7. Between Classes

7.1. When you have 1 or 2 hours between classes you can use that time to review your notes, read an article or you can do some homework.

7.2. Do not waste your time during your hours between classes and do something useful.

8. Line-ups

8.1. Something interesting that you can do while waiting in a line is carried around a book or some photocopied readings of your subjects, you can use your cellphone to read and review some of your notes or you can watch videos about specific topics of your major. Use your time wisely.
