Have you ever wondered what the typical day of a University of East London student is like? Well now you can find out! Keep reading for the ultimate play by play.
You start getting ready, most likely skipping breakfast and heading to your lecture and surprisingly still making in on time (if you’re one of the lucky ones and study on the Dockland campus).
The entire thing just consists of your lecturer reading off a PowerPoint and you sitting there trying not to fall asleep and you’re just daydreaming of going back to your flat and going to sleep because let’s face it you went to bed at 4am and you’re exhausted and no amount of Costa coffee can keep you up.
After you wake up and it’s now around 3pm and you’re thinking that you should go do something with your day.
Even though you’re a broke university student you still decide to treat yourself with very pricey food every single time like steak or smoked salmon.
You might go do some coursework, tidy your bedroom or just chill out and watch TV because let’s face it you had a very hard and tiring day.
If not, ten of you gather around that small kitchen table of yours which is only meant for six people, and some may order food, some may make food in your flat despite them not even living there, and you either drink or smoke.
A heated discussion will get started, probably something about politics or sports and while you might not have an interest in those topics, you try and keep up.
The slow and cold walk under bridge to get to the shop feels like forever, and you will end up buying a ridiculous amount of junk food and sour Haribo, and then you return to your flat and continue the sesh.
And so, another day is over. Wake up and repeat.
