Spend the day with me as a second-year IT student. Spend the day with me as a second-year IT student. Because apparently, even three days of college a week can still take me out. But anyhow, good morning. Come with me because I have absolutely no idea what today is about to give. I don't know about you guys, but I feel like I can never get used to early mornings. Every time my alarm goes off, I have to have a little argument with myself about whether college is actually that important. Somehow, always end up getting ready anyway. Also, I feel like there's something about traveling to college that gives you so much time to just think. Like, I'll leave the house with one plan for the day, and by the time I get there, I've already had like different life plans. But anyway, we're making our way there, and I'm actually feeling quite good today. I don't have too many classes. I've got my little breakfast waiting for me. And I'm just hoping for a nice peaceful day. Emphasis on the peaceful. Although knowing my luck, um, we'll see about that. Also, random question, what are you guys like on your commute? Listening to music, watching TikToks, staring out the window dramatically like in a music video? Because I feel like I rotate between all three, and honestly, I really enjoy this part of my day. It's like that little bit of quiet before everything starts. You get to wake up properly, think about what you need to do, and mentally prepare yourself for whatever college decides to throw at you. Speaking of college, can we talk about the fact that I'm literally the only girl in my class? I know, it's so funny. Like, I walked into IT and somehow ended up surrounded by boys. But honestly, I'm used to it at this point. I'm just here to learn, get my work done, and mind my business. Emphasis on the mind my business. But yeah, being an IT student is definitely an experience. Some days I'm productive, some days I'm just happy I showed up. And today, let's just say I was ready to be over. I ended up sitting in for an online class, and somehow put myself together for an online class because apparently, even when your body is saying, girl, please rest, the time table says absolutely not. So I survived the class somehow, but by the end of it, my energy was completely gone. Honestly, I was just ready to close my laptop, get into bed, and disappear for the rest of the evening. Anyway, that was my day.
