11 p.m. - I chilled at my fraternity brothers’ live-out house and watched re-runs of "The League." It wasn’t funny enough, so I did homework during most of it. My stomach was super full from DeAngelo’s pasta - shout out to my job - but did that stop me from drinking water? Nope! Everyone had dispersed and was getting ready to sleep, so I knew it was time for me to go. But what kind of person would I be to leave knowing that the door was going to remain unlocked?
12 a.m. - I arrived home in just enough time to tuck the rest of my pasta away in the fridge, get enough sleep for my 9 a.m. and write more for this article. I needed to write a lot of important emails that won’t seem so important in nine months when I graduate. But frankly, if I stayed up any longer I wouldn’t be able to get the recommended amount of sleep, and then what would my day be like tomorrow?

12:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. - Sleep. I didn’t dream. Go figure.Â
8:30 a.m. – I woke up with little time to spare. I had to be quick with my options of breakfast, clothing and cleanup. I knew that if I missed out on my 9 a.m. lecture, I was going to regret it. I walked through the streets of downtown Bloomington from my house to Woodburn to get to class and was nervous because there were a lot of cars. My fear was extinguished by my savvy street smart skills, but then I began to worry for those less equipped.Â
10 a.m. - 11 a.m. - Orientation for a service I’m starting - nothing too action-packed about that.Â
12 p.m. - Chilled with an attractive lady friend. What did you do?
4 p.m. - Arrived at the School of Public Health to practice a speech I had to give for a scholarship dinner. I was sweating from being outside. The weather was fighting me, but we all knew who was going to win in the end. After the meeting, I couldn’t help but notice free pens and phone cleaners in a basket by the door. I thought to myself, my phone is pretty dirty, so I grabbed a cleaner and walked out the door. I didn’t even think twice about grabbing it either. I wondered if they knew what I’d just done?Â
8 p.m. - My day was wrapping up, meaning my night was beginning. I cooked salmon with brown rice because I knew how. As soon I placed the rice on the stove, a text lit up my phone. I was hesitant to pick it up because I knew it could be the School of Public Health wanting their free phone cleaner back, but it was just a friend asking me if I wanted to go out. After the vigil, I decided I would.Â
10 p.m. - I honestly cannot remember anything after this time, but that leaves me to think...what actually happened?
