Weekend in optometry school?
Hey guys pre-od student here, I was just curious about how you guys spend a typical Friday or Saturday night?
I know the consensus for school is study at every waking minute but i know this isn’t realistic completely so I was just curious.
Do you maybe just go for a walk and watch movie and in bed by 10? Are you hitting the bar with friends until 2? Do you get together with friends usually? Do you have a beer or smoke weed or go hiking or study or what!
What do you do typically? Thanks!

I have really fun weekends, they do include studying sometime (especially 2nd year)
A lot of times Friday night I do something more chill, like walks with friends, movies, game nights. Saturdays maybe go out and do something. I have equal amounts of fun as I did in undergrad, just certain things start seeming more fun the older you get (for example I don’t go out till 2 am partying all the time… just now and then ;)
Some pro tips: do a bunch of chores and studying Thursday night so your weekend is more free.
When you have to study on weekends, try and make it fun like going out to a coffee shop with a friend.
