Day in the Life of a BABM Student

Greetings to my lovely readers!! Today, I’ll be yapping about my day as a business student (I do Business and Management for those who don’t know me). Unfortunately, my course isn’t anything crazy and interesting but hey, I’m sure I can get loads of jobs after graduation right?

ooop...

Anyways, moving swiftly on - this is what my typical day looks like as a Business and Management student at Coventry University!

For the sake of this blog, I kind of used one of the days I had this week. Don’t worry I’m not always this "busy".

9:00 AM - First lecture of the day. I live very close to the university campus, so I wake up like 40 minutes before the class starts. I promise you, every day is a game of making it to class on time (spoiler: I don’t always make it). This semester, we could choose our modules, so I went with Purchasing and Procurement and Ethical Leadership, the rest is related to my dissertation. Thursdays are the toughest because I finish at 6 PM, but on most days, I wrap up classes by 2-3 PM

2:00 PM - Library study (or yap) session. Listen ye, I do yap a lot but I DO go to the library to do my work - sometimes. I swear the library is like my second home, I see the librarians more than I see my parents. If you ever want to come to say hi, just look for me in the library, you’ll find me, no doubt.

Some days, I’ll meet up with my group for project discussions, or preparing for our presentation.

4:00 PM - Heading home and prepping for work. If I have work scheduled, I’ll head home to grab a meal and my working clothes.

5:00 PM - Part-time work! I’m hoping most of the readers here know and remember me from the ResLife events, but if you’re just one of the readers who don’t know about ResLife, then HI!! I work as an events assistant basically:) We do events for students who live in the university's student accommodations. Our events usually run for 2 -3 hours. 

8:00 PM - Dinner. After getting back from work I force myself to make dinner. You guyssss... Some of you will understand some of you won’t but the way I always have to force myself to ACTUALLY COOK and not just order takeout - Yes, one of the hardest things to do. 

Sometimes, people from my group also want to call because it’s the only available time for everyone (all of us work). So I have to be hangry AND go on call? Terrible, I know.

10:00 PM - Shower and relax. The last and best part of the day. I go take a shower and afterward, it’s literally just doom-scrolling on TikTok, reading manga, or tea time sesh with my friend on Facetime.

On days that are closer to my submission, I’d be working on my assignments for a bit and then just head to bed, but for now, I’m enjoying my freedom.

Being a business management student...

... might sound easy to some, and I admit it’s not the hardest compared to all the engineering students (I’ve heard many stories) and other majors but it still requires dedication, time management, and motivation to honestly do all of those responsibilities. It might not be as intense as other majors but it keeps me engaged and constantly learning in other ways.

So, how different is my day as a business student from yours?
