College Student Comparison
Comparison to the Average College Student Data
First and foremost, I was very interested in how many similarities and differences that there was between myself and the average college student. I found the similarities interesting because I do not feel that I spend my time evenly in each area, like I assumed the average college student did. I was most proud of myself in the sleeping category, seeing that I get, on average, 0.6 hours more sleep than the average college student. I think that my strict sleep schedule has allowed me to be on top of my school work and also be able to do all of the other extracurricular activities that I do. However, this also may be too much sleep because I often find that if I do not get enough sleep, about 9 hours …show more content…
I work, on average, 1.5 hours less than the average college student.

I would much rather like to be able to cook at a comfortable speed and still have people come talk to me, but I need to keep cooking and not stop to talk. If I was talking and cooking at the same time I think that this would cut down significantly on the amount of time that I am eating and drinking. I think that I will do this by making my dinner and then telling my friends that I will come and see them instead of them always coming to see me in my apartment.
Personal Hygiene and Grooming Task: Making a Cup of Coffee
1. Knowing that I want a cup of coffee in the morning
2. Walking over to the coffee maker
3. Knowing what button turns it on
