A day in the life

I haven’t done a “day in the life” post since last semester!

This is a typical Tuesday for me.

5:00 a.m. – Wake up, eat breakfast, drink coffee. Breakfast lately has been oatmeal and peanut butter.oats
5:30 a.m. – Swim or run or lift weights.swimming
6:30 a.m. – Drive home from the gym, shower, have a snack, read my Bible.

7:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Do homework and pack a lunch. I usually pack a tuna sandwich, veggies, and anything else that looks good in the fridge. I typically grab a coffee at school because I’ve become friends with the woman who works at the coffee stand. She bakes me cookies sometimes.

11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Attend COMM 270, which is a multimedia design class. We are working on making a website and it’s really hard because I struggle with technology.007
12:15 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. Eat my lunch and drive to a local park about 10 minutes from campus to meet up with my mom and walk around the park’s pond.IMG_4946
12:45 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. Walk and talk with my mom. I love this part of my day! Afterwards, I drive back to campus.

2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Work on homework on campus. Eat a snack. I usually eat a granola bar or mixed nuts.luna

3:00 p.m. – 5:40 p.m. Attend CAS 204, which is a communications research prep course. This class is pretty tough–I’m learning about different research methods for my senior research project next semester. The professor gives us a 10 minute break during the class to break it up a bit. I usually pee because I drank too much coffee all day.

5:40 p.m. – 6:10 p.m. Drive home. I’m so glad it’s daylight savings time now because I don’t like driving in the dark.

6:10 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Heat up whatever my mom made for dinner and feast upon it. Sometimes if she’s busy or not home I “fend for myself” by heating up leftovers, cooking random things that I find in the refrigerator, or by making a sandwich.005

7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Catch up with my family to see how everyone’s day was, do homework if I have the energy, read blogs, and cuddle with Lola.lola
9:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Hit the hay. Yes, I go to bed extremely early. I love sleep 😀

  1. Wow your day looks so different from mine. My classes are all in the morning and I definitely don’t wake up at 5am! I need to be friends with someone who will bake me cookies.

  2. I LOVE your 5AM wake up! I get up that early to work at 6…Then by like 9 I’m ready to watch 30 rock and hit the sack 🙂

    How do you make the pb oats?

  3. I try to wake up early but it’s hard! Today I slept in until 7:30 AM! I guess I was just wiped out from the weekend though because of the race still, so maybe I needed the rest. Your college is really different from mine, all our classes were in the morning (well, morning or very early afternoon like 12:30-2ish. We never had classes at like 3, our campus was dead by then, haha.

    That’s awesome that you are friends with the person at the coffee shop on campus :). I’m trying to make friends with people like that here since I work at home, hehe.

  4. The thing I miss most about school is grabbing coffee on campus at the Starbucks in the library. I miss people watching so much and just being in the atmosphere of college! I made friends with the lady in my school’s convenience store. This sounds ridiculous but she used to let me get a glove to pick out my favorite flavors in the jelly bean bin! Hahahah. Love it!

  5. I love these kinds of posts! I find it so interesting to see how other people typically spend their days. You wake up so early! I like getting up early, but 5AM is sooooo early! I think that is so awesome that you and your mom meet up at the park in the middle of your day to spend some time together. And I don’t like driving in the dark either. Thank goodness for daylight saving time!

  6. That shot of you and Lola at the end… so cute! You have such beautiful hair, Allie!

  7. I love days in the life! And peanut butter and oatmeal….why have I not thought of this?! Trying it tomorrow! Thanks for the idea 🙂 That Luna bar also looks amazing. I’ve been pretty smitten with Clif (Cliff?) bars lately.

  8. I know I’m rather late but I always enjoy when people post these things. Especially because I know how realistic your life is and we can easily relate you know? Anyways-did you get bangs? I didn’t realize you did, maybe I’m a bit clueless when your hair is straight.
