A Day in the Life on the Hill

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Holy Cross chapter.

Although we all go about our days differently, there’s just some stuff you can’t avoid while living on The Hill!

●      Wake up for a class that always seems to come too early (probably because you were up until 2am studying, am I right?)

●      Try to convince yourself to head to Kimball for breakfast since your dining dollars are vanishing rapidly…

●      Head to Cool Beans instead

●      Walk to class holding your coffee and breakfast treat, the whole time thinking “I really should not have gone to Cool Beans,”

●      Sit in class daydreaming about the nap you’re going to take as soon as this class ends

●      Decide you really should get some homework done – c’mon responsible college student, be productive!

●      Take nap anyway

●      Wake up and head to next class while thinking three things: “I bet it’s not this windy everywhere else,”, “I’m already hungry again, I really need to get lunch at Kimball (or maybe the Science Café…)”, and “My calves kill…Feel the burn!”

●      Enter/exit Stein and notice that the crowd is oddly similar to the stampede in “The Lion King”

●      Endure lunch at Kimball – you can’t go wrong with a deli sandwich, after all

●      You’ve been done eating for fifteen minutes now, but somehow have managed to spend that extra time people watching

●      Maybe you’re not done eating…those brownies are calling your name…Self-control be damned, you eat that brownie!

●      Head to Dinand, the Science Library, or Rehm and start the excessively long process known as homework

●      Ahh, don’t we all love how RELIABLE Holy Cross wifi is?

●      Give up on homework, convincing yourself you WILL do it later

●      Check Netflix just to ya know, watch one or two episodes…Four hours later, re-emerge into the civilized world

●      Get a slice of pizza at CRoads or The Pub

●      Finally return to your dorm room and actually do your homework until 2am

●      Repeat
