yale student's (realistic) exam routine | busy day, late night cram, study tips

Good morning! It is Tuesday and it is currently 9.51am. I am getting ready for the day right now because I have an exam tomorrow and I'm in dire need of walking in today. And so I thought to myself, why not film a little day in my life where I show you guys what it's like to be prepping for an exam. Tonight's going to be a really long night. I don't know what today will hold but it's going to be dark. It's going to be scary. I don't know why guys but yesterday I was feeling so sick so I really didn't get a lot of studying done. As you can see I'm still a little bit sick but it's fine. But yeah I have an exam for my biological anthropology class on Wednesday which is tomorrow. So let's stop calling it Wednesday, let's call it tomorrow. I have class at 11.35 today and then I have it straight from 11.35 all the way to 3.30. I'm going to go get some like breakfast brunchy vibes before class and also get my readings done because I still need to do those for my two classes today. But I also want to watch a little bit of the lecture that I'm trying to catch up on for the class that I have my exam on on Wednesday. Update, I'm rushing to finish my makeup because I'm going to meet Evie for a quick coffee because I have social anxiety and I don't want to go anywhere by myself. So guys I'm lowkey breaking out just a little bit in like the weirdest place. I don't even know how it happened but it's like down here. It feels like maybe an allergic reaction. Okay done with makeup. Let's go forth. I'm going to find like a very simple comfy outfit to wear because I'm going to be studying the entire day today. Okay everyone I have a vision. I want to style this little jacket that I thrifted the other day at 2nd street. That's like blue and white and a track jacket and it says Florence on it. And I'm going to wear it with this little classic brandy tank top. Oh my god it's so cute. I feel like a runner girl or like a preppy college cheerleader. And then I have my little Betty Boop jeans that I thrifted and also like I'm wearing matching underwear with my tank top. Do you guys see that? It's a matching set. Let's run. Let's go get coffee. Okay guys we're in the Elm and I'm going to grab a coffee. Hello my friends. It is currently like so windy that I'm fighting demons. I was going to cross the street and jaywalk but now the lights are green so maybe I don't do that. Guys I don't know where I'm going. I'm lost. I'm going to my second class for the day which is young adult writing. Basically what's happening and why I can't find it is because we're meeting at the Peabody Museum which is not where we usually meet which will be fun but I'm just really lost. I don't know where the Peabody Museum is. Hopefully it's near here because I'm getting really tired. I've been walking for a minute and I'm just lost. Hi friends. It is currently like 7.30 and I just finished meeting number one with my club and had dinner. I'm heading to rehearsal number two of the night and then after this I'll be done and I'll actually be able to walk in for this midterm. I have so much work. Wish I just could hole up and do my work but it's not the truth of the matter. Okay guys I'm going to go to rehearsal now but I'll see you after. Bye. I agree with that. Not so. Can you define? I agree with that. Not so. Can you define? Go in the back. Go in the dog's corner. Hey guys. It's 10.04pm and I have to walk in for this stupid midterm. I got a diet coke though so all is fine. Okay it's walk in time. I'm going to go to bed at like 2am, 2.30am. Sarah's not on the same wavelength as me. I was more thinking a crisp 12.30am. Right? Okay. I'm going to see myself in the Sullivan Library in two hours then. Rory? Yeah? What is mise of ratios? Mise? Yeah what's mise? What the **** is a mise? Mix. Oh. Bro! Hi there. It's Millie and I want to take a quick break from the video to give you an exciting update. I have found my new favorite way to stay engaged and productive while studying and that is by using Opera. It is a browser designed to make your online experience super smooth and honestly it's been life changing for my study sessions. I love using Opera's player to play my music while working. It's super easy to access from the sidebar and it opens up to a detached module that you can move anywhere inside or outside of the browser. So no more switching between tabs just to control your music. And the best part is Opera and Spotify have partnered to bring you three free months of Spotify Premium. That means your favorite music without interruptions anywhere you are, even offline. You can create playlists to match your vibe and listen to your tunes in whatever order you want. Literally perfect. To claim your trial, all you have to do is download Opera and find the offer available in the Opera player sidebar. This offer varies by country. Same as with your music, Opera lets you watch videos without interrupting your browsing. Through their video pop out function you can detach and control the videos you're watching by making them pop out as a floating module and watch them on top of the other windows while browsing at the same time. To further curate your browser vibe, you can use Opera's themes to customize the entire theme of your browser, including animated backgrounds, UI colors, browser sounds, and more. My personal favorite is Midsommar. If you want the vibiest, most productive study session, I highly recommend giving Opera a try. You can do that now by downloading Opera via the link in my description. Let me know if you try it out. Now let's get back to the video! Alright everyone, progress update. It is currently 12.42 and I am almost done with my first round of review. I'm gonna keep chugging along. You may notice that I'm in a different place. It's because I'm in the common room and I'm alone here. Everybody else is asleep. That's because it's 12.42 so it's almost 1. I'm gonna lock in for like one more hour and then go to bed as well because I'm tired. Yeah. Hey guys. It's um, it's 1.45 and I'm calling it. I'm gonna go brush my teeth. It's so tired. Ah! Okay everyone, we're so clean. Let's go back and go to bed. Did that work? I don't know. Good morning. It's 8.21am. We gotta lock in, boys and girls. I was laying in bed for a little bit. Just trying to force myself out of bed but it's time to go. My brain is like hurting. I don't want to think about hominins right now. That might be the end of it for me. But low-key, yesterday was really productive so I'm like grateful. I just need to like figure out if I actually know what I'm, what I studied or if I'm just fake knowing what I'm studying. Alright, let's go. With the stars in the sky, I am no longer trying to survive. That's so bad. That's so awful. Oh my god. I'm not even gonna do my makeup today, guys. It's that dire. I don't know what I'm gonna wear. I'm gonna wear my um, my, one of my lucky exam shirts cause it has a message on it. It says I'm just a, I'm literally just a girl. Alright, this is my battle outfit. My Adidas track pants and I'm literally just a girl shirt. I'm gonna pack my bag and then we're gonna go to the dining hall and do some work. It's low-key kind of chilly. I feel like I should have worn a thicker jacket. This girl is dressed to go to a conference. She's fitted up on a casual, on a casual Tuesday. I went to just pull out the camera. Guys, these are the final moments. We're locked. Let's do it. Alright everyone, we're leaving. It's time to go. Okay guys, we're entering the battlefield. It's go time. Three homo sapiens ready to bipedal this shit. Yes. That's how we beat the Neanderthals. Hey baddies. Guess what? We're done. Yay! We barely survived but we made it. We made it. Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens down. Um, it was really hard guys. The tea is... I don't know if we really made it but at least it's done, you know? We all made it together. Yeah, thank God. Um, Sarah's gonna take a nap. I'm gonna go on a walk. But anyway, um, I love her. Um, we're gonna go now and um, that was fun. I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog and I'll see you guys next time. Love you, bye.
