A “Normal” College Day As a Hawkeye

Hello Everyone, 

I hope your day is going well. But today I am going to give you a little look into a busy day in college. Everyone’s schedule is different, but here is what a normal Thursday for me here at uiowa looks like for me. 

6:30-7:50: I get up early on school days not only to prepare for classes, but my skin and makeup routine takes time, so I like to be up early to give myself time to get through that routine.

8:00-8:30: I take this time to get to campus and grab a caffeine drink. My top places are dunkin, Hyper, Midnight Coffee, or kindred. I also walk to class and get ready to start the day 

8:30-10:20: on Thursdays, I have an 8:30 am Digital Science lab. Today (1/29), we worked on using Google Maps to describe our lives.

10:20-11:00 I walk to my next class and recollect my thoughts. I like to put music on and just look at my planner. I also have a class right after this break, so I get prepped for that. 

11:00-12:15: This is my second class of the day, which is Literature and Culture of the Americas. We are reading a book right now and discussing the theme, and we look into the connections to the theme of the class.

12:15-2:30: Lunch time, Study, and more. I do a lot of the homework I need to do at this time. I hate having homework on the weekends, so I like to do it over the bigger breaks in my schedule I have. 

2:30-3:20: I have university choir. We sing for 50 minutes 4 days a week.

3:30-4:45 My last class of the day and week. It is my Craft and Method class. It’s another discussion class. 

4:45-8:00 post-class, I usually go home, eat dinner, and get ready to work a late-night shift. I don’t have classes on Friday, so I work Thursday nights. 

8:00-2:00 work of my evening job. I only work weekend nights for this job because you still need to rest for those big tests. But I like getting to get a new pace every weekend when I work.

Friday, early morning.

2:00am-3:00am: get ready for bed! For a weekend. Plus again, my nighttime skincare routine is extensive.

Anyway, even though I have a long day, I truly enjoy my busy schedule; I always feel so accomplished. Like I am someone who hates sitting still, so with a busy schedule, I actually feel my best and most confident.

Cheers,
Rose
