A Day In The Life Of A Student At University Of Pittsburgh

Look inside to the daily schedule of a typical student at the University of Pittsburgh if you want to see what a regular day for a current student is like.

Coming into college, I was extremely nervous that finding my “routine” would be difficult because classes are so spread out. Fortunately, I learned quickly that my schedule would fluctuate day to day and it’s actually pretty nice. Here is a typical Monday in the life of me, a freshman, Communication major at the University of Pittsburgh!

8:15 a.m.

Pretty early wake up I know. Thankfully, I am not one to sleep in much so I hardly ever sleep through my alarm. First thing I do is roll out of bed and head over to the bathroom down the hall to wash my face and brush my teeth. Then, I go back to my room and start getting ready. After that, I make my bed. College hack: if you make your bed every morning, there is less of a chance that you climb back in!

9:15 a.m.

By now, I am normally done ready getting, so I just hang out for a little bit. I am not a big breakfast eater so I mostly just have a granola bar and watch some Netflix until it is time to go to class.

9:40 a.m.

Time to head over to Communication Process! This is my first class of the day at the University of Pittsburgh.

11:00 a.m.

Out of class and now I go back to my room for a little while. Usually, I get some work done, catch up on reading assignments etc.

1:00 p.m.

Lunchtime! The cafe on the ground floor of the Cathedral at the University of Pittsburgh is always a go-to for me. They have amazing salads that I eat basically every day. Unless of course, the Chick-fil-A calls me over.

After lunch, I go back to the room and try to get as much work down as possible, so I don’t have to stay up all night long

4:00 p.m.

Last class of the day, Forensic Anthropology!

6:00 p.m.

Dinner time! My friends and I will almost always head over to the dining hall and grab some pasta or whatever the special is for the day.

7:30 p.m.

Grind time! The freshman 15 has nothing on me. I walk up to the Pete on upper campus of University of Pittsburgh and get a good workout in to burn all that pasta that I had for dinner!

10:00 p.m.

After the gym and showering, I normally just get ready for bed. If I have any homework that is due the next day that I have not done yet then I will work on that. Since it is a Monday, my roommate and I have no pressing shows to watch, so we normally just have “Friends” on as background noise.

12:00 a.m.

I try my best to be in bed by this time so I can get ready for my classes on Tuesday!

Mondays are one of my easier days because of the long break that I have in between classes. However, I always take advantage of that time to get work done for my other classes so that I have more free time toward the end of the week! 10/10 would recommend giving yourself a break in your schedule, so you don’t overwork yourself at the University of Pittsburgh.
