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.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
