SCORING: Add up all of your points to determine how much extra time you have on your hands.
15 to 22 Points You have way too much time and energy on your hands. You have time to become a "mover and shaker" on campus. Find something that you enjoy or select an activity that will help you build some additional skills. Don't become a TV Junkie; you will have more fun on campus meeting new people and trying new things. Good luck!
6 to 14 Points: You may not have a lot of extra time, but you can afford a few hours each week. Form an intramural sports team with other students living in your neighborhood. Get involved with the off-campus student group. You have the opportunity to try something new and gain some valuable experience at the same time. Enjoy!
0 to 5 Points: You are obviously a very busy person, but you can still find one hour a week to become involved with some type of group or organization on campus. Select something that will compliment your academic work. Find a group that meets during a convenient break in your schedule. Hang in there!
