Hello!
I hope your week has been going well so far. The busyness of the weekend has definitely spilled into this week, but it’s all good!
I’ve been seeing a few bloggers do a day in the life post (which is actually one of my favorite posts to read), so I felt like posting one this week as well. Maybe I’m just super nosy, but there’s something fun about knowing what others do on a regular day. Daily life happens, so why not talk about it and share the similarities and differences with one another? I feel like a day in the life post is also a way to reflect on all the little things that brightened our day 🙂
Some of you adults may not want to re-live the high school days, but that’s what I’m bringin’ for ya on this WIAW. Here is a typical day of eats and activities for this high school senior!
Hooray for Jenn, the host of the wonderful WIAW party!
6:34 AM — Internal alarm wakes me up one minute before the phone alarm rings. Turn off alarms and decide that I can actually roll out of bed right away. Freshen up in the bathroom.
6:45 AM — Morning prayer + change + makeup.
7:00 AM — Open the fridge excitedly to get my favorite breakfast waiting for me!
Enjoyed while reading and commenting on blogs per usual.
7:35 AM — Kiss mom goodbye and drive off to school.
7:40 AM — Traffic on one of the busier roads + stuck behind a truck stopped in the middle of the road and taking up a whole lane.
7:45 AM — Realize the senior parking lot is full. Go to park at the other lot that’s a little farther away. A little morning walk in the frigid air never hurt anyone…just keep your face down from the burning cold wind.
8:00 AM — School starts.
9:30 AM — Snack in Italian class. Discreetly open the wrapper…
{Photo taken at home before school} Taste of Nature Polynesian Coconut Breeze bar that my parents brought from Canada. This tasted like a lemony coconut macaroon! So delicious.
10:30 AM — Snag some Cheerios from Kristi in Business Calculus (see my Cheerio algebra here). 😉
We obviously had an extremely productive class taking statistics of what each student preferred at Chipotle.
I also learned that I would be in deep trouble if I actually bought stocks in the real world. I’m losing over $3,000 right now. WHOLE FOODS IS LETTING ME DOWN.
11:50 AM — Lunch tiiiiime!
Turkey, cheese, spinach, mustard sandwich {recycled photo}
Clementine {photo taken at home because I forgot to take one at school}
2:45 PM — Drive my friend home because it’s too flippin’ freezing outside for her to walk home.
3:00 PM — Afternoon snack while reading some blogs and catching up on emails.
Fage strawberry yogurt
Popcorn (this handful times, like, 7)
3:30 PM — Conjure up the courage to be somewhat political. I call NY Representative Nita Lowey’s office in DC to tell her that I want her to vote for a certain bill. A young guy at her office answered, jotted down the request, and it was over. I feel like such a citizen! 😉
3:35 PM — Do homework and study for Italian midterms. I never leave the space heater during this time. I pace back and forth and even do squats in front of it to evenly heat my body, all while trying to memorize Italian phrases.
5:00 PM — Discreetly smile and jump up and down when I find out I got into the University of Maryland and their Honors College! My mom is in the kitchen with me, but I don’t want to tell her about it quite yet. She’s cooking and I’m finishing studying.
5:10 PM — Give mom a big hug and quickly say, “I got into the Honors College at Maryland.” Her immediate response is to take a picture of the letter on her iPhone and text it to Dad and Ben (she’s obsessed with technological communication, I swear).
A celebratory/pre-ballet snack:
Homemade granola bar
6:00 PM — Ballet and pointe!
7:30 PM — Eat a few pita chips on the little break transitioning from ballet to pointe.
8:15 PM — I am hungry for dinner! Ballet is the dance class that always leaves me super hungry.
Farro, leftover Chinese food (fish/tofu), blanched Chinese greens.
Write up this blog post while eating.
9:40 PM — “Dessert” and some more college discerning.
Dried figs and Greek yogurt
10:15 PM — Shower and get ready to hit the sack. But I actually go to bed within an hour or so.
That’s a wrap! I hope my day was at least a little bit interesting or relatable to you. 🙂 Have a lovely Wednesday!
So tell me:
Do you enjoy day in the life posts?
