A Week in the Life of a College Student

Week in the life of a college student

Monday- I work 12-3 for Campus Dining. My job is to wipe tables and take out the garbage. Then I come back to my apartment and work on homework for the week for a few hours. Then Kaity (my roommate) and I make dinner and watch tv. Then possibly more homework. Oh, then I suppose I go to bed. (Yes, I am one of few college students who need a full nights sleep to function!)

Tuesday- Wake up around 9 am. I get ready, eat breakfast, and then drive over to an inner city Grand Rapids Middle School where I tutor 6th graders in Geography. I always bring some sort of candy to bribe them to work hard. They really make me laugh. I never knew 12 and 13 year olds could be so funny. I am there til around 1 pm (I always want to stay longer). After tutoring comes lunch, usually prepared by Justin for when I come home. I have an art class from 2:30-3:45 (Yes, we learn how to make art projects for young children. This week we are making animals out of recycled materials), American Constitutional Foundations from 4-5:15 (I feel like I should care about the constitution and how it was thought up but in all honesty, I really could care less), By now I am about ready for a nap but I must go on, so I go to the best on campus food establishment (where I eat for free because I work for Campus Dining) and eat dinner. Oh, don't worry. My day isn't done yet. From 6-8:50 I have geography. It's not the most interesting material but the class is easy, so what can I say. FINALLY I get on the bus (my preferred method of transportation) and go home. Guess what happens next? I put on my pajamas and do NOTHING!

Wednesday- Pretty much a repeat of Monday. Work again, 12-3. I come home and eat dinner. The only thing different is that today Justin in home so we hang out. I might do some homework, watch some tv, hang out with friends... Then bed.

Thursday- Well, if Monday and Wednesday are the same then you can guess that Tuesday and Thursday are the same. At least up until dinner, that it. Instead of Geography I have Movement and Dance. It is basically a gym class for elementary teachers. We play tag, do the hokey pokey, play kickball, you know. This is where I get my exercise for the week.

Friday- The best day of all! I work 1-close, which is about 5:30. I make smoothies, ice cream cones, milk shakes and other items of the same sort until 3. Then I must clean my station and take apart the not so pleasing soft serve ice cream machine. Then I come home and have NO plans or obligations again until Monday.

Weekend- I most likely will go home to my parents house to do laundry. Mom will cook something yummy. Keira and I will play baby dolls or whatever she chooses. The weekend is the best time to get homework done, although I don't usually accomplish much.

Then I start all over again!
I hope I entertained you.
Much love, Melissa =)
