After graduating with a college degree, having some free time in the evenings with no exams to study for or homework to finish sounds like a dream-come-true. What could be better than coming home from work with nothing left on the to-do list and getting to relax, guilt-free, for the first time in years?

 

While that new-found free time is well-deserved, an unexpected struggle for many new college graduates is having too much time outside of work with fewer friends, very little structure, and fewer opportunities for socialization than they were used to in college. Despite all of the energy and stress that goes into finding a job after college, recent graduates report 91% satisfaction in their jobs. Yet, these same graduates report significant feelings of loneliness, depression, and anxiety in their free time.

For those of us who have been to college, this should not be very surprising. At its core, college is designed to help us succeed in our careers. As students, we make a significant investment in our career preparation by choosing to attend college. It also should not surprise us that many graduates are not doing well in their free time outside of their jobs. Our college courses rarely, if ever, prepare us to succeed in our free time.

This course is designed to equip current college students with skills, systems, and strategies desinged to fill your free time with purpose after college.

Let's Look at the Numbers

On average, a college student spends 1,800 hours in classes, 2000 hours studying, and between $77,000 and $135,000 on tuition and expenses over the course of 4 years to receive a bachelor's degree. After all of that time, effort, and money spent on an experience designed for career preparation, it is no wonder that the vast majority of students report feelings of satisfction in their post-graduation jobs.

 

Most of our jobs require 8 hours of our time Monday - Friday. That represents just 23% of our total time in a week, or roughly 40% of our waking time per week. The other 60% of our waking time is what many of us call our free time. In a given year, we can expect to spend 2,000 hours at work and 5,300 waking hours experiencing free time. Knowing that college did not prepare most of us to handle this much unstructured time, and that many recent graduates report feelings of depression, anxiety, and loneliness about their free time, the stakes for those 5,300 hours are pretty high.

Here's my question for you:

You will spend, on average, 4,000 hours and $100,000 dollars on a college degree to succeed during your 2,000 working hours per year. Are you willing to spend __ hours and $__ to set yourself up for fulfillment and purpose during your 5,300 free time hours each year?
