A day in the life at UoB is normally a busy one! I am a second year student studying Sport Physical Education and Coaching Science.

I wake up around 9am and spend some time getting ready and eating breakfast with my housemates. Occasionally we walk onto campus together and go our separate ways to our lectures or seminars. I don't normally have more than 3 lectures per day and so this gives me a lot of free time. I meet up with my partner for a gym session and this means that around 1pm we have lunch together before I go on to campus to study. I meet up with friends for a study session and coffee or I go to my next lesson.

I have practicals in the afternoon and they are very enjoyable; my friends and I hang back at the end to have a proper catch up. My evenings are never the same; a lot of the time I watch some shows with my housemates if we are not having a night out! We cook dinner at the same time so that we can have a nice catch up about our day. We go to bed around 1am ready for the next day!
