A Typical Day For A College Student

Can I take a nap yet?

A Typical Day For A College Student

Every single adult will tell you that college is “the best four years of your life,” but I must say that I often feel like I am riding the struggle bus way more than I should be. I do love college, but I overwhelmingly desire three-day weeks and four-day weekends. But, don’t we all?

7:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M.

If you are an athlete like me and have to get up at 6:15 twice a week to make it to 7 a.m. weight room, life seems pretty rough. For those who do not, lucky you. Everyone's first class is difficult to get to, especially those who have 8:30s. The days I don't wake up at the crack of dawn for weight room, my day starts at 10 a.m. Whatever time I need to get up, attempting to wake up at a set time means hitting snooze 50 times.

10:00 A.M. -12:00 P.M.

If I am not accidentally sleeping in, I am trying to figure out ways to not fall asleep in those ridiculously boring lectures that we are required to take. The chair I am sitting in seems a whole lot more comfortable in History 101 at 10:00 a.m.

LUNCH


I always take advantage of my free time, usually eating food and socializing with friends. Mostly eating, though.

1:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M.

Hopefully your classes do not exceed past 4 p.m. If they do, I am sure you will be sitting in a lecture wondering if you will ever get a job or just be broke forever. The world seems to come crumbling down in classes past 4 p.m.

PRACTICE

By the end of the day, all I want to do is relax. Well, in all honesty, thinking about what I will eat for dinner is what gets me through workouts...

DINNER

Whether you are eating at the dining hall, or making a meal in the microwave in your apartment, dinner is dinner. The best part is that it gives you an excuse to procrastinate all the things you should be doing.

7:00 P.M. - 12:00 A.M.

Crunch time. I usually venture off to the library, find a spot, sit down, open Facebook and go on my phone for about 20 minutes. Eventually, I will get focused and begin my 59349 hours of homework I have to complete by tomorrow.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
