Timeline of Aubrey studying:

9:15 AM: alarm goes off. Haha that’s funny. Snooze

9:20 AM: snooze.

9:25 AM: reset alarm.

10:30 AM: Okay, for real, I’m getting up…. Now.

10:45 AM: Well I can’t be expected to study if I don’t look PRESENTABLE. Let me just put on a little eyeliner…

11:15 AM: Okay, I tried on every eye shadow in my possession. Time to go to the library.

11:20 AM: But while I pack my backpack, I’m going to put on an episode of Sex and the City.

12:30 PM: Okay, that was more than an episode. But now it’s lunch time! I’ll just study while I eat.

12:35 PM: OH MY GOD, PAULINE!!! I HAVEN’T SEEN YOU SINCE LAST NIGHT.

12:50 PM: Taylor, hi!! Come sit with us!!

1:00 PM: Adrienne. ADRIENNE. OVER HERE.

1:40 PM: Okay, so I didn’t study at lunch. But I have SO. MUCH. TIME. Oh, an email. I should really clean up my inbox.

1:55 PM: Oooo, new Buzzfeed quiz! Which scene from Taylor Swift’s music video are you?

2:00 PM: Screaming Fight scene from the “Blank Space” music video?! That’s not even like me!!!

2:01 PM: Okay that’s exactly like me.

2:02 PM: AUBREY, FOCUS.

2:05 PM: Oh my god, a Forever 21 sale.

2:30 PM: Let me just put in my credit card info… Okay, 5 new dresses on their way!!

2:35 PM: Oh, Sierra is calling!! Sisi, what’s wrong? Honey, slow down, I can’t understand you. Here. Let’s Skype.

 3:20 PM: Hate that ex-boyfriend of hers. Ugh.

3:25 PM: No, Sisi, I really need to go. I need to study!! No I haven’t started. It’ll be fineeee!

3:30 PM: Okay let me find the perfect song to study to…. PERFECT.

3:35 PM: Oh my god, I should exercise! Endorphins, productivity… Yeah, that’s a thing. Okay, quick run.

4:00 PM: THE SUN IS SETTING. OH MY GOD. I NEED TO STUDY.

4:05 PM: Okay, finally in Lamont. Time to study. After I check Facebook.

4:15 PM: And Instagram.

4:25 PM: And Twitter.

4:40 PM: Now Pinterest.

5:00 PM: Oh, dinner time!! Let me get back to the dining hall. I’ll look over my notes there.

5:10 PM: Oh my god, Ellie, how long has it been!!?? At LEAST 20 hours.

5:20 PM: Rachel is here, too!?!

5:30 PM: SARA COME SIT WITH US RIGHT NOW.

6:45 PM: So…. I didn’t study. But there are still, like 5 hours left in the day. I’m totally fine.

7:00 PM: Okay for real. I’m going to study… After a quick power nap.

8:30 PM: Yesss feeling refreshed!!! So ready to start studying. *opens notebook*

8:45 PM: I’m bored. Like, really really bored. I don’t want to do this. I can’t do this. I want to be home. Oh my god, I can’t handle this anymore.

8:48 PM: Mom? I wanna come home. I know. Yes, I have a final in two days. No, I haven’t studied. Yes, Insomnia cookies would help. Thank you. Love you too.

8:50 PM: Well I should probably wait to start studying until the cookies get here, because I don’t wanna get on a roll and then be interrupted. I’ll just watch Sex and the City til the delivery guy gets here.

10:00 PM: Yay, 24 cookies! I should share these.

10:10 PM: Entryway!! I have 12 cookies to share!

10:15 PM: I really can’t talk, I need to—wait, she said WHAT?! And he did WHAT?!

11:00 PM: Wow. What an exhausting day. I should just get to sleep early. But I’ll watch one more episode to get myself to sleep.

1:00 AM: Seriously… Tomorrow. I’m going to study tomorrow. Let me set my alarm for 9:30 AM…
