#4 A day as a College student


Before sharing my story, I want to start by sharing what I had encountered during my early days as a college student. Even though it was still summer, I was very excited of the thought of finally becoming a college student. I was excited of the new things to come, new friends, new environment, and a new school lifestyle. Since I’m already a college student, there are many adaptations to make. One of them is how to spend your free time. I was already trained in high school that I would have a class from 7:30 am – 5:30 pm but in college, there are many lapses in between classes. I didn’t know what to do in those times. But I just spent it by hanging out with my friends, doing anything that’s fun. We spent most of our free time at a internet café, playing dota(A strategic computer game). This made me more addicted to the game. If we wouldn’t play, we would just get bored and won’t feel energetic in coming to class. We also played some ball games to exercise our bodies and not to make us computer geeks. That’s how we spent most of our boring free times.

It was a Tuesday when I went to school, running, because I was almost late. When I reached the room, I was already sweating early in the morning but at least I reached the checking of attendance. Our teacher told us to get a ¼ sheet of paper. I was nervous of the thought that he was going to give us a short quiz about his past lesson. I didn’t have a clue of his lesson because I slept through it. I didn’t even know even one topic of the lesson. The test ended with bad results. I got 1/10 from the quiz and that was depressing. But I was very happy to hear that he wasn’t going to record it because that was just a test if we were really listening to him. At least now, I can be ready for surprises.

After that class, we were supposed to have an English class but we still can’t meet since there was no room for us to use. So now, we have a very long free time, from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm. I wanted to go home but I was dragged by my friends to an internet café to play dota. But actually, I really wanted to play. So when they told me to play, I agreed directly. So we played dota until 2:30 pm and after playing we ate our lunch. It was already 2:30 pm so I was very hungry. I ate lunch at a cheap eatery but I bought many foods to fill up my stomach. We waited until it was 4:15 before going back to school for our math class. After the class, we went back to the internet café to play dota again. It was fun playing the game because of the verbal fights between teams.

I ate dinner outside because I still wasn’t satisfied in the game. I wanted to play again after eating. This time I played the game so focused that I only have little mistakes. I was so happy to stay late outside the house just to play dota with my friends. I arrived home at almost 10:00 pm. I was scolded because of coming home late but I was still smiling after. I studied a little before going to sleep so that I would be ready for school tomorrow. Well, that’s how my day ended. And it goes on and on like this till the present time.
