~ Week In The Life Of A Full Time Korean University Student ~
So I've gotten a lot of ASKS asking me to let you guys know what it's like to be a full time student at 이화, so here it finally is~ I waited a while into the semester to get a grasp of my daily routine and solidify my classes.
Monday:
So I genuinely start of my Monday crying into my pillow and questioning why the fuck the dean thought it was a great idea back in the day to create mandatory chapel.
After a mini breakdown, I get up, shower, do my skincare, put my lens in if I feel like it, do some make-up and pick out an outfit, which usually makes me late and I'm rushing to pack my bag, put on my shoes and get out the door ( luckily this semester I live right next to the door and bus stop)
My first class of the day is chapel, which begins at 10 and ends at 10:30am. So this causes me to usually rush down the hill to get there on time cause I always spend too much time in bed or in the shower. After this, I have Cinema Arts & English ( yay, my favourite class). I seriously love this class, I've always loved drama, film and English and this class is a perfect combination of all and it just makes me happy after dreadful chapel.
I then get a nice wee break between class of an hour & forty mins, which I usually spend in ECC catching up of assignments, eating lunch in the cafeteria or getting a coffee from Starbucks and doing some of my online class.
Afterwards, I head to IEDU for my dreaded Korean Politics class, which I seriously have regrets taking, but it was one of the ones offered for my major and it was said to be an easy pass which I think it will be. It just bores me to death.
Finally, I finish the day with my Special Topics In English class- which is basically just a basic core class I took after being bored with another one. You could say it's a music history class and it's neither an interest or dislike of mine, so I bare with it and the work.
At the end of the day, I wait around at ECC until it's time for club activities. This semester I got accepted into EDIS, which is the debating society of my department and so far it's been... interesting, challenging and filled with 삼겹살 and 소주. This usually ends at 8:30pm and I head home, ready to start some readings and assignments. I finish this and head to bed around midnight most nights of the week.
Tuesday:
Tuesday~ Yay~ one of my favourite days of the week.
Why you ask? Because you're girl only has one class that day~ My
Major core class; Intro To Korea
On Tuesday, I'm forced to wake up at the crack of dawn for a 9am class but it's totally worth it. I wash my face, put on some perfume, throw a jumper and jeans on and drag myself to class. I focus for about an hour and then I head back home, and nap until around one or two. I make myself some lunch or usually ramen and 밥 cause I'm hella broke and then I watch some Netflix or YouTube. At around five, I study Korean until eight and then do my assignments.
Occasionally on Tuesday, I go out and tutor or get lunch or go shopping with friends, it's basically my free day and I love it~
Wednesday:
Ew, Wednesday, that day of the week where you're half way through but still have a few more days of hell until the weekend.
I start my Wednesday off with a big cup of coffee and usually finishing my reading for my other major class I despise; World History.
I head for Politics around 11:30, followed straight after with Special Topics and finishing with World History, where I sit and strain to hear anything the professor says as he mumbles away and we go over the same work we did weeks previous for like the tenth time.
At 5pm, I head home or get dinner off campus with friends if I'm feeling like it or I have enough money. Once I'm back, I head straight for the gym and work out for around an hour and a half, or dance for two hours. Wednesday night is my chill evening usually and I hardly do anything after the gym, except maybe plan or film a video for my channel, or write a post, like I am now.
Thursday:
AHHHH KILL ME PLEASE. No seriously can I die? My dumbass never went to chapel last semester so I had to take two this semester if I wanted to graduate on time, fun right? Take a note from the idiot, never do this fam.
So I once again drag myself out of bed for chapel and regret life as I run to the chapel praying I don't get there too late. This is followed by MY FAV CINEMA ARTS, and then I head home. But it's not over there, fuck no. I took an online class, and all classes, assignment and quizzes are due Thursdays, so I sit all of Thursday afternoon and most of the evening doing that, wondering why I thought Psychology In Education would be fun. I guess I just need the credits.
I then once again have club, so I head out for that and come home to even more work, RIP.
Friday:
FRIDAY~ 불금!
The best day of the workdays, the horrible weekdays are almost over!
I wake up about nine, shower, and go straight to Intro to Korea at 11. After this, I trek to World History, preparing my ears for the sad sessions of straining to hear once again that week.
After that, I head back to the dorms about two, and I more than likely get ready to go get dinner, or get coffee or go clubbing in Sinchon or Hongdae with friends. Or maybe something unique like a birthday dinner or a cat cafe~
I usually make it back for curfew... usually... ( lies ).
Saturday:
Ya girl is more than likely sleeping in on a sat. Waking up early all week and going out the night before is a lot for my body so I like to sleep a lot. I wake up at around midday or one on sat's and go to the gym, paint or watch some shows. If someone wants to go out, I usually go if I'm not tutoring someone for extra money.
A lot of the time, I go clubbing on sat with close friends, but recently I've been staying home. Loads of reasons, but money is the main cause of my house arrest.
Sunday:
Sunday is gods day right. lol I ain't even religious but growing up in a catholic household, I'm chill with the idea of a day of rest so I lay back all of Sunday, doing assignments in the morning, studying some Korean if I feel like it, but I don't usually leave the dorms as there's no bus, unless it's absolutely necessary. Last week I went for ramen and 빙수 with my 언니 because she works Saturdays and she lives off campus now.
On Sundays I usually relax and sometimes I order chicken or subway if I have the money ( which I usually fucking don't lol guys I can't express how damn broke I am, SOS)
