Re: Typical Student Day
Today: wake up at 12, bum around on TSR for ages, finally get the energy to do my washing, chat to friends then write up an assignment. Now waiting for dinner to cook (haddock from the reduced (destroyed boxes/ nearly out of date) frozen section of Sainsburys because I'm poor
)

Re: Typical Student Day
Wake up at 9am. Decide to skive 2 hour biology lecture as the Powerpoints are on Blackboard anyway. Watch daytime tv-Jeremy Kyle and This Morning. Go into uni for boring afternoon tutorial. Then wait 45 minutes in the dark and freezing cold for the crappy uni bus service which at rush hour is always late. The bus is meant to be every 10-15 minutes. Order pizza. Watch Simpsons, Hollyoaks and Masterchef. Drink a nice cup of tea. Go to bed.

Re: Typical Student Day
Woke up at 8.30, went back to sleep and enagged in a snooze battle with alarm lasting until 10.30....
had tea whilst doing not much on the internet, went to lunch, finally ended up vacuuming my room, had a peek at my assements and suchlike....edited my vlog, watched the road to el dorado, dealt drugs (gave paracetamol to my friend) at dinner, more not doing much on the internet.
I'm sure the less geeky people are going out or something less loserish like that

Re: Typical Student Day
7.00am - wake up, shower, facebook.
8.00- breakfast
8.30 - either walk to first lecture or back to my room for an hour if they start at 10.
9.00 - First lecture/lesson/seminar (most days)
10.00 - Head to library to do homework.
12.30 - meet up with friends for lunch/chatting.
2.00pm - More lectures.
4.00-5.00 finish lectures for the day, get the bus back to halls (I'm usually tired by this point!)
5.30 - text my mates to see if anyone wants to get dinner with me.
6.00 - get dinner with people.
6.30 - come back, check post, go back to my room to check email and stuff.
7.00 - finish any homework not done yet. Once that's done, play The Sims or watch tv.
9.30 - shower and wash hair, usually more facebook/internet/sims/tv after that.
10.00-11.00pm bed.
Then again, I'm boring!

Re: Typical Student Day
Wake up at 7.30/8.30 depending on when first lecture etc. starts. Hit snooze and go back to sleep for another 45 minutes. Get up and go to lectures/lab etc. Buy lunch in union shop and eat in bar with friends. Go to afternoon lectures then go home and spend most of the evening doing homework or playing games on the internet.

Re: Typical Student Day

Way 1;
Wake up with a hangover/comedown
Shower

Do very little
Sleep
Way 2;

Already missed lectures.
Laze around in sweatpants and a vest
Do very little
Sleep.
That's my uni life.
Amazing how I am getting 2:1's -
Re: Typical Student DayTuesday is my day off, that's why I did nothing :P I actually have a pile of reading (300-400 pages total, probably) and a piece of coursework, and notes I should be making. Typical student day is lazy because we're lazy; if you wanna get the grades then do the work (which I will do. In 5 minutes. Honest.)(Original post by The Cornerstone)
Most of the responses so far suggests that a typical day is a easy lazy day.
Can't wait to go to uni

Re: Typical Student Day
Usually:
Wake up
Cry about being awake
Force self out of bed
Stumble into shower
"Breakfast? Hoho breakfast is for the weak"
Go to lecture
"I AM SO HUNGRY"
Hunt down a tasty morsel to eat
Forget everything from lecture
Bumble off home/ get a tube somewhere fun
Doss around for hours on end
Consider making dinner
"Grapes and yoghurt it is"
Get invited out
"Sleep or social life?"
Go out on the basis that you'll only have one drink and then go and start assignment
Find out it's a cheap night at the Union
Roll home
Look in purse and cry
BBC iPlayer
Attempt to sleep
Fail -
