Monday: A Productive Start to the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mondays don\u2019t get me down, in fact, they\u2019re my perfect launchpad for the week. Unlike many students, I don\u2019t have classes on Mondays. Instead, I kick off the week by working at the University of Westminster Student Union (UWSU) shop on Harrow Campus. The UWSU shop is your one-stop shop for students to get all their essentials from branded clothing, snacks to meal deals and toiletries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in campus halls means no morning commute, just a quick walk to work. It\u2019s a productive yet relaxed way to ease into the week, and it sets a positive tone for everything that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday: A Relaxed Start with Classes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesdays are all about balance. With my first class starting at 1pm, I get to enjoy a slow, stress-free morning. As a Digital Media and Communication student, my workshops are engaging, and our tutors bring a lot of energy to the sessions. After my 1\u20133pm class, I usually spend some quiet time at the library, catching up on readings and assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Tuesdays end with a meaningful tradition: a trip to Oxford Circus to visit the temple. It\u2019s my moment of reflection and peace, the perfect way to wind down the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday: My Favourite Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midweek is my absolute favourite! Wednesdays are packed with activities, but they\u2019re also the most fulfilling. My day starts early with a lecture from 11 am\u201312 pm, followed by a seminar from 12 pm\u20131 pm. Lunch with my best friend during the one-hour break is always a highlight. We catch up, share laughs, and recharge for the rest of the day. The highlight of my Wednesday, though, is my radio show, Bollywood Dhamka<\/em>, which I host on the university\u2019s in-house station. From 2\u20133 pm, I get to share my love for Bollywood music and connect with listeners, making every Wednesday truly special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday: Focused on Work and Study<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursdays are my quieter, more focused days. Without any classes scheduled, I dedicate the day to studying at the library and working on assignments. Sometimes, I squeeze in a shift at the UWSU shop, but it\u2019s generally a low-key day that allows me to catch my breath after the busyness of Wednesday. It\u2019s the perfect setup to prepare for the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday: The Ultimate \u2018Friyay\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fridays are the grand finale of the week, a mix of work and play! My day starts early with a lecture from 10am\u20131pm. While I\u2019m not exactly a morning person, the two breaks during class give me the chance to indulge in a chocolate croissant from the Harrow Campus caf\u00e9\u2014my weekly treat. If I\u2019m scheduled to work, I head straight to the UWSU shop after class. Otherwise, I dive headfirst into the weekend, as Fridays are my designated \u201cgo-out\u201d nights, filled with fun and laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekends: A Time to Recharge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a busy week, weekends are my time to relax, catch up with friends, and prepare for the week ahead. Whether it\u2019s exploring London, attending events on campus, or simply enjoying some downtime, the weekends are always something to look forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
