A Day In The Life Of A UK Student

8:00 a.m.

You hear your alarm, hit snooze, and then goes back to sleep.

8:53 a.m.

Jumps out of bed, realizes that you probably won't make it to your 9:00 a.m. and considers crawling back under the sheets. Then realizes that you've already used your one excused absence for the semester. Grabs jacket and backpack and leaves dorm in pajamas, hoping no one will notice.

9:02 a.m.

You're about to walk into the class, already knowing you're two minutes late. Absolutely dreading the stares you'll get as you open the loud door and walk into the the 100+ student lecture. You panic because you can't find a seat right away, so you aimlessly walk down the isle until one catches your eye. You sit down, and someone already comments on your pajamas. But you don't care, because you're comfy and still half asleep.

12:00 p.m.

You're finished with your classes for the day and you go to the 90 to get lunch. You tell yourself that you are going to eat something different today. But, you walk in and naturally go and get the same turkey sandwich as you do every day.

12:36 p.m

And you're already crashing. Watching Netflix last night until 3 a.m. suddenly wasn't such a good idea. You need a midday pick-me-up so you head over to Willy T Starbucks to grab a quick drink.

12:45 p.m.

You make it to Starbucks but see that the line is a mile long. You contemplate leaving, but the coffee smells too good. While standing in line, you can't help but to get frustrated because all you want is a regular coffee, and you hear everyone else ordering their non-fat, no whip, venti white chocolate mochas with soy milk. No wonder the line takes so long.

1:23 p.m.

You grab your coffee and go find your friends who are sitting in the library. You have a ton of homework due tonight, so you want to get as much as you can done now.

2:00 p.m.

You have accomplished nothing at the library because you and your friends have been talking about what to do for Spring Break. Suddenly, you trap yourself into getting on Pinterest. You accept the fact that you will get nothing done right now.

2:45 p.m

Now that you've procrastinated enough, and you're somewhat awake, you decide you really need to do homework. You say bye to your friends and head back to your dorm.

3:10 p.m

You get back to your dorm and see that your roommate is heading to the gym. For a moment, you feel as if you should go, since you haven't gone all semester. But, then you remember that it takes a lot of effort to get there. So, you lay down on your bed for a super quick power nap.

7:00 p.m

Randomly, you wake up very confused and slightly unsure what day it is. Your super quick power nap turned into a 4-hour slumber. Though it was a much-needed nap, you really need to get yourself together and do your homework.

9:17 p.m

You finally have done a decent amount of homework. You head over to Red Bang Bang and get your quality $3 feast.

10:25 p.m

You get back to your dorm and hang out with your floor-mates. Everyone is pigging out on ice-cream and leftover pizza while telling stories from the weekend before.

12:00 a.m.

Time got away from you and your floor-mates, you crawl back into your bed and attempt to fall asleep.

12:03 a.m.

You're wide awake and not falling asleep anytime soon. Mad Mush cheese-sticks sound too good.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
