How Student Spend Their Time after Classes

The pie chart shows the percentage of student spend their time after classes by having indoor and outdoor activities, going for movies, studying and socializing.

Indoor activities such as playing computer and board games, cooking and collecting stamps shows the most type of activity that students spent after their classes which contributes to 35% of the total number of students as compared to outdoor activities and going for movies which are about 10%.

As shown in the pie chart, going for movies produced the same percentage with the outdoor activities. This shows that most students preferred to have the indoor activities because it is more relaxing due to their tiring day after the whole day of classes and also without spending much cost due to the budget constrain as a student.

As can be seen in the pie chart, the different of percentage between socialising and studying is only 5%. This is due to the common activities that relate with each other. For example, students need to do their homework or assignments by communicates with their friends through online chatting in order to have a discussion.

As prediction, there will be an increasing in percentage of socialising because most of the student spent their time after classes updating their web pages with the latest updated social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter and so on. Hence, students should have a balance between studies and activities by spending their time wisely.
