I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with the summer season. There are some things about this time of year that I enjoy looking forward to, and then there are a few things that make me say “Summers suck”. Well, we’re leaving those ‘things’ to be a part of the story for another day, today’s post is all about my daily routine this summer. So welcome to a day in my life…

7:30 AM

My day begins at 7:30 am, usually in a bad mood. Yeah, it’s kind of a fact that I feel sick all the time in summers. You can’t go outside because Mr. Sun is on fire and staying indoors all the time gives me a headache. In fact,, it even gave me a bad fever last week. So yeah, at 7:30, I’m up.

8 AM

After getting fresh and doing my morning routine, I get ready and have breakfast. Waking up I’m literally like “ah I’m hungry”, which is like a dream come true for my mom because I always skip breakfast when I go to college but can now do so calmly thanks to summer holidays. Next thing to do is to read newspaper.

9 AM

After that, I assist my parents with house chores, which is usually done around 9:30 am, I like it during this hour because I’m totally vibing to my playlists while doing chores and I have the finest summer playlists ever, but then… You know summer gives every younger sibling in the house this incredibly annoying part-time job that we never asked for. Any guesses? “Time to fill water bottles and make place for them in the fridge. How exciting!” Duhh… it’s so boring.

10 AM

Now I’m in my bed checking messages and notifications and scrolling through Instagram. I’m not the one who spends hours scrolling through reels but Insta is the only place where I can stay in touch with my old friends so yeah. I don’t spend much time on phone these days honestly, it gives me a headache but I can’t miss any updates on Taeyong’s upcoming album you know. I’m super excited every time my favorite artists release new music but this time my energy is on another level, I just look up to him so much. I could talk about this for hours but oh, right, where was I… filling water bottles I suppose? No, that’s done; now moving on to the next…

10: 30 AM

Time to do some blogging. I don’t usually write during this hour, recently I’m working on the design of my blog (no, you can’t see it yet) and also reading a lot of blog posts because I’ve kind of forgotten how it feels to blog since it’s been a while. I’m also very much active on Quora these days, you know recommending songs to strangers, that’s my new hobby.

2 PM

No I didn’t just take a leap through time, the thing is that there isn’t a certain thing I have to do between 11 to 2 pm. With the summertime weather, everything feels even more monotonous. I watch TV and get bored, read a book and get bored, use my phone – boring, play with my cousin’s daughter, well she’s cute and funny but after playing with her I get exhausted so, taking a nap is the only option left (even though daytime naps make me sick).

2: 30 PM

After chilling out for like half an hour, it’s time to study. We have our internal exams right after summer vacations are over and then it will be followed by semester exams so I don’t really have much time to prepare. And since I topped in previous semester (flexing, dude) I’ve got to do well this time too. There was a time when I liked being competitive you know in school, but it feels just frustrating now, always trying to be perfect at whatever you do for the sake of proving yourself in front of others. Although I don’t like it, I can’t even stop myself from doing the same thing. Oh, this student life…

4: 30 PM

After studying now it’s time to do some teaching. I’m working part time at my big sis’s tuition center lol. 10 new students joined the classes this May, so I’m taking care of the students who are in middle school. It’s been a nice experience but sometimes it makes me realize why I’ve never liked being with kids lol.

6 PM

Literally my favorite time of the day. After having my evening snacks, I go for a drive near the lake which is at a distance of 7 minutes from my home on scooty. It’s fun to hang out with my siblings and we take a lot of pictures too.

7:30 PM

Finally night has come and I want some solitude. I usually head to my balcony or rooftop at this hour and do some breathing exercise and meditation. Summer night breezes are my favorite since they have such a dreamy feel. I pen down some thoughts and tune into my recent favorite songs. I just enjoy the moment while fantasizing, stargazing and singing my heart out. I know it’s not productive and, to some, a waste of time, but for me, moments like this are a must.

8:30 PM

Another study hour. I’ve found this YouTube channel called Gate Smashers and their lectures are brilliant. I’m almost done with my Operating System and C Language syllabus thanks to sir, and next I’m gonna take down Psychology. We have this course named Disaster Management and it is super interesting. So after studying it’s time for dinner.

9:30 PM

Another favorite hour of the day. My siblings and I eat dinner together while watching anime. We’re currently watching Demon Slayer season 3 and it’s getting more intriguing with each episode. I found the first season quite dull but the next seasons were BOOM. This anime wins in the category of animation, I must say. I recommend it to everyone.

11:30 PM

After watching a few episodes of anime, the kpop enthusiast inside me awakens and I start to watch performances, some NCT and BTS content like compilations or variety and stuff, then finally go to bed around 12.

Yeah so that’s all about my typical summer routine. Of course it’s not the same every day but it’s similar. The best thing about summer is literally mangoes, and yeah summer vacations also but I miss my friends too much. And I’m sure that after summer is done, I’ll be wishing for it to come back again as soon as possible, but for now, I’m eager to go to college.
