Binge a TV series? Obsess about that selfie you posted online? Maybe you added to your long list of excuses?
Not Charlotte Underwood-Nicol.
The 15-year-old Otago Girls' High School pupil was too busy adding to her clunky collection of medals.
She won 22 of them in one mad month of March.
The ultimate all-rounder collected 13 medals at the Surf Lifesaving Southern Regionals in Christchurch, eight at the New Zealand Division 2 Swimming Championships in Dunedin and a silver in the under-16 diamond race at the New Zealand Surf Lifesaving Championships in Mt Maunganui.
Not bad at all.
For an encore, she went back to Christchurch for the South Island Secondary School Waterpolo Championships where her side placed fifth.
Now it is back to netball for the budding goal attack.
All right, so the year 11 pupil might have skipped the odd class here and there.
"Just," she responded when asked if she had put in an appearance at school recently.
However, the textbooks went with her and the airport was as good a place as any to squeeze in some study while waiting for a flight.
Also Charlotte has made one concession. Volleyball has been clipped from the schedule.
It is lucky her mother Penelope is a taxi driver because there is a lot of ferrying backwards and forwards in such a hectic lifestyle.
It is not cheap either. Charlotte may want to consider melting down some of that bling-bling and turn it into ka-ching, ka-ching.
But how does the shy overachiever feel about it all?
"Good."
She may be just a little bit better than good, one suspects. Remember the name.
