This looks like a normal university student schedule tbh.
I did pretty much this for 5yrs, except for working after 19h, which I avoided as much as I could.
EDIT: weekends included for most of the academic year.
This is not ideal. A study schedule differs for everybody. A lot of students (including myself) study at least 10-12 hours a day, which is quite a bit more than in this “ideal” schedule. I can’t afford myself to have 1h coffee breaks, stop at 20u and not study on the day of a previous exam.
I never needed 45 mins to play with my flute. A minute, tops.
8 am is too early. Exercise should be earlier to wake up, rather than later.
My schedule would be like this when I was studying at Ugent:
>7:00 wake up, wank and start rehearsing what I have learned the day before
>9:00 shower and eat
>10:00 start studying
>10:15 wank
>11:00 start studying for real
>12:30 lunch
>13:30 go outdoors for 30 minutes
>14:00 study
>16:00 snack and wanking
>18:00 food
>20:00 study
>22:00 wanking & sleep
Can someone explain ‘lummelen’
These things always annoy me. What works for you might not work for everyone else.
When studying, my own schedule was more like:
– Sleep till noon, because fuck getting up early when it’s not needed. Why subject oneself to the misery of mornings when it’s not necessary?
– 12 to 13: Lunch.
– 13 to 15: Procrastinate. Not a deliberate choice, but always ended up happening. Usually ended up on random wikipedia pages, learning things utterly unrelated to my studies.
– 15 to 18: Study.
– 18 to 19: Evening meal.
– 19 to 20: Study a bit more.
– 20 to 04: Videogames.
– No coffee, ever.
All the things we’re always told not to do. Still got both my Bachelor’s and Master’s in the minimum time required.
Studying 9 hours a day seems excessive. Only did that in my first year of college. Everything after that was five hours tops.
Doesn’t look like a very good schedule since your brain is only able to stay focused for about 50 minutes at a time.
1 uur voor coffee break…
Ja ok, da’s inderdaad wel de arbeidscultuur in de betere labo’s aan de UGent.
Sorry ma als ge nood hebt aan 9u studeren per dag zijde gwn inefficient
Serieus? In het middelbaar was het al elke week die zever, nu gaan ze op de unief ook al met blokfluitlessen beginnen, ofwa? /s

My partner’s study schedule : About 16 hours a day and no sleep the night prior to the exam.
My schedule: do nothing until the day before the exam. Wake up around noon. Start cramming everything in until 7am. Take a shower, go to uni, take the exam at 9am. Barely pass with a 10 or 11. Go home and sleep. Repeat the same pattern 2 or 3 days later. Did this all throughout hogeschool and universiteit.
I gave myself a very normal schedule with breaks and everything, but after 5 hours of studying I’m KO. So I go to passive learning: watch videos on the subject and reading the reference book half-heartedly -_- And if I do study all day like expected I get depressed the day after…
not that following courses was any easier, it just felt less intense and with less distractions I guess
I think this is a perfect example on how teachers are disconnected from reality.
All this is causing is a massive amount of stress that will influence people for years.
When you think about it, why cram all the exams together? Wouldn’t it be better to space them out?
At work we schedule things around availability. We purposefully ensure deadlines space out from project to project to prevent people from being spread too thin.
Waar gaat hij om 20u gaan fietsen in de winter? Je ziet de laatste dagen steek met dat weer
My schedule used to be: (burgie)
6:30 – wake up
7:30 – arrive at library, start studying
10:00: 15 minute break
12:00 – lunch
13:00: start studying
15:00: read all newspapers in library (standaard, morgen, tijd)
17:00: go home, eat, watch tv, read book, go cycle.
22:00: sleep
Productivity just fell off a cliff after 3 PM.
He has no contact with reality.
Chilling after the exam? Only if you’re on the model route of course because if you’re not, you will have two exams in three or two days time.
My personal schedule is almost the same:
9:00 Breakfast.
10:00 start studying
10:15 smoke break
11:00 coffee break
11:30 smoke break
11:35 poo break
13:30 lunch
14:00 continue studying
14:30 smoke break
16:00 smoke break
17:00 flute playing break
17:05 smoke break
19:00 finish studying.

I got up at 11
then breakfast + ‘chill’ until lunch time around 12:30.
At 13:00 i opened my books and did 1-10 pages between 13:00 and 17:00 while watching YouTube or netflix.
Then my mate was done after his full day of studying and we played games until around 18:30.
Then i waited for lunch and after lunch i started studying and did around 100 pages between 19:30 and 2 in the morning.
Good joke.
I don’t get how anyone is able to convince themselves to just study for hours on end. But so many people just do it. Both people twice and half as intelligent as me. No one in my family gets how I can’t do it.
Is it a habit developed in middelbaar? Outside pressure? Future plans?
So frustrating to fall out of the boat upon entering higher education, never managing to figure out what you can do to fix it apart from wasting more time in front of a desk. Best part is to instead be blamed for laziness (still have no idea what that’s supposed to achieve), or be told that *unnamed deceased relative* would be ashamed of you, pushing you into a corner of self loathing for years.
Fuck you Rik Van de Walle.
I miss the part where I suddenly decide to deep clean my kitchen or rewatch a film that I watched once in 2006 because I can’t remember how it ended.
