A window into my week at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果

Recently, I learned that Lucy 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 Scribner, the founder of 新加坡六合彩开奖结果, kept a datebook where she would write about her activities and the people she met. It was really neat to read about the days in her life a century ago. This got me thinking: What would be in my datebook?

Here鈥檚 a week in my life at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果.

Monday

I wake up at 7:03 a.m. for work at my on-campus job at the Office of Communications and Marketing.

I swipe into the Murray-Aikins Dining Hall for a quick 鈥淢&A combo鈥 (muffin and apple). It鈥檚 my favorite breakfast to grab on the go, and since 新加坡六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 meal plan for first-year students is unlimited, I can get a quick bite without worrying about swipes. Today, they have a mocha muffin.

After work, I head back to 鈥淒-Hall鈥 to meet my friends for lunch. I鈥檝e made a lot of new friends at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果, most of whom I met through my Pre-Orientation camping trip called 鈥淪COOP.鈥 We hiked and did yoga in the Adirondack Mountains. It was great coming to campus and already having a group of friends before classes even started.

I grab some ramen from the noodle bar and work on an essay about ritual for my Ancient Chinese Philosophy class.

Later, I have my first-year Scribner Seminar, Sexing Politics. Even though the class technically starts at 3 p.m., everyone arrives super early to catch up. We have an older student who serves as a peer adviser. She made brownies for us today. It鈥檚 an especially good day.

Tuesday

I wake up at 8:30 a.m. and head to the pool. I鈥檓 not on a swim team, but I take a swimming class here for exercise.

There are a lot of fitness opportunities at 新加坡六合彩开奖结果, both inside and outside of class. With yoga, fitness dance classes and even a daily meditation, there鈥檚 always something to do to get moving on campus.

At lunch, we munch on tacos from the Global Cafe in D-Hall. Our friend from Texas gives them a stamp of approval.

Tuesdays are one of my busiest days of the week, and the biggest part is my Berlin Wall class where we discuss a reading assignment and the model wall we are building to display on campus. The professor is from Germany, and it鈥檚 great to hear her perspective on not only the Berlin Wall, but also other walls around the world.

That evening, I brainstorm Halloween costumes with my friends over some family-style spaghetti before my Scribner Seminar. It鈥檚 the fourth credit hour of the class, so it鈥檚 just us and our peer mentor. These are less formal than the main class and are designed as a kind of check-in to see how everyone is doing. It always feels like a little club.

After my seminar, I stop back at my dorm and grab some supplies that I need for a student government meeting. I鈥檓 a senator for Wait Hall (people represent different dorms among other things). I love it because we get to partner with College leaders on making 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 even better. We take 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 pretty seriously, and it鈥檚 great to know your voice can be heard.

Wednesday

It鈥檚 time to build a (mock) Berlin Wall! I get to use a fancy power drill. I鈥檝e never used tools like this before. Creative Thought Matters, right?

Later in the day I FaceTime with my family and call some friends from home. I do a facemask and go to bed early. It鈥檚 raining pretty hard outside, but my roommate from Los Angeles wants us to keep the window open because she likes the sound of the rain.

I was nervous at first about living with two other roommates, one from Manhattan and one from LA, but it鈥檚 worked out really well. We鈥檙e all pretty close, and recently we hung fairy lights on our walls. Everything feels dreamier with fairy lights.

Thursday

I get up early to do my laundry. I highly recommend this because it gives you an excuse to be up, and since you鈥檙e already awake, you might as well get some things done.

I get ready for swimming and work on that Chinese Philosophy paper I鈥檝e been tinkering with all week.

Melanie Nolan

That evening, I have dinner with friends and help one find an outfit for a date she鈥檚 going on. Before I head to the library, I make her promise to update me afterward. I work on my essay, call my friends and clean my room.

Friday

I head to work and drink my beloved chai latte from our campus spot for Starbucks, the Burgess Cafe. At work, I help hang posters for an upcoming series of lectures and film screenings highlighting religion and diversity. I battle the masking tape for a while. Posters are part of life here 鈥 they feel 鈥渟o college.鈥

I go to my Introduction to Nonfiction class and then hang out with one of my roommates. She鈥檚 an artist and I convince her to draw me, but with tentacles. We go to yoga in Wilson Chapel.

It鈥檚 a Friday, after all, so we decide to go out in Saratoga. There鈥檚 a club downtown that has an 18+ night, and it鈥檚 always fun to dance for a little while. We get dinner at Wasabi, an all-you-can-eat sushi place downtown and head out. I love Saratoga because of all the things to do. From events in Congress Park to endless shopping downtown, there鈥檚 never a dull moment. It鈥檚 a great outlet for getting off campus for a little treat.

Saturday

Sleeping in, laundry and a hike around North Woods with my friend.

Then, I walk downtown for coffee at Uncommon Grounds as a reward for getting my homework done. I do a quick Instagram photoshoot with friends because the lighting is nice.

We decide to stay in tonight and watch the new rom-com 鈥淭all Girl鈥 on Netflix. It鈥檚 cute, funny and full of clich茅s, which, in my opinion, is the best combination for a rom-com.

Sunday

I wake up and do some yoga with some friends before walking to the nearby Triangle Diner for brunch.

Melanie Nolan

Sundays are a big homework day, so campus is pretty sleepy, but the library is bustling. I meet up with a student from my seminar, and we watch political ads as research for a paper we鈥檙e writing.

I fully clean my room and check my email one last time before going to sleep. It feels good to submit all my papers and go to bed tired Sunday night, only to wake up energized Monday morning and do it all again!
