Hobbies?
If i dont have class on certain days (like MWF for this semester) or HW to catch up on i end up sitting here on Fluther with my Xbox 360 on trying to figure out what to do.
What are people doing to fill their time?

I’m unemployed. Probably going into rehab for alcohol abuse soon. I just need to be locked in a room for a few months.
It will fuck up school. I will live.
If you aren’t looking for a job right now, then turn your energy to community service.
Find a cause that means a lot to you (animals, the environment, kids, etc.), and find ways to donate your time. Not only will it make you feel good, earn you some mega karma points, and do good for others, BUT you can also add this to your resume and/or grad school applications.
Need letters of recommendation down the road? I bet your supervisors/coworkers at the community project would write you a sterling one!
