Ever wondered what being a full-time college student is like? Picture this: a boat-load of schoolwork, a job or extracurricular commitments, and balancing a social life. The rumor is true, though \u2014 college students can find flexibility in their schedules. In high school, you were probably told that the only Calculus class available was at 9:00 am; in college, you will have ten sections, each at different times and days. This freedom can be reassuring, making it easier to plan and arrange demands, but it can also become your greatest nemesis. Time management means everything to the three students I interviewed, despite coming from varying disciplines and colleges across the country. See a glimpse of a day in their life below, and take this as a guide to help sort out your future in college.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Asap||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.8em” link_font=”Lato||||||||” link_text_color=”#0C71C3″ link_font_size=”20px” link_line_height=”1.8em” ul_font=”Lato||||||||” ul_text_color=”#000000″ ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.8em” ol_font=”Lato||||||||” ol_text_color=”#000000″ ol_font_size=”20px” ol_line_height=”1.8em” quote_font=”Lato||||||||” quote_text_color=”#000000″ quote_font_size=”20px” quote_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”10px||40px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”19px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”19px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ul_font_size_tablet=”” ul_font_size_phone=”19px” ul_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ol_font_size_tablet=”” ol_font_size_phone=”19px” ol_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” quote_font_size_tablet=”” quote_font_size_phone=”19px” quote_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

6:15 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0The most dreadful moment of the day. Snooze for five minutes, and then I\u2019m up and running.<\/span><\/p>\n

6:30 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Get up, stretch, and change into workout clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n

7:15 AM <\/strong><\/span>Drive to<\/span> Soul Cycle in West Hollywood \u2014 my go-to spot. Morning cardio sets the pace for my day and keeps my energy in check.<\/span><\/p>\n

8:40 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Shower at home and get ready for a busy school day.<\/span><\/p>\n

9:30 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0I usually try to get ahead on assignments or wrap up any pending tasks during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

11:00 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Early lunch to recharge and clean up the kitchen before my roommate gets home. Fresh salad with protein is a staple weekday meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

12:15 PM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Head to studio on campus. As an architecture major, I have a love-hate relationship with this mandatory requirement every semester. In the past, I\u2019ve studied housing and community studios. Now, I\u2019m focusing on immigration and refugees from the Mexican border to the U.S. Since studio requires me to create a meticulous, in-depth design process for unique topics, I invest most of my academic energy in the course \u2014 summing up to 10 hours of class weekly.<\/span><\/p>\n

1:00-6:00 PM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Back-to-back classes. I try to sneak a snack in between. Energy bars keep me alert.<\/span><\/p>\n

6:30 PM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Back home \u2014 leaving enough time to cook dinner, clean up, and do homework.<\/span><\/p>\n

10:30 PM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Bedtime. My warm, decaffeinated tea helps me wind down and relieve stress.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.jct4education.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Day-in-the-Life-of-a-College-Student.png” alt=”Day in the Life of a College Student” title_text=”Day in the Life of a College Student” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”40px||0px|||” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Asap||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”0.7em” link_font=”Lato||||||||” link_text_color=”#0C71C3″ link_font_size=”20px” link_line_height=”1.8em” ul_font=”Lato||||||||” ul_text_color=”#000000″ ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.8em” ol_font=”Lato||||||||” ol_text_color=”#000000″ ol_font_size=”20px” ol_line_height=”1.8em” quote_font=”Lato||||||||” quote_text_color=”#000000″ quote_font_size=”20px” quote_line_height=”1.8em” header_5_font_size=”17px” custom_margin=”30px||29px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”19px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”19px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ul_font_size_tablet=”” ul_font_size_phone=”19px” ul_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ol_font_size_tablet=”” ol_font_size_phone=”19px” ol_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” quote_font_size_tablet=”” quote_font_size_phone=”19px” quote_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

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

7:45 AM <\/strong><\/span>–<\/b>\u00a0After 25 minutes of snoozing, I finally find the energy and incentive to wake up.<\/span><\/p>\n

8:00 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Shower, change, and stop to get coffee near FiDi, my neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

9:15 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0I leave my apartment and head to work in Chelsea on the metro.<\/span><\/p>\n

9:30 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Start my work shift. As a PR intern at Purple, I do returns until 11 am, which is usually my most relaxed moment of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

11:30 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0At this point, I get in tune with my creative side and start working on clippings, as well as monthly reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

12:00 AM<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0I email stylists about looks and availability starting at noon.<\/span><\/p>\n

1:30 PM<\/strong>\u00a0During my one-hour break, I grab lunch with fellow interns. Our favorite spots are Just Salad and the deli tucked around the corner (the bacon egg and cheese is game-changing!).<\/span><\/p>\n

2:30 PM<\/strong>\u00a0When I\u2019m back in the office, I do send-outs, which essentially requires me to move around the city or office and fulfill certain tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

5:30 PM<\/strong>\u00a0I clock out of the office and head towards NYU for class. I always take a 30-minute stroll \u2014 no matter the weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

6:20 PM<\/strong>\u00a0My \u201cLaughing Animal\u201d class begins. This is a required course about comedy in the Renaissance (and surprisingly not about animals).<\/span><\/p>\n

9:00 PM<\/strong>\u00a0Return home. On warm days, Citi Bikes are my best friends, but in the winter season, I\u2019m stuck with plan B: the subway.<\/span><\/p>\n

9:20 PM<\/strong>\u00a0Cook dinner and simultaneously do homework or clippings for work.<\/span><\/p>\n

11:30 PM<\/strong>\u00a0I fall asleep while watching Schitt\u2019s Creek \u2014 my favorite show on Netflix.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”622″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.jct4education.com\/blog\/internships\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Asap||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.8em” link_font=”Lato||||||||” link_text_color=”#0C71C3″ link_font_size=”20px” link_line_height=”1.8em” ul_font=”Lato||||||||” ul_text_color=”#000000″ ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.8em” ol_font=”Lato||||||||” ol_font_size=”20px” ol_line_height=”1.8em” quote_font=”Lato||||||||” quote_text_color=”#000000″ quote_font_size=”20px” quote_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”30px||29px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”19px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”19px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ul_font_size_tablet=”” ul_font_size_phone=”19px” ul_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ol_font_size_tablet=”” ol_font_size_phone=”19px” ol_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” quote_font_size_tablet=”” quote_font_size_phone=”19px” quote_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

<\/strong><\/p>\n

7:15 AM<\/strong>\u00a0Wake up and roll out of bed to eat my overnight rolled oats (pun intended).<\/span><\/p>\n

7:45 AM<\/strong>\u00a0Work as a Resident Assistant (RA) at the office of Undergraduate Admissions and Housing & Residential Life until noon. I typically have a one-hour break to eat lunch.<\/span><\/p>\n

1:00 PM<\/strong> Attend class.<\/span><\/p>\n

2:15 PM<\/strong> Sit outside under Miami\u2019s scorching sun and make use of the extra time to start homework with friends. The best months to do this are November to February; don\u2019t even think about sitting out there in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

3:30 PM<\/strong>\u00a0Attend my second class of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

5:00 PM<\/strong> Another break before my 6:00 pm class. Snack cravings kick in right about now.<\/span><\/p>\n

6:00 PM<\/strong>\u00a0Last class until 7:15 pm.<\/span><\/p>\n

7:45 PM<\/strong> I do my best to squeeze in a workout. I always go to the UM gym, mainly out of convenience.<\/span><\/p>\n

8:45 PM<\/strong>\u00a0Dinner with my roommate. You\u2019ll find me eating Trader Joe\u2019s 99% of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n
