A Day in My Life

Hey everyone! Below is a Monday in my life as a UPenn Sophomore who is studying Economics in the College:

6:00 AM - I woke up bright and early this morning. I have been really trying to utilize the mornings to get my body moving for the day and to get a lot of my assignments done. I also slept around 10:15 the night before!

6:15 AM - I headed to the gym and specifically worked on triceps, shoulders, and chest. I genuinely love going to the gym in the morning because it really kick starts my day and makes me feel more productive and energized throughout the day.

7 AM - I headed back to my dorm and got ready for the day!

7:45 AM - I headed to eat breakfast at Commons. I usually go for oatmeal and fruits as well as a hard boiled egg.

8:15 AM - I went to the Perelman Center Building to finish some assignments before my first class of the day which starts at 10:15 AM, and I always try to put my phone in my bag under my seat to allow myself to go into a flow state while working.

10:15 AM-11:15 AM - ECON 0200 Lecture

11:15 AM - Look through emails/messages from the night before/this morning

12 PM - 1 PM - SPAN 0400 Class

1 PM - I headed over to Houston to grab a salad from Ivy Leaf and my next class is at DRL, (David Rittenhouse Laboratory) so I headed to Shoemaker Green (the green grass area near DRL) and eat my lunch outside while enjoying the weather

1:45 PM - 3:15 PM - MATH 1070 Class

3:30 PM - 5 PM - I head over to Fisher Library (one of my favorite study spots on campus!) and study for upcoming ECON exam.

5 PM - 6 PM: I went to Claudia Cohen Hall because we had our College Cognoscenti Monthly GBM today! We are a very small, but tight-knit group and I love our Cogno group!

6:30 - 8 PM: Had one club meeting and an info session (one was in person and the other one was virtual respectively)

8 PM - 9 PM: Headed back to my dorm and chatted with my suitemate (We always debrief every single day!) I usually use this time to also call my family and other friends back home!

9 PM: I usually start getting ready to head to sleep around this time (or I really try to!)

9:15 PM - 9:45 PM: I have really made it a priority to read 30 mins every single night before going to sleep. I really enjoy reading memoirs and self development books. 

9:45 PM: I headed to sleep early today!
