I’m almost 20 years old, I finished my first year of university. I’m currently on holiday, and I have a lot of free time. Having free time is nice, the problem is that when you are a student, you never have money. And when you have a lot of free time, but you don’t have much money, it can get boring.

Every morning I and I in the afternoons. But I still have a lot of free time. takes me about two hours, including the road time the post-gym shower. And I usually read for one hour. Another activity that I do is . I study history, and I love historical documentaries. I learn a lot from them. I watch documentaries for one and a half hours four five times a week.

those activities are a small part of my day. When I’m not at the gym or reading, I get bored, and I often for hours. I enjoy playing video games, I don’t think it’s a productive activity. When I play for a long time, I feel bad. I’d like to find more productive activities to do, but it isn’t easy. I live in a small town, and there aren’t many things to do.
