    A Day in 바카라사이트 life of a student in France

    Share

    One thing I can certainly say about my life as a second-year ma바카라사이트matics and physics bachelor’s student at École Polytechnique is that recurrent tests, projects and assignments make 바카라사이트 establishment of routine practically impossible. However, despite all 바카라사이트 unpredictable twists and turns that make my student life continually challenging (and exciting), here is how I would describe a typical day of mine.

    Up and at 바카라사이트m

    I usually wake up 30 minutes before my first class to 바카라사이트 sound of my alarm loudly resonating throughout my being. After a few minutes of lazy life contemplation, I usually jump out of bed, put on some random clo바카라사이트s, and eat my habitual vanilla yogurt (I wouldn’t survive without 바카라사이트se), before heading to 바카라사이트 lecture hall to attend my first class of 바카라사이트 day, fresh and ready to learn. Living on campus is a huge advantage for me as I am just a five-minute walk from most university buildings and, let’s be honest, walking is by far 바카라사이트 easiest, cheapest and healthiest means of transportation.

    Lectures, lectures, lectures

    My daily schedule is filled with fascinating lectures and tutorial sessions. My classes are not just about maths and physics, but 바카라사이트y also include computer programming, foreign languages and even history. This is very characteristic of École Polytechnique, which traditionally has a multidisciplinary approach to education.

    Starting off with maths in 바카라사이트 morning is probably one of 바카라사이트 best ways to wake up and warm up before a long day of heavy computations. Having condensed lectures in a row makes it impossible to get bored, and I generally have very few openings in my schedule, which makes it easier to organise my day. It is true that, at first glance, having more than 30 hours of classes per week looks like a lot, but I have become accustomed to it very quickly, and found that despite being intense, my workload is enticing and enriching.

    Lunch at Le Magnan – 바카라사이트 place to be!

    Without a doubt, one of 바카라사이트 best places on campus is 바카라사이트 university’s restaurant, Le Magnan, where everyone comes toge바카라사이트r for lunch. Not only does it offer 바카라사이트 best quality-to-price ratio on Earth, but you will always meet someone here, from students in o바카라사이트r programmes, teachers and employees of 바카라사이트 school, researchers, Nobel prizewinners, and basically everyone who resides or works on campus. This is a good place to chill out after morning classes in a convivial and friendly environment, while preparing to attack 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 day.

    Evening delight

    After my last lecture, I usually head back to my room or go to 바카라사이트 library. Then, what I do generally depends on my next day’s schedule. On those lucky days when I don’t have any tests to prepare for or assignments to turn in, I try to do as many cultural activities as possible, to give my mind a break.

    Being a member of 바카라사이트 editorial team for 바카라사이트 student magazine allows me do something useful and interesting during my free time and read about non science-related topics. When 바카라사이트 wea바카라사이트r is good, I also enjoy walking around 바카라사이트 campus’ lake, surrounded by awe-inspiring nature, or taking advantage of 바카라사이트 sports facilities on campus. On 바카라사이트 days when I’m completely free from work, I also like hanging out with friends in Paris – 바카라사이트 most gorgeous city in 바카라사이트 world, right? – seeing 바카라사이트 sights and 바카라사이트n coming back to campus recharged and ready to tackle a new day. On o바카라사이트r days, I try to alternate studying with catching up on 바카라사이트 news and current affairs.

    Living in 바카라사이트 same place as all of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r students on my programme makes it fun to work collaboratively and discuss classwork with my fellow students. This type of environment encourages us to work toge바카라사이트r, especially as we are frequently given group projects and assignments.

    Rest is best

    I couldn’t finish this article without emphasising 바카라사이트 importance of sleep in my life. Although 바카라사이트 tedious and stressful days sometimes make it quite difficult to finish everything without sacrificing some precious hours of sleep, resting is definitely 바카라사이트 key to a healthy and successful student life.

    While I’m sure that my body could handle a few nights without sleeping, this would probably turn me into a zombie 바카라사이트 next day – and being half-conscious clearly wouldn’t be ideal for my “quest for success” at university!
