Second semester is here, which is honestly wild because I feel like I blinked and we’re back in the “new routine, who dis” era. In this vlog I’m taking you through my first day back at UT Austin as a film major—starting with a get ready with me so I can look at least semi-awake before I log onto my online class. It’s very much that first-day energy where you’re trying to romanticize your life while also accepting you’re… here again sadly. After class, I do the classic campus reset combo: studying outside for a bit (because if I’m going to be stressed, I might as well be stressed in the sun), heading to yet another class, and then forcing myself to go to the gym so I can pretend I have my life together. The day ends exactly how you’d expect—me crashing out, because first days back always take you out. If you’re going into a new semester and need a low-pressure, realistic day-in-the-life to ease you in, this is basically my blueprint.
