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
