The life of a busy college student

Now that school has begun and I have finally started figuring out my schedule, I’ve realized that I am extremely busy! I’m by 5 every weekday to get to the gym for a class. This is literally the only consistent time I have in my schedule to work out so I do it. I never want to get out of bed but it always feels really good when it’s done for the day. After my workout, my roommate and I zoom back to school so I have enough time to hop in the shower, eat breakfast and change for work. I have about 25 minutes to get that done before I have to head out for work. After work I do another quick outfit change and then Bailey and I head over to grab a coffee, check our mail and go to class. I have 2 classes each day, Monday/Wednesday/Fridays I am done at 1 and Tuesday/Thursdays I am done at 3:30. However, my life doesn’t slow down after class. Up until this last week I worked another job in the afternoons on Wednesdays and Fridays but I had to quit in order to fit my clinicals in. I am an elementary education major and I am in a class this semester that requires going to an elementary school for 15 hours this semester to help out, observe and just get experience. If I don’t have work or clinicals after class then I try and get some homework done. Then at 5:00 every day I head to choir which doesn’t get out until 6:15. After that it’s dinner and then back to my room for more homework! I also am involved in several different things during the evenings. Monday I have Remedy, a worship like service, Tuesday it’s bible study, Wednesday I have cru which is sort of like another bible study, Thursday I have meetings for a club I am involved in and Friday is my only day off from clubs and activities!

I don’t know why I decided it was a good idea to be involved in so many darn activities but having a busy schedule definitely forces me to be organized and focused in order to accomplish everything I need to. My goal was to pick out my workout outfit, work outfit and school outfit the night before but I have yet to be successful with this. I can easily pick out my workout outfit and my work outfit but I am never sure what I want to wear to class the next day or what the temperature will be like. I always say to myself, “you can just do it quick tomorrow morning”. What a mistake that is! It would be nice if I could wear the same outfit to class and work but my job requires a special uniform. I work at a Montessori school and they have a uniform; navy blue pants with navy, red or white on top. My goal for this week is to be prepared the night before so I don’t have to scramble or think about it in the morning.

Couldn't believe I put this outfit together in like 2 minutes!

New necklace-I was so excited to wear it



The other day, my roommate and I did laundry and I of course didn’t have time to grab my laundry out of the dryer in between all of my commitments. I came back to the dorms after classes and saw that my awesome roommate had not only brought up my laundry but she folded it too! Seriously, love that girl! She went home this weekend and I definitely realize how lonely it is without her! Can’t wait for her to come back today J
What an awesome roomie :)

LOVE HER <3
