Lately I've been trying to balance uni, making videos and everything else.
And honestly I'm still figuring it out.
So here we are, back with another really realistic day in my life.
It's not a super early wake up as I don't have class to attend to
and I don't have a specific video to film today.
But I still ended up getting out of bed at like 8.45.
My mornings definitely aren't perfect.
Whenever I'm eating breakfast I'll usually watch YouTube or scroll through Instagram Reels.
I know it's bad, I think I might have a TikTok brain.
This is probably one of the most important parts of my day.
Turning on my desk setup as this is where all of my work gets done.
And with that the time is almost 10.30.
I've basically done my whole morning routine.
Today is going to be a really realistic raw day in the life of a student tech creator.
Going through university but today is a pretty chill day.
But hopefully you enjoyed this video and now let's get on to the next
thing I'd usually do in the morning.
As soon as I turn my PC on the first thing I'll usually do is go straight to YouTube Studio.
I'll check through comments, analytics.
I had a recent video do really well so it's really nice to just check through,
see all the new comments, new viewers and just respond to anything in general.
Then I'll move straight to checking through all of my inbound emails I received over the night.
It usually just consists of different products or
softwares that I can review or integrate into my daily life.
It's pretty cool that even though I consider my channel at the beginning stages of its career
that I still get emails from brands that I've known of for ages.
And even though I literally just turned on my setup,
I'm not really in the mood to sit down and get started on work.
So I think I'll get my workout out of the way and head to the gym.
I honestly don't know why I take such a big bag.
I literally only take headphones and a water bottle.
But I feel like I just need to take a bag to the gym,
else it feels like I'm missing something.
Let me know if other people are like that too.
I just got into the car.
I just got ready.
It's actually really hot in here because it's a really nice day outside.
But I'm probably quickly going to go to the shop,
get an energy drink or something because I feel super tired.
I'm not even sure why.
Probably a bad idea.
But yeah, let's drive, get a drink and then go straight to the gym.
So today I'm doing shoulders and triceps.
I'll always start off with the shoulder press just because I feel like it requires the most energy.
I wasn't really feeling it today, so I didn't go too heavy on the weights.
But after that, I just did some simple lat raises.
Finished off with some triceps.
I'll usually do one shoulder exercise, then do one tricep exercise and alternate them.
But because the machines were taken, I had to improvise.
After doing a workout, it's pretty essential you get a good amount of protein.
So I made a high protein meal for lunch, chilled, watched some videos for a bit,
just procrastinating getting any work done.
OK, so quick update.
It's eight past three and I've eaten lunch, watched some YouTube.
Obviously, I got some gym clothes that I quickly want to check out.
They just came in the post.
So I'm going to open them, unbox them and see what they look like.
And then I've got to get started on my assignment work for my university.
So it's going to be a pretty chill afternoon, but I might do something later.
Today's definitely a more university focused day, if that makes sense.
Sometimes I'll have a more YouTube focused day where I'll film videos, plan content, etc.
But today I've got to get assignments done.
So it's definitely more focused on that.
But definitely let me know if you want a more behind the scenes video
of how I film and just the more YouTube sided stuff.
As you can tell, it's been getting pretty serious.
I had to pop out the blue light glasses for the one time.
Yeah, I've done about an hour, maybe an hour and a half.
Work on the assignment, done all the calculations I need to.
I've made good progress in that time.
Probably going to chill on that now because it's like two weeks until the hand in date.
But other than that, I'm going to quickly check through an email of a pending partnership
because I want to be updated on that.
But it's a pretty chill, raw day in my life.
You guys like the pretty raw content, how it actually is.
I might get on a game in a bit and just chill for the rest of the afternoon into the evening.
I then got on some Minecraft and just basically chilled.
I've recently got a new OLED monitor.
So playing on this in a dark room just looks amazing, especially with shaders on.
You guys were also flaming me in my last video for having a light bar on my OLED monitor.
But honestly, I have it angled away and it really doesn't affect the image.
And if you're curious about anything on my desk,
what it is and where I got it from, I'll leave that all linked below in the description.
And if you enjoy content like this or more tech focused videos, I've got a lot more on my channel.
And I'll see you guys in the next one.
