Hello Everyone,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019s schedule is different, but here is what a normal Thursday for me here at uiowa looks like for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6:30-7:50:<\/b> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

8:00-8:30:<\/b> 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\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

10:20-11:00<\/b> 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

11:00-12:15:<\/b> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

12:15-2:30:<\/b> 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2:30-3:20:<\/b> I have university choir. We sing for 50 minutes 4 days a week.<\/span><\/p>\n

3:30-4:45<\/b> My last class of the day and week. It is my Craft and Method class. It\u2019s another discussion class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4:45-8:00<\/b> post-class, I usually go home, eat dinner, and get ready to work a late-night shift. I don\u2019t have classes on Friday, so I work Thursday nights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8:00-2:00<\/b> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday, early morning.<\/b><\/p>\n

2:00am-3:00am:<\/b> get ready for bed! For a weekend. Plus again, my nighttime skincare routine is extensive.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nRose<\/p>\n
