A Day in My Life as a Second Year University Student

Welcome to another day in my life blog post! For those of you who don’t know, my name is Beth and I am a second year Law with Politics student at Bangor University. This is a day in my life from 20th April 2023, which is bang smack in the middle of deadline season and preparation for my exams.

I actually wrote a blog post sometime last year which was a day in my life during first year. I wrote that post as if I was writing about my day in my daily journal. I will be doing sort of the same this time but I won’t be including my feelings like I did previously. This is just going to be a straight up facts based day in my life. Without further ado, let’s get to it.

I started my day by waking up admittedly quite late. I was up at 11 because my lecture wasn’t until 4pm. The first thing I do is make my bed so that it is done and out of the way and also so I don’t get tempted into crawling back into bed.

I then went downstairs and made myself some breakfast. On this particular day, I had marmite on toast. I’m curious to know if you like marmite or not? Let me know in the comments! I also had to have a cup of tea which is what I have every single time I wake up. It’s my absolute favourite.

Once I finished my breakfast, I went into the bathroom and had a shower. I then got dressed, did my makeup and then sat down at my desk ready to do some tasks before I had to go to campus. I had quite a few tasks to getting on with, and I wanted to finish my revision materials so I could actually start revising. I had 3 exams to revise for which I’m hoping went well. Because I’m writing this well in advance, I don’t know. I haven’t even sat the exams yet!

I then had a quick snack before heading out to my to drive to campus. I live about 40 minutes away so I always like to make sure I leave at least an hour early. Like I mentioned before, my lecture wasn’t until 4pm so I left at 3pm. I parked up, met up with my friends and then headed into the lecture.

This lecture was a revision lecture, so it was a brief summary of the topics that were going to be on the exam. It was quite a laid-back lecture, which I liked.

I then headed home again after two hours, which meant it was a very short day. I had dinner when I got back, and then went upstairs to do some work. I then got ready for bed, read a chapter of a book, and that was my day!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this blog post about my day and I will see you soon for another blog post!
