My College Morning Routine

I am without a doubt a creature of routine. I strive off of routines and I love how much easier they make things. One weird thing about college is that each and every day looks different. Even though some things happen every day (I have class at this time), the in-between is always different.

Even though my mornings look different every day, I tend to stick to a routine even if they don't happen at the same time every day!

Wake up

This depends on the day but I tend to wake up at 7 for my 8 AM classes or at 8:30 when I have later classes. I try to get out of bed as soon as my alarm goes off but sometimes I just wait for my second alarm and stay in bed for a few more minutes haha!

Brush teeth & wash face

Right when I get out of bed, I'll get out of bed and then head down the hall so I can brush my teeth and then wash my face. Once I get back into my room, I'll put moisturizer on too.

Make bed

I would say that making my bed is one of the most important aspects of my day. I try to never leave my room without having my bed made and I feel like this simple task makes my entire room look organized. And hey, it gives you something to cross off the to-do list haha!

Do my Hair

I usually don't wear makeup around campus (except for when I have a presentation) but I usually like to do my hair so I don't seem like a total mess haha! 

Eat breakfast

I'm pretty simple when it comes to breakfast and have honestly been to the dining hall once this year- the first day of class! I typically have a yogurt that I keep on hand in my fridge and then a turkey sausage as well!

Catch up on my emails + do last minute homework

While I eat my breakfast, I typically go through any emails and respond to them if needed. I typically update my agenda and do some last minute tasks whether it's homework or work for the blog!

Get dressed + get my backpack ready

After I'll eat, I get dressed for the day (usually leggings and a t-shirt if I'm being honest) and also get everything I need for the day together to put into my backpack. I have my system planned out so I just have a binder for each class so I can throw the binder into my bag and go!

Take Emergen-C

It seems like the flu has hit Clemson with a vengeance so I have been taking Emergen-C each morning to hopefully avoid that! Some people say that it's a placebo but I'll take it haha!

Head out the door

Then I grab my backpack and head out the door to go to class!
