6:32 a.m. — Wake up way too early because I am stressed about getting to my tutorial on time. Try not to wake up my roommate.

6:50 a.m. — Walk/run to the JRC.

6:55 a.m. — Begin attempting to print tutorial homework.

7:05 a.m. — Printing was much easier than expected and I now have lots of time for breakfast.

7:12 a.m. — Ate some hash browns and quiche instead of my usual Raisin Bran. It was a good decision.

8:00 a.m. — Tutorial starts. Ahhhhh! Mildly stressed out because my peers have to read my writing but whatever! Everything’s fine!

8:57 a.m. — During our five minute break in tutorial I run downstairs and refill my water in the Grill. Definitely the best water I’ve encountered on campus so far.

9:54 a.m. — Help some fellow first-years print stuff in the JRC.  Feeling super cool and in the know.

9:57a.m. — I fight off the urge to go back to my room and nap. I instead go to the library.

10:05 a.m. — Honestly, I’m really confused by the library. Where do people not talk? Can I take up a whole table by myself? Is that rude? Is it weird for me to study by myself?

11:23 a.m. — Leave the library to go eat lunch and beat the Dining Hall lunch rush.

11:32 a.m. — Make a beeline to the vegan station, even though I’m not vegan — Is that bad? Idk.

11:37 a.m. — Take a panicked look around the room hoping to spot some familiar faces. Finally see people I recognize. Thank goodness.

12:22 p.m. — Drop off my plate and cup, remembering before I put my tray down to pick up my silverware. Feeling like a true D-Hall pro at this point.

12:30 p.m. — Go to the College Garden to water my bean plant for tutorial. It’s not doing too well … oops.

12:42 p.m. — Run up to my room to grab a few things and stay there longer than intended.

12:50 p.m. — Swiftly jog to class, definitely not taking the best sidewalk route.

1:15 p.m. — Older people in my classes are kinda scary, but super nice!

2:30 p.m. — Think about going for a run, decide not to go.

2:34 p.m. — Take a quick break and do the New York Times crossword puzzle for the day … didn’t do so hot on this one.

3:00 p.m. — Head back to the library to get some work done.

3:43 p.m. — Spend an absurd amount of time choosing a new laptop background. Who knew you can have a rotating background!? So exciting!!

4:15 p.m. — Head back to my dorm to toss on a nice clean Dining Hall uniform and head to the JRC to eat an early dinner before my shift.

5:10 p.m. — Cutting vegetables is a lot harder than expected and I’m #stressed.

9:10 p.m. — Finally done with work, smelling mildly of vegetables.

9:15 p.m. — Change clothes and head back to the library for the final grind of the day. I really gotta start working faster… yikes.

10:40 p.m. — Call it quits on homework for the night, I tell myself I’ll wake up early to finish in the morning. That may or may not happen.

11:00 p.m. — Say goodnight to my roommates and read some Jane Austen before falling asleep.
