Typical Tuesday and Wednesday in the life of me: first semester

When I was a high school student, thinking about college life, one of the things I wondered about was what a typical day was like. I knew what high school was like and people always said that college was so different. And so understandably, I was curious and if you are anything like I was, you are too. Well, this is your lucky day! Here is what Tuesdays and Wednesdays are like through my eyes (first semester) **Remember, since I am an athlete, I do have a few added activities than other students and this of course affects my schedule and makes it extra crazy and fun**:

Tuesday:
5:50am Wake Up
6:10am Breakfast
7:00am-9:20am Practice
9:30am-10:00am Physical Therapy for my shoulder
10:15am Shower
10:30am Lunch
11:10am-12:25pm Latin Class
12:45pm-2:00pm Criminal Law Class
2:10pm Free Time/ Homework Time
5:00pm-7:25pm Stat Class and Discussion (on the Vern)
8:15pm Dinner
9:00pm Homework/ TV Time
11:20pm (hopefully) Bed

Wednesday:
5:50am Wake Up
6:10am Breakfast
7:00am-9:20am Practice
9:30am-10:00am Physical Therapy for my shoulder
10:15am Shower
10:45am Lunch
11:00am Free Time
1:00pm-3:00pm Physical geography Lab (on Vern)
3:30pm Free Time
4:45pm-6:00pm Physical Geography Class
7:00pm-8:00pm Weights and Conditioning (for volleyball)
8:20pm Dinner
8:50pm Shower
9:20pm Homework/ TV Time
11:15pm (hopefully) Bed

And that, readers, is what it is like to be me two days out of the week. It is fairly hectic, but I am used to it. I find that having a lot of my time accounted for (with volleyball related activities and classes) greatly helps me with my time management skills. As clichéd as that sounds, it really is true. Any extracurricular activity will help with that too, not just athletics. While it may seem as though I have very little free time in college, I actually feel that I have more than I did in high school, with fewer classes each day and more time in between them.
