A day in my life as a tourism student

As I wake up in the morning, the first thing I usually do is grab my phone and check my social media accounts, most especially TikTok. I’m really not a morning person, so scrolling through my phone helps me ease into the day whenever I wake up early. Since my classes usually start at 1 PM, I have plenty of time to do chores. After using my phone, I fold my blanket, fix my bed, wash my face, and clean around the house by sweeping and mopping the floor. Once I’m done, I prepare a light breakfast, usually hot chocolate and bread, since I prefer not to eat heavy meals in the morning.

At around 9 AM, I take a bath, which often takes almost an hour because I like taking my time. After that, I iron my uniform to look neat and presentable, then do my makeup while listening to music. My getting-ready routine takes a lot of time, so I always make sure to start early because to be honest sometimes even two hours isn’t enough for me. Once I’m ready, I pack my things and prepare my lunch. My brother usually drives me to school and picks me up afterward, so transportation is not a problem, and I’m really grateful for that.

When I arrive at school, I usually wait a few minutes before entering the room since I often arrive early. Once class starts, I listen attentively to my teachers so I can better understand the lessons and gain more knowledge. After my classes end, I quickly messaged my brother to come pick me up. When I get home, I remove my makeup, eat dinner, take a half bath, and do my skincare routine before going to bed. Although being a student can be draining at times, I genuinely enjoy getting ready and going through my daily routine, and I’m thankful for my college friends who always have my back and make college life more bearable. 🤍
