I've watched a lot of movies, and the time which went into that has been enormously paid back in the form of increased wisdom, self-awareness, empathy, aesthetic sense, and interpersonal skills. And depending on how intently you watch YouTube or World Cup, you may be getting volumes out of those activities as well.
You may be calling these activities time-wasters automatically, or because that's a common way to look at media consumption. But they may instead be important learning activities for you, useful in some of the ways college is useful.
I agree very much with others here that "doing" and "doing as a means of learning" are fun, fulfilling, and important, but sometimes the emphasis on those methods disparages other important activities we engage in.
Try planning your weekends and incorporating a sense of balance, e.g. figure out during the week if there is a game or movie you might get a lot out of on Sunday and fit time for other goals around it.
