In the morning, I wake up to the sunlight striking my eyelids through a small opening in the curtains, I grab my phone to look for important updates relating to schoolwork and friends, then I finish up to go to university. When at university I wait in front of the library until it opens at 7:30, during my waiting time I schedule my priorities for the day.
 
When I enter the library, I search for a quiet spot near the window and study there until my first class starts. About 15 minutes before the class I text a classmate to ask if they are on campus yet and I start proceeding towards the class. While waiting for my classmate I remind myself of my academic responsibilities and decide to send my classmates reminders for tests and assignments that are due soon.
 
After I've found a seat in the usual part of class I sit down and my friends join me, the lecture starts. I listen to the anthropology lecturer and as he speaks, I try to derive interdisciplinary insights from the content being shared through relating its significance to psychology, geography and economics where applicable. After the lecture ends, me and my classmate briefly discuss the content's difficulty and practical value, we exit the lecture hall and there is still quite some time left until our next class, so we go to the shop to buy some sugary drinks.
 
While conversing, one of my other classmates joins our conversation, we discuss our hobbies and plans for the weekend and become so captivated in each other's company that 2 hours fly by while it felt like mere minutes. Geography class is almost about to start so we start walking to that side of campus. On our way there I see some friends from high school, so I greet them. The geography lecture passes, and I leave that classroom with an urge to study, because all the new terminology gave me a bit of a shock.
 
After geography I'm messaged by a friend telling me that she is struggling with psychology and would like some tutoring, I arrange a spot where we can study for an hour, and I eagerly teach about my passion and savour the opportunity to hone my teaching skills. After tutoring I go home, have dinner with the family, study till 10 and finish up before I go to bed.
