College. The time to stay up all night, eat whatever you want, party, and enjoy the lack of responsibility. At least that's what you tell yourself it's for when you're having pizza for breakfast and trying to finish a paper at 4 a.m. because it's due in your 8 a.m. class. Everyone's had a day that looks like this, maybe even multiple, like weeks? Months? Hey, no shame, it's college.
7 a.m.
Alarm goes off because you told yourself you were going to wakeup extra early before your 9:00 class to finish all that work you didn’t do when you were binge-watching Netflix as a “study break” at 2 a.m. last night (or should I say morning?).
7:30 a.m.
Alarm goes off again because let’s be real, you didn’t get up the first time and probably won’t get up this time. At least you set the alarm though… that counts for something, right?
8 a.m.
Alarm goes off yet again. It’s at this moment you decide you’ll just wear a hat for the day instead of showering, odds are no one will even notice.
8:15 a.m.
A moment of despair. The snooze increments are getting smaller and soon that moment you’ve been avoiding for an hour now, is approaching.
8:30 a.m.
Inner moral struggle – to go to class or skip and get the notes from your friend? Your body’s probably telling you it physically cannot get up out of bed, no matter how much you want it to.
8:40 a.m.
Decide to sleep 5 minutes more and skip breakfast. Sleep > Food.
8:45 a.m.
WAKE UP. At this point you probably don’t even have time for breakfast. Just brush your teeth, throw that hat on, and get a cup of dry Cheerio’s.
9:01 a.m.
Arrive to class only 1 minute late. Swag.
9:01 a.m. to noon
Class, class, and more class. Did you do the reading for your Political Philosophy class? Probably not but improvisation is your thing.
Lunch:
Time for that coffee you’ve been craving all morning. Chug it and head to the library to finish the work for you afternoon classes.
1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
More class more class. This time, you’re proud because you raised your hand and actually said something in one of them. Good for you.
3:30 p.m.
Time to workout because today is the day you start eating healthy and running 7 miles instead of eating fries and pizza and watching Netflix.
5:30 p.m.
Dinner, thank goodness. It’s burgers, sweet potato fries, and freshly baked chocolate cookies, so there goes that healthy eating you told yourself you were starting. Sweet potatoes are a vegetable though so that’s good enough.
6:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
Time to head to the library to start that mountain of work you saved for the day… But you can always get up extra early to finish it before class so no worries.
