I've recently managed to develop an actual interest in what I'm studying and quit sitting on my PC at least during day time, which is good.

However, now I don't even enjoy video games in my free evening time anymore.... which gives me a lot of time now where I sit around bored wondering what other people do.

So yeah, what do you guys like to do in your free time? What are some fun, relaxing yet educational or valuable activities? Or what online sources do you browse for easy to digest news on science and related topics?

Are you a CSfag? Making cool random coding projects can be good

Stalking.

I wlak around my city, pick someone to follow, and see what they're doing with their lives. You find some interesting things sometimes, and you can pretty much say you for sure have a pulse on what others are doing in 2019, etc.

One time I followed this girl for 2 hours though wondering where the fuck she could be walking so far. She had walked from the middle of town deep into this suburban park. Then she turned around for the first time and looked into my eyes with sheer terror. I abandoned mission and laughed my ass off when I was far away enough

Also a physics major, learn to fucking code or you won't go anywhere in physics. There is software that can rearrange analytic expressions and derive equations, so these skills, while a useful IQ cutoff, are not actually useful. I learned this fairly late in the game when I started doing undergrad research and realized that a working knowledge of Python and Mathematica is assumed, even though there are no classes on it in the major; you're expected to self teach of you're competent. Just automating repetitive computational tasks and being able to plot phase space dynamics without too much hassle, nothing fancy.

To answer your question, read textbooks or research papers in your field. If you're reading textbooks, do the problems or you're wasting your time. Learn an easy language for shits. The great thing about this one is that you can sit on your ass watching cartoons dubbed in said language and just call it immersion learning.
