You vs. The Girl He Told You Not To Worry About: Quarantine Edition

9 AM : As her alarm rings, she promptly switches it off, ripping the cover off of her freshly spray tanned legs. She was already awake, so she took advantage of the few minutes she had to relax before her busy, busy day begins.

You fell asleep 4 hours ago, who are we kidding.

9:15 AM : Fresh faced and bed made, she's already in the kitchen meticulously scooping her home made granola she made the previous day during her self appointed free time onto her fat-free greek yogurt.

You know where you are…

9:45 AM : She puts her dishes away and heads over to her closet to pick out a fresh pair of bell bottom pants: comfy, yet stylish, and a cropped knit. She throws her so-called unsightly semi-greasy hair up in a ponytail. Maybe nobody else will see her, but she will, and that's enough motivation for her to look presentable.

You've tossed from the right side of your bed to the left. Progress ?

10:30 AM : Her teeth brushed and meditation session complete, she opens up her laptop and gets to work. She has time to dedicate to her career path, so why not take advantage of it ?

You've checked the time, grunted, and gone back to sleep.

12:30 PM : She's been in the zone, so much so that she hasn't gazed at the clock. As she turns to the upper hand corner of her screen, she realizes it's lunch time, but she has to finish something up first.

You've been scrolling through your phone and investigating all the intricate breakfast recipes you could try out. Oh wait, did you not finish that episode of All American last night ?

1 PM : She's standing in front of her fridge, debating between the different lunches she prepped on Sunday, there isn't a minute to waste !

You've opened up a couple of cupboards and realized you have all of two out of the thirteen ingredients you need for those pseudo-healthy waffles you were planning on whipping up. Cereal it is.

4 PM : It's been a busy day, she deserves a break from her work. She slips on a matching workout set before laying out her yoga mat in her living room and picking her Melissa Wood Health video of the day. Time for some self care.

You see all these shocking Chloe Ting "Abs in 2 Weeks" results on YouTube and figure that if they can do it, so can you. There you are, in your pajamas, doing crunches (or something resembling crunches) on the carpet beside your bed.

6 PM : She's been back at it for a while now and figures that she's been productive enough for a day, so why not draw herself a bath and enjoy a glass of wine while she reads a chapter of that book she luckily picked up before quarantine began?

You're still recovering from that Chloe Ting workout : most effort you've put into anything since that time you beat Bryan at beer pong...or was it Connor ? You're enjoying that bag of popcorn you're rewarding yourself with after performing such a demanding task.

7 PM : She's in a good mood. She pulls out her Gwyneth Paltrow cook book and decides tonight is the night to try out that intricate tasty looking recipe she's flipped over so many times, because she deserves it.

You could not be more excited that it's dinner time. A legitimate excuse to eat. But you're too hungry to consider anything fancy, you just need some comfort food. Microwaveable mac and cheese, anyone ?

9 PM : She's in her fresh set of Victoria's Secret pajamas, ready to curl up in bed. She lets herself enjoy another chapter of her book; it's still early.

You're in a questionable position on your couch, on episode 15 of… you're not sure which TV show, but it's good background noise as you scroll through her Instagram.

10 PM : Overjoyed, she discovers a new episode of Little Fires Everywhere came out. She turns off the light and draws all her attention to the single hour of TV she allows herself per day : we already spend too much time on our screens !

You've decided it's time to migrate from your couch to your bed, it's getting kind of cold, but why go out of your way to put on a sweatshirt when you have a perfectly good comforter to hide from yourself under ?

11 PM : The episode ends as her eyes start feeling heavy. She falls into deep sleep thinking about how proud Elena Richardson would be of all this structure.

You finished All American at some point in that blur of a day, so you're left browsing Netflix, thinking you've already seen all that stuff a million times by now. It's time to badger everyone you know with a Disney+ account until they give you their password.

3 AM : You know where she is.

You're asking yourself how it's already 3 AM. Having an intense The Simpsons marathon is more demanding than it may seem. Miraculously, you're feeling tired before the sun comes up. Maybe this is a sign of change for you; you're ready to take control of your life again.

12 PM : You know where she is.

You're a little confused about where you are, not to mention what day it is. Maybe tomorrow will be the day you get inspired by her blog ?

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
