A day in my life.

There is a slow beam of sunshine rising from my window seal and as it shines on my skin, my alarm goes off at 7am, signalling the start of yet another chaotic day. I usually hit the snooze button at least three times, but by 07:30, I am out of bed. A quick shower helps me wake up, and by 07:50, I am dressed and ready to face the day. I have been told numerous times that breakfast is crucial, so I grab something quick and yet healthy, like bran flakes. While eating, I review my schedule for the day and make sure that I have everything I need for the day's lectures. My backpack is packed with my laptop, textbooks, notebooks, pens and highlighters, and of course a few snacks. Usually, my first class at 9am and today we are discussing genders, sex and sexuality, as well as cultural norms in Sociology. I always try to sit near the front to stay engaged and minimize distractions. As the lecturer engages, I am intrigued by the topic and I start asking questions during the session, which is something I hardly ever do because from a young age, I have always been afraid that people would mock or insult my questions or opinions but being in university is coming in handy because it is helping me build my confidence. By 11am, I am in the next lecture room waiting for a different lecturer of a different module to present his topic or work for the day. By 12pm time, my brain is only able to encode a certain percentage of the information being taught to us and I am ready to grab lunch and refresh my myself for a study session in the school's library. I meet up with my friends who are already seated at our favourite spot in the cafeteria. It is a great time to catch up and take a mental break from studies. I am a huge fan of the sausage rolls at the cafeteria and so I opt for it and a bottle of water. After a great and fruitful session with my friends, we head to the library together but for different reasons of course. On a regular day, I spend about 2 hours at the library and also depending on how busy the library is on that day but today, I decided to spend 4 hours in there because the space was very quiet, and I managed to cover most of my Psychology content I was left behind with. By 5pm, I am ready to go home and, on my way back, I do a little self-introspection and appreciate the little things we have on this earth like the trees that give us oxygen and the sky that reminds me to always aim high in everything I do. When I get to my place, the room is silent and cold. I then remember that I live alone now, and I will not be coming back to a heart-warming homecooked meal for a while until schools so that I can go back home. Without wasting anymore time, I place my bag on my study table, and get ready to take my last shower of the day. Once I am done with that, I throw myself on my bed and take a power, to recharge for my evening study session which usually ends around 12am, depending on the amount of work I need to get covered. With that being, I am usually in bed by midnight, ready to get some rest and recharge for another day.
