A Day In The Life Of A Stevenson University Student

Stevenson University is a college unlike any other. As a smaller sized private college, going through big changes, Stevenson is surely unique. With three campuses, shuttles, and finicky wi-fi, a student’s day is all but smooth. Despite a potentially rocky start to a day, students have nothing but love for the Stevenson family and community. Here is an average day in the life of a Stevenson student.

7:00 a.m.: Wake up after seven alarm snoozes and rush out the door to Rockland in order to get food before your 8 a.m. or just shove in a granola bar as you’re running to catch the shuttle.

8:00 a.m: Walking from the shuttle to your class (which you are already late for) because the shuttle schedule wasn’t running on time.

9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.: Going from class-to-class, and from one campus to another before either being done for the day or stopping for a lunch break.

1:00 p.m.: If you’re on the Owings Mills campus, you are likely to scarf down some food at Rockland, but if you are lucky, you will get the chance to use flex dollars elsewhere. If you’re at Owings Mills North, well there’s not much of an option there…. If you are at Greenspring at this time, well you are one lucky dog for they have the best food out of any campus.

2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.: You are either finishing up classes for the day or heading to your on-campus job so you won’t be “college broke” any longer.

5:00 p.m.: Here is where you make the important decision of whether or not you get an early dinner and beat the rush, or cram in some homework for an hour before eating. It is also the time where you will see what Rockland has as their dinner option, and contemplate whether you really even want to eat at all.

7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.: As both athletic events and club meetings are going on at this time, you have yet another important decision to make. You must decide whether you want to go watch the soccer game or attend one of the meetings for the multiple clubs you are involved in.

9:00 p.m.: Well it’s that time of the night where your loads and loads of homework is just beginning to be done. You have three papers, two forums, and 72 club projects to work on, not to mention you have to get up early in order to make it to Jazzman's before getting on the shuttle.

11:00 p.m.: In the midst of doing homework, your RA is knocking on your door, checking in during rounds, which causes you to start a conversation, which can go on for about 45 minutes.

1:00 a.m.: Exhaustion is setting in but you have only one more paragraph of the paper that is due tomorrow. You are likely to fall asleep on your desk while struggling to keep your eyes open.

3:00 a.m.: You wake up sweating because your suitemate turned the heat all the way up and their door is locked and you can’t turn it down. Then the dread hits before falling back asleep as you realize that you have to wake up in a few hours and do the same routine all over again….

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
