In this video I take you through a realistic day in my life as a space science and engineering student at UCL. It’s a pretty busy one—there are deadlines looming—so I tried to show what my days actually look like when I’m balancing lectures, independent study, admin bits, and all the small transitions in between. If you’re curious about what studying space engineering is like day-to-day (not just the highlight reel), this is that. The main takeaway is that productivity, at uni, is less about doing heroic 12-hour grinds and more about having a simple system you can repeat: knowing what’s due, carving out focused blocks, and using the right tools to reduce friction. I also touch on how I structure my work when time is tight, and why I’m quite intentional about keeping things sustainable—because consistency beats intensity when you’re trying to perform well and still have a life. If you’re a student trying to feel more on top of deadlines, hopefully this gives you a few ideas you can steal and adapt.
