College/Tracking Exercise

I'm currently studying hairdressing at college and I've been tracking the work I've been doing. My question is; should I change my activity level?? I have it set as sedentary as I'm only in college/hairdressing for maybe 9hrs a week currently and I don't do much else otherwise. I don't walk to college or anything. I just feel I should maybe change it to 'light activity' but I'm not sure... :/

    That depends on what your lifestyle is like when you're not at school.

    I don't do alot, maybe walk around town (slow pace) a couple of times a week and do a small workout everyday.

    Well, I still can't really tell what you're doing the majority of the time. But as an example, I work 8 hours a day sitting at a desk. After work I generally work out anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours. When I get home from working out, I putter around the house (dishes, laundry, etc) and watch TV.

    I have my activity level set as sendentary and log my workouts separately.
