Typical Student Day

Today: had an ongoing fight with my alarm till 10. Wake up, realise it's too late for a shower - dry shampoo to the rescue. 
Go to 12pm tutorial: this is the only one out of 3 that I actually enjoy. Oh wait, I really like my other tutorial on a Monday, so yeah just the Wednesday one I don't like. Finish at 1, go to Tesco Express and struggle to carry two bags home with 3 bottles of fizzy flavoured water and 4 pints of milk in. Plus apples and bananas.. of course a lovely bar of Galaxy 
Get home, tidy room, eat Galaxy (regret this now because I'm hungry). Watch Family Guy for a while, try to get in touch with site office to get our shower fixed. Laze around, attempt work, watch family guy instead, and go on TSR. At about 6pm, realise I'm in the crap if I don't do some work, so have been quite productive since then

This was my day today...
7am: alarm goes off. Turn off alarm. Just lie down for 1 more minute.
8.30am: wake up (when did I fall asleep?!) I have to leave for my 9.30 lecture at quarter to 9. Don't bother with lecture. Go on Facebook instead.
9.30am: Wander downstairs and make tea. Come back up and watch 2 episodes of Coppers on 4od.
11.30am: Realise I want to make soup but have no canellini beans (essential, obvs). Go to co-op in PJs. Buy beans and (for some reason) wine.
12pm: Make soup. Get too hungry and make a tuna sandwich whilst it's cooking. Don't end up eating soup.
1pm: Go to room and watch new Glee episode illegally online. Write blog on DeviantART.
3pm: Go downstairs and chat to housemates, drink tea, read Heat magazine.
5pm: Start getting ready for night out (not supposed to be going out til 10pm, but it's PJ themed and I want a reason to wear my pyjamas).
7pm: Watch funny videos on Youtube/collegehumor. Go on Facebook and stalk people from school.
9pm: Recieve text that night out is cancelled - that's okay, I'm ready for bed anyway!
9.30pm: Start tidying room to avoid doing any sort of work. Tell self that I'll be able to work better with a tidy room and that it's for my own good.
10.30pm: Get bored and have a micro-nap.
11.00pm: Should do some work. Decide to watch 4od instead. Search studentroom for things to watch on 4od as I've already exhausted my list. Find this thread and tell you what I did with my day!

For the last 2 days I've woke up at about 1pm, had a shower, had dinner, gone on facebook and watched TV and about now I'm thinking about doing some work. Oh and went to uni for half an hour to do a study. It's quite boring having 3 days with no lectures tbh...

Get woken up by alarm at 7:30 or 8:30.
Snooze till 8:30 or 9:30. Race out of bed realising I'll be late for 9am/10am lecture. Have shower, get dressed, make mug of tea, leave house, attend lectures, if possible return back home and sleep in between lectures, come home when finished and noodle around on the internet, in front of the tv or on my guitars. Sometimes get down to some work. Cook dinner at around 6 or 7pm. return to what I was doing before dinner.
Intend to go to bed at midnight, actually go to bed at 2am.
Set alarm for 7:30 or 8:30
That's every weekday that I have a 9am or 10am lecture.
The weekends are more like wake up at 12 or 1 then noodle around on the internet/tv/guitars, maybe go round to someone elses flat and have a small house party at night. Then on sunday do work.

how about weekends guys? friday night, what do you get up to and what time do you end up getting some sleep?
Lol what sleep sweetheart?
on a good week end I know i cant sleep even if i wanted to! HAha!
Yesterday was pretty standard.
Wake up 10.05 for a 11am seminar in which I've got an exam. Ring a taxi and hurry around and put some clothes/make-up on. Taxi gets me to uni just in time but I'm £12 poorer.
Do my exam, have a fag break, find out I've passed so it's all good.
Go to the doctors to book an appointment.
Meet friends in town, go shopping and buy alcohol for that night.
Really tired so I attempt to nap but ended up at my friends flat watching episodes of Newport Harbour.
Get in the shower at 7pm. Get ready for a night out, finished by quarter to ten.
Make our cocktail and drink,11pm I'm gone.
Go out and apparently have a good night but I can't remember anything at all.
Make a trip to the burger van on my way home, fall asleep whilst eating chips so I wake up this morning at 10am with a greasy chip stuck to my face
Drag my hungover arse into uni for my doctors appointment.
Would not get away with having such a lazy/tragic lifestyle anywhere else, Uni is amazing.

(edited 11 years ago)
Wake up any time between 9am and midday depending on previous night's antics
Go in kitchen and despair at how bad it looks/smells, eat whatever I've got in the house
Possibly go to a lecture/tutorial depending on the day of the week and whatnot
Do whatever I need to do (shopping, gym, studying etc.)
Eat something.
Evenings will either consist of:
Going out to work (pub job)
Staying in to study - this only happens in desperate times very close to deadlines
Going out to the pub or over to someone else's halls or sometimes the union and possibly onto a bar or club or whatever depending on the plans for the evening.
After tomorrow (my last exam) there will be a lot more sleeping and drinking to be done
Uni is really fun but I don't think you represent the best of it with 'average days' because it's always the un-average days where you have the best time.
