Continuing our warm welcome of the newly EDmitted Class of 2018, Bwog is presenting a rundown of our typical day because we’re Real People that have Real Lives (at least, that’s what we tell ourselves after the fifth day straight in Butler). A sophomore staffer who wished to remain anonymous (Real People can be anonymous, too) gives you his average Friday.
12:00 am: Debate whether or not to leave pregame and go to Mels/1020/insert name of college hangout here. Of course I’ll go out, I’m Captain Adventure. Let’s do it.
12:05 am: Realize it is as cold as the last circle of Hell and decide to stay indoors. Going out is for n00bs anyways.
12:06 am: Kick people out of my tiny cozy double because it’s late, I’m grouchy, and I would rather sleep then have to throw up. Which will happen.
9:00 am: Wake up, thoroughly refreshed but still regretting drinking anything the night before.
9:30 am: Fall asleep in the shower for the third time this week. I should probably be grossed out, then again, this is some of the best sleep I’ve gotten this week.
10:00 am: I head to Nussbaum to grab a bagel and orange juice before work.
10:10 am: Passive aggressively speak to Nussbaum worker because they didn’t make my order again. THEY ALWAYS FORGET. How hard is a bacon, egg, and cheese?
10:15 am: Start walking to work.
10:20 am: Start jogging to work.
10:25 am: All-out sprint to work.
10:29 am: Get to work one minute early, and proceed to spend five minutes in the bathroom before heading in anyways. What was I thinking getting here early? This is New York, not high-school.
11:00 am: Greet coworker whose name I forgot. Shit. He knows I don’t know his name.
12:00 pm: Master the art of sleeping with my eyes open. Also, watch YouTube videos to kill time. You might have work you should be doing, but who wants to ask?
1:00 pm: Have meeting that I’m clearly unprepared for. Vow to efficiently work for the rest of day.
1:30 pm: Watch YouTube videos of Titanboa THE LARGEST SNAKE TO EVER LIVE.
4:00 pm: Leave work/playtime and head to Morton Williams for dinner because I am an Adult. Buy a premade pork-fried rice dinner and ask for a plastic fork because I hate doing dishes.
4:40 pm: Eat sa(i)d dinner, and regret your choice to eat at Morton Williams. Thank God/Columbia Housing that there is so much toilet paper in your bathroom. Apologize to suitemates.
6:00 pm: The “I’m wasting time and should be doing homework” guilt creeps in. Make the trek to Butler, cursing anyone who is able to do homework in their dorm room.
6:10 pm: Stop at the Butler Café, because those AWAKE bars are amazing. The caffeine of a coffee in a chocolate bar? Perfect. Go to 210 (it’s warm, don’t judge) and set up shop.
6:15 pm: Continue to shuffle around papers, making your setup perfect before beginning to do work.
9:00 pm: Oh damn, I actually got some work done. I just finished my Calculus homework. But it took 3 hours? What? How long have I been here? Should I take a break? Do I leave? I’m confused.
9:40 pm: I took a five-minute break, which ended up lasting for 40 minutes. Go home. Go home.
10:00 pm: Return to my dorm room. Read through multiple text messages asking me to go out. Realize that I haven’t watched the latest episode of American Horror Story: Coven, so make some excuses and cuddle up with Netflix under my sheets. Jessica Lange won’t keep me up until three in the morning playing beer pong.
