DAY IN THE LIFE OF A COLLEGE GRADUATE

I love to see people’s routine of the day. Not that I am nosy, but it's just really fun to see how people take certain things as a priority and lead their lives. As for me, I like to be on a specific schedule, that way I can get things done for the day. It makes me feel like I am being productive. I recently just graduated with a bachelor of commerce. Right now my main priority is to get a job. I am planning on working for a year and continuing with my further studies. It's been 3 months since I actually graduated. I mean I love being busy and keeping certain goals to do and taking on extra courses. Honestly, this is the first time I am sitting idly for practically 3 months. You might be thinking why haven't you joined a job yet, well, I haven’t found a good job yet genuinely speaking. This time around I feels anxious, happy, excited, annoyed, angry, etc. I am dealing with all these emotions for the past 3 months. Don’t get me wrong I love having time for myself. But at certain times I can't focus or I just feel like I am not doing enough.

This is how my day goes, I get up at 8:30 or 9 am since I don’t have any classes to attend. I brush my teeth and cleanse my face and all that. I always take warm ginger-lemon water in before breakfast, to remove the toxin in my body. I started this 2 years ago and I used to do this for my health and absolutely hated it but now I actually really like the feeling of cleansing and pouring the whole mug of warm water down my throat.

Then after an half hour, I wait and get my breakfast. I usually eat the same, 2 slices of bread, tea, and some fruit. Sometimes I make oat pancakes or make a toast and eggs. Depends on how I am feeling. After finishing my breakfast, I usually read a book or sit on my phone for while to get extra motivation or watch people's vlogs. It gets my day going. I am currently reading psychology of money by Morgan Housel. I love the whole idea of investing and getting rich, makes me excited, I mean who wouldn’t get excited over making money? But I always had this passion for investing or building a good career.

I recently read atomic habits by James clear too, that helped me a lot. I mean I always have criticized the things that I do and how I am not doing enough. But the thing is, every change that we make isn’t always visible, for example reading books, I started reading when I was in sixth grade. I fell in love. I mean look at how far I have come, I read daily, and I have improved my speaking and my grammatical skills. This is just an example of how a habit can stick with you and improve you in ways that you don’t see every day and eventually you know that it is worth sticking with.

Anyways, after I read for an hour or been on my phone for a while. I sit and apply for good jobs out there from 11 am to 12 pm. I have received many offers, it's just most of them were night shift and I am not okay with that. I did get an offer but I still haven’t heard from them, after doing 3 interviews. So I have to apply to keep my options open. I have always loved to write, not like blogs or anything but articles of some sort. Recently I have gotten into writing blogs and articles to improve my writing skills and to just write because I love to write, I love to pour my emotions out while I am writing or journaling.

So I have started making time, at least an hour to write an article since I have time now. I even made a list to write articles about. It doesn’t matter if I like the topic or not. I have made a goal to write about it and review it. Do some research about the topics and write about them. Plus, I get to learn information regarding it and also improve my writing skills. I heard from certain someone, that “everybody is a writer, its until you start writing, it doesn’t matter what you write, keep writing until you figure out your writing style. You will see the progress you have made.”

So from 12 pm to 1 pm, I write and that’s what I am doing right now. After that, from 1 pm to 1:45 pm I go on a walk. Do some stretches and go for a walk. Then I come back and eat my lunch, it's always something to do with rice or chapati. From 2 to 4 pm I chill and just be on my phone. or sometimes read a book. I love that time of the day. I don’t know I just feel calm and relaxed. It is my time of the day. From 4 to 5 pm I will be doing some errands, taking care of my skin, or taking a nap for 15 mins.

Exactly at 5, I pray my Asher prayer and go on to do my second workout. I love working out and I am planning on losing weight. So I do a Chloe ting workout in the evening to get that extra workout in. I finish my workout at 6:45 pm. I then, pray maghrib after I take a bath and relax with some warm water and almonds or some other nuts. I also drink some tea to calm my nerves down. Again I do some courses in the evening. Currently, I am doing stock market and finance, again I love investing and all that so I wanted a deeper knowledge of it. I also did take a content writing course as well. I do this all after 7:30 after I finish praying and chill for a bit.

From 7:30 to 9:30 or 10 pm I do some reading, I write and talk to friends, and also do some research.

Then I chill from 10 to 12 am and go to sleep, I am a night person so, I do sometimes sleep at 1 or 2 am. I always get this crazy energy at night and sometimes sit late but I always get up before 10 or at 11 if I stay up late.

Anyways this is my daily routine for now since I have no job currently. I’ll keep you guys updated once I get a job soon :) or… take on a course.
