I stay off campus in a townhouse with 4 different Georgetown college students. At Georgetown, we're solely required to stay on campus for the primary three years. However our townhouse is only a block away from campus, so we aren't too far.
I’ve my very own room within the townhouse, and I wish to make my mattress every morning. It ensures I gained't crawl again into it — even after I actually need to sleep the day away. Plus, I'm huge on protecting a super-tidy area, so making my mattress is basically necessary to me.
I often use moisturizer, vitamin C, and sunscreen within the mornings earlier than heading out into the world. Excessive-quality skincare is considered one of my few monetary indulgences as a senior in faculty.
I beloved taking my time on this stroll as a result of the campus was so quiet earlier than 7 a.m. I beloved the best way the solar lit up Healy Corridor, which is on the US Nationwide Register of Historic Locations.
On the gymnasium, I did a leg exercise for an hour.
Once I first arrived on campus as a freshman, I used to be petrified of going to the on-campus gymnasium. I used to be so terrified of seeing my friends after I was understanding. Fortunately, after I returned to Georgetown after a yr of on-line college, I made a decision to not waste any extra time caring about what different individuals thought. Now Yates is a part of my routine.
In comparison with college students at different schools, Georgetown college students have a tendency to decorate casually — however not too casually — for day-to-day life on campus. Sporting leggings or sweatshirts to class isn’t the norm, so I attempt to pick outfits on weekdays which can be a balanced mixture of snug and presentable. You possibly can by no means go flawed with blue denims and a black tee.
I'm a kind of individuals who can't survive the day with no good breakfast, so I rotate between completely different breakfast recipes each week.
This week my smoothie included frozen mango, banana, yogurt, water, spinach, chia seeds, and agave in it. Since I stay off campus, I don't have entry to the eating corridor, however I don't thoughts cooking for myself.
I attempt to work in my lounge not less than as soon as a day as a result of it's an effective way for me to be productive whereas additionally nonetheless with the ability to chat with my roommates as they move out and in of the home.
When it's very nice out, I can typically be discovered studying on our entrance porch as an alternative.
The farmers market is a spotlight of my week and has been since freshman yr.
It's run by college students and considered one of my favourite issues about going to Georgetown. On good farmers-market days, the garden is at all times crowded with Georgetown college students consuming wonderful meals and having fun with the sunshine.
"Girls, Domesticity & American Tradition" is hands-down my favourite class I've ever taken at Georgetown.
I'm an American Research main, and I've specialised in finding out domesticity all through faculty; I simply completed writing my senior thesis about Martha Stewart, so this class is true up my alley.
On today, we had been discussing Nancy Meyers' "One thing's Gotta Give."
The comfortable lighting, tall bookshelves, and home windows that look out over Georgetown's entrance garden make this my all-time-favorite examine spot on campus.
I've been coming right here not less than just a few occasions every week since my freshman yr, and I discover that it's the spot on campus the place I really feel essentially the most cozy and productive.
Tonight's dinner was a turkey burger, salad, and a aspect of frozen sweet-potato french fries from Dealer Joe's.
I really like attempting out new recipes each week, and I discovered this one in a cookbook {that a} pal purchased me. If nobody else is milling about the home, I are inclined to scroll on TikTok or name my mother and father whereas I'm consuming dinner.
There are tons of occasions and events to dress up for towards the top of the semester at Georgetown.
Social life as a senior at Georgetown can imply something from chill sport nights to dressing as much as go to events and bars.
I'm not often one to exit on a weeknight, however because it's my previous couple of weeks of school, I made an exception.
I at all times like to wind down for a bit earlier than falling asleep, and the easiest way for me to do this is by watching my consolation present.
Right here's hoping my postgrad life is as enjoyable as this sitcom makes it out to be!
