incoming messages. For example, if you have your personal and school e-mail coming to the same place, create a folder just for school and create a rule that e-mail for the school account will go to that folder.
14. Write a wikiHow article. Hit the "Write Article" link and show the world how to do something.
