Ever wonder what a day in the life of a college student is like? How about a day in the life of a Missouri State student? Well, meet Rachel.
On Thursday, I wake up about 8:45 a.m. to get ready for my commute to campus. My bowling class starts at 10:00 in the Plaster Student Union so I have no problem getting there in time to stop by Kaldi’s for my favorite poppy seed muffin and mango smoothie! My class has about 25 people and its fun because one of my good friends is in the class with me. When that class ends I head upstairs to have lunch with friends.
My favorite places to eat are Blimpie’s and Grill 155. The student union is the perfect place to hang out during lunchtime because I get to see friends and relax before I go to work at my on-campus job.
I work about four hours a day which provides a good break from school work and enough to make money to live off of. When I get off work, I head to my University Ambassador meeting at 4:15. I really enjoy going to meetings every other Thursday to see the many friends I have made through the organization. After meeting, I walk over to my sorority house to eat dinner with the girls living there. I like to stay, hang out, and catch up with girls I haven’t seen, but I usually head home around 8:30 p.m. to get started on homework for the rest of week.
