Day in the Life of a (stressed) College Student
Hey guys! Here’s what a day in my life looks like. This one on my free-ish days.
- 8-9:00 am; I usually wake up at 7:40, but I woke up at 8 because I studied till 1 am the day before. I just lazied around for like 30 minutes then I had my breakfast.
- 9-11:00; I got ready for the day. I usually take my time, but I was tired so it took longer than usual. My skin care is pretty simple since I have sensitive skin so I only focus on hydration and UV protection. My scent of the day was vanilla-floral. I have a perfume oil roller because I absolutely enjoy the smell!
- 11-12:00pm; I live about 30 mins from campus by car, but I usually take the train because parking is expensive and students have discounted pass. The actual train ride is about 15 mins but I account for my drive to the station, my bus ride to the campus, and the wait times in between because it’s easy to miss.
- 12-2:00pm; Today I had only one lecture. It was a bit boring but I powered through ðŸ˜. Taking notes help me stay awake.
- 2-3:00pm; Since I ate pretty early in the day, I got hungry but I didn’t pack lunch so I decided to go back home.
- 3-8:00pm; Basically when I got home, I got a small snack, did some admin work for my campus org, sent some other emails. Then I took a 3 hour nap because I had like 7 hours of sleep so my body was tired then I had dinner.
8-1:00am; I made myself some coffee and immediately started studying because I have a big test coming up and failing is NOT an option. I did a lot of practice questions from the old homework’s(that would align with the exam setup). I time myself for 30 minutes per questions, because that’s the average amount of time we would have during the exam. I took 5-10 mins break between some of them just to keep my self awake.
That’s how my day went. See ya!
