Maya's Typical Uni Day
Maya is in her second year living and studying at UWA.
Hailing from regional WA, Maya moved to Perth to pursue her studies, and shares a snapshot of a typical day living on campus at UniHall.
- Between 6.30am - 7am
-
Wake up. But wake up does not always mean get up!
- Brush my teeth, and do a bit of stretching,
- Go for a sunrise walk, if I’m feeling it,
- Make myself a morning coffee.
Pro tip: op-shops and Kmart have super cheap coffee plungers! And Woollies sells pretty affordable Fairtrade coffee grounds.
- 8am
- A couple of mornings a week I’ll do a workout with some other people from UniHall.
- 9am-ish
-
Have breakfast!- My go-to is porridge with protein powder and fruit.
Then I'll plan out my to-do list for the day, answer emails, etc.
- 10am
-
Attend to that day’s uni grind with classes, lectures, etc. Usually I’ll start properly working around 10am.
- 1pm
- Go have lunch at the Dining Hall.
- After Lunch
- After lunch I’ll do any more classes, or write up notes for study.
- Around 4pm
-
Around 4pm my brain turns to mush.
I’ll usually go for a walk, play guitar, go food shopping, or do some Residential Advisor work (messaging residents, planning events etc).
- 5pm
- This is usually the time when I phone my fam, or one of my old friends for a catch-up.
- 6pm or 6.30pm
- Have dinner!
- 7pm - 9pm
- I'll usually do some more study.
- After 9pm
-
Dive into bed, and read a few chapters of a book before I sleep.
