Day in the Life: Summer

I've never done a post like this before, but I thought it would be fun to show you what I do during the day! This is my typical non-second job day!


6:15 Wake up & Work Out
I've been getting up this early to do some yoga and my Nike Training Club challenge. It's a struggle, but it makes the rest of my day better

6:45 Shower, hair & make-up
It takes about 30-35 minutes for the entire process. I put moisturizer on, blow dry my hair, apply my make-up then straighten my hair. It's definitely down to a science at this point.

7:20 Get Dressed, eat breakfast & prep
Since I'm interning this summer, my wardrobe is pretty simple. I have my go to outfits so getting dressed is easy! I then start my two eggs for breakfast that I eat at home. Once those start cooking, I prep my second breakfast: homemade granola, greek yogurt and peaches! I sit down to eat and normally read the Skimm!

7:45 Leave for Work 
I have to be to work by 8:00, but always try to be at least 5 minutes early. Work is 5 minutes away, but between getting out the door and the stoplights I have to go through, I really need the 15 minutes!

8:00 Check email & review to-do list
Unless I come into the office with a huge project or meeting right away, I sit down to check my email and the to-do list I made before I left for the day.


8:15 Start tasks
One of the reasons I love public relations is because it's different everyday. There are tasks that I have to complete routinely, but not everyday is the same! My day can be full of meetings or just working by myself.


10:00 Second breakfast
I eat my greek yogurt, granola and peaches while taking a little social media break. It's the perfect combo of protein and sweetness! After I'm done eating I get back to work for the last couple of hours

1:00 Leave work & go home
I don't have a full time internship, so I'm actually working at Old Navy and at the school library. I end at one so that I can go to the other jobs!


1:15 Eat lunch & catch up on emails
Honestly, lunch is normally leftovers and I'm not really paying attention since I'm working on blog, work and sorority stuff.

2:30 Workout  
This can mean a lot of things. Depending on the day or if I worked out in the morning I'll go for a run, weight lift then do some yoga. I love summer because it means I can fit in longer workouts!


4:00 Reading, blogging or Lynda.com classes!
It really depends on what I have to get done, but these three things tend to take up the rest of my afternoon. I normally have to go run errands or something else but sometimes I get to relax!

6:00 Dinner & Roomie
I normally start thinking about dinner, and hang out with my roommate. It's rare that we're home on the same night together, so this is nice!


7:00 Netflix, work & chores
After dinner I'll do the dishes, finish something up or just watch netflix!

9:00 Get read for bed & call MB 
I call MB around 9 my time or 10 his. I'll get ready for bed, make my lunch, and tidy up my room while on the phone. We don't talk every night, but about 5/7 nights a week!


10:00 Bedtime
I double check my alarm, then shut off my light and fall asleep! If I can't right away, I read some notes from my family and MB in my night stand or Promises for a Jesus Freak. They normally help me sleep better!


Do you have a normal day?

  1. Wow! I definitely wish I could wake up that early. My alarm clock is set for 9:00, but I usually don't wake up.

  4. I love these types of posts and have been contemplating doing one myself, but mine would be so boring! I don't read The Skimm but everyone talks about it so much that maybe I should start reading it!

  6. I love these "Day in the Life" posts! It's so fun seeing what other people do day to day. I'm so impressed that you work out twice!

  7. I wish I could stay on track. Every time I say I'm going to do something at a certain time I procrastinate so much. I admire how you wake up and work out and get your day started. I take a spin class three times a week and afterwards I go home and crash. smh!

  8. I should probably make one of these someday.
    I enjoy reading these types of posts so maybe my readers will as well.
    I definitely love my to-do list and keeping on schedule though.

  9. If I make one of these, my life will seem really sad and SO routine... this kind of makes me put everything into perspective and I'm thinking maybe I should change it up from time to time!

  14. This kind of post makes my Type-A brain VERY happy. I remember growing up my mom would make me a list like this to keep me on track in the morning and I even plan out my days like this today! I love these kinds of posts!

  18. I struggle with getting up early to workout! I usually lay in bed until about 10 minutes before I have to be out of the door!

  19. Most of my days are actually pretty typical days where I spend most of my work days behind a desk *sigh* but weekends are a whole other thing!
