A day in a life of a first year student

13 Mar 2024, 21:42 Publicly Viewable

In the early morning, I get awoken by the sound of an alarm clock, I take some time to wake up but eventually I do . I pray and brace myself for what's about to happen. After praying I go to the showers to and luckily I always find it empty as I barely see my housemates all day everyday. As soon as I finish taking a shower I pick out the outfit I'll wear and then I make some cereal with juice . As a student who lives off campus, our residences expects us to request for transport 30 minutes before the time we want to depart at . When the time is approaching I leave my room after checking if all my books are in order or not, I head outside then I see my housemate waiting for transport as well. I greet her , we talk for a bit then the transport arrives and we leave. As soon as I set foot on campus my social anxiety kicks in as there are many people looking at you and it is as if they can tell that you're a first year student. Since it is Tuesday the first class was social anthropology, we learnt and learnt then it was time to leave. I couldn't leave because I had another class to attend at 1pm so my friend and I went to the cafeteria to eat as we were waiting for the next class. I arrive at the next class which was KCom at 2:15 the class ended and I rushed outside to catch my transport luckily I was on time. All the other students get in as well and we leave , heading to our residences. As soon as I arrive I take a hot shower to wash and I feel my mood enlightened all of the sudden. Thereafter I heat up my dinner and eat, then I study for about 4 hours, 2 modules. After finishing with studying I read my Bible which heals me and I pray then I charge my phone. Finally I got to bed to rest my tired eyes.
