Who would've thought that a slothful person like me would be productive? Yeah that's how lazy I am, like a sloth. This is how my day went.

My eyes snapped open, still heavy with sleep, being awoken  by the shrill sound of the alarm, shattering my peaceful sleep. The day began with a rollercoaster of feelings, I was feeling anxious and happy at the same time. I knew i had to choose one emotion, and obviously I would choose the joyful one because being anxious is now part of my daily routine.

I pulled myself out of bed like a sloth, headed to to open my curtains as i was struck by the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains. I knew it was laundry day because my clothes were starting to pile up like garbage at a dumping site. I was so indecisive, I had class at 09:00, I told my skeptical self that I had an hour to do my laundry, the other part of me was drowning in thoughts thinking i won't be done by 09:00. I quickly made myself a bowl of cereal filled with warm fresh milk. I headed to the bathroom and took a nice warm shower, felt like my body was unwinding from  the previous exhausting days where i had thousand submissions and tests.I got out in a rush like i was running track. It was 08;00 , an hour left before a long day is about to start.  I got dressed, as indecisive as i was i just picked up the closest outfit from my messy wadrobe. 

I rushed to the shuttle with my earpods plugged in my ears, my favourite gospel song playing, cheering me up for a new beautiful day. Getting in the shuttle felt like a stampede as everyone was pushing to get to class on time. Finaly arrived on campus, texted my friend so i don't look screwed and lost like a little sheep without its mother. I finally got to my first class of the day 3 minutes late, and as usual , you'd find the class looking at you like a thief just stole in a neighbourhood. My friend and I chose the nearest seat close to the enterance door, eagerly took notes and participated, papers filled with black ink. The hours flew by as we immersed ourselves in the world of academia, absorbing new information and expanding our knowledge. 

After the morning class it was time for a quick satisfying lunch, the bowl of warm cereal has left my small tummy. We rushed to the cafeteria and bought lunch to fill our groaning stomachs. We then rushed to our last class of the day, I couldnt participate as i was sleepy from the lunch. Class was terminated before time, best news of the day that filled my ears with breeze. We visited the library filled with dedicated students, silent as a baby stealing sweets. We did our school work and became productive.

As the day progressed my friend and I headed to the ice cream shop to reward ourselves. Finally, as the sun sets and the day comes to an end, we headed back to our dorms, exhausted but satisfied. I was contemplating on whether i should cook or rest. I decided to make myself some spaghetti and mince so i can fill my not so empty stomach,

I crawled in bed and that was the most satisfying moment of my life.
