A Day In The Life Of A College Student

The best part of the day is going back to bed.

A Day In The Life Of A College Student

The day starts off with a sound that you already have come to know as dreadfully painful whether or not your alarm clock goes off at 6 AM or 10 AM. (God Bless those who have to wake up even earlier for 8 AM classes i.e, me). Each time you hit the snooze button, the alarm gets more and more annoying and trust me when I say that I hit snooze 2 or 3 times before I actually get out of bed.


Then it's time to get out of bed to get ready for the day. Each day you try to dress up and look acceptable but each day you probably fail, give in and then wear sweatpants.You brush your teeth, complete your morning routine, get your stuff ready for your first class and maybe eat breakfast. (If you woke up early enough, I usually never get the chance because I'd much rather sleep a little extra.)


You start your trek to class debating whether or not this is all worth it, you think about how many times you have missed this class already and if you can afford to miss another one. Which the answer is almost usually: absolutely not.

You get to class, sit in your usual seat, even though assigned seating in college is not a thing. Before class starts you use your phone or talk to your friends and most importantly you mentally prepare to sit down for an hour and a half, for each class you have today to listen to your professors lecture about a subject you are probably not that interested in. (Especially when you're a freshman taking your gen -ed classes.)

Your professor starts their lecture and you try really hard to pay attention but somehow your mind always goes elsewhere, whether it be about your pets, boyfriends, family, or getting food, somehow it's never on the particular subject of the class.

And then, of course, there is that moment where you snap out of your daydream and try catching up to what the professor is talking about in hopes that you won't get called on.


At this point, you usually have a break before your next class and its the perfect time to get lunch, NOT. Usually, your schedule will mix with a lot of other students' schedules and everyone goes to lunch around the same time and it takes forever to get that wrap you were day dreaming about in class. But regardless, it will probably be the highlight of your day because who doesn't love food.

After all your classes are over, you have dinner, maybe go to the gym and to all your extra curricular activities. Then you get to the point where its time to do your homework and by the end of that you tend to look like this:


Last but not least, its the point of the day where you can go back to bed and watch Netflix until you pass out. Whether you finished all your homework and feel good about it or procrastinated and ignored it, crawling into bed gets you into a much better mood.

Now thats the day in the life of the typical college student.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
