welcome to my apartment.

thanks for inviting me over.
I love the furniture.
The furniture was here
when I movedin .
sit down and make
yourself comfortable .
Thanks,
would you like something to drink?
I have Diet Coke fruit juice and coffee...
a diet coke , please.
so please tell me how are you getting on with your life
as a college student?
Well...in the beginning, it was hard for me
to fit in.
I grew up in a small town, I was
not used to living in a big city.
I didn't even have any friends and I felt
pretty lonely. it was hard for me to hang in there.
in there . but, Things have changed for the
better.... I finally made a few good friends
to hang out with.
That's great to hear. what's the typical day in your life like ?
Well...I wake up at 7 a.m.
I go to the bathroom wash my face and
brush my teeth. I work out every morning
I can't do without it !(exercise) Before exercising,
I would like to warm up by doing stretches then I take a shower
and after that I have breakfast.
next , I write down my to-do list for the day.
I always blend my day ahead.
I have a strict schedule and I do my best to
stick to it.
Then ..I check the weather because I like
to be prepared for the day and pick out
the right outfit before I leave.
I put on my makeup.
my classes usually start at
9:00
How many meals do you have a day?
I have five or six light meals a day. I've
noticed that three heavy meals a day.
generally weigh me down so I try to eat
less and more often. I have more energy
this way that I can concentrate much
better. whenever possible I try to
squeeze in fifteen to thirty minutes of
exercise in the afternoon.
Exercising helps me calm down when I'm stressed
and it doesn't take up too much of my time.
When do you usually get home?
It depends on the day, but typically
I get home at around 6 p.m.
I have dinner a little later.
Then I lie down for a few minutes
and scroll down social media on my phone.
next, I study for a few hours...
then I watch TV
I try to stay away from negative news,
I usually go for comedies.

Before going to bed, I fill in my journal
and reflect on the day.
My journal helps me with my emotions and thoughts.
It also helps me to set goals.
I plan on taking a French course this year.
That's my new goal.
I love to learn and try out new things
all the time.
I just want to point out that a journal
is really helpful.
Yeah I see. Maybe I should keep
a journal too.
I have many goals that I'd like to achieve.
I want to sign for a gym membership,
but I just keep putting it off.
I never actually get around
to ever doing it.
I plan on keeping a diet and cutting down
on sweets, but I never make it.
I need something sweet every day to help
me get through busy days.
To sum it all up, I think I'm a mess.
Just stick to your goals and don't give up.
Your effort will finally pay off.
what do you usually do in your free time?
Sometimes I sleep in on weekends, when I'm tired
I like to go out and catch up on friends and family.
[Music]
what about you?
you're in the third year, right ?
what's your day like?
My schedule always runs over no matter
how organized I am.
I get up pretty late about 9:00 a.m.
My chaotic morning messes up the rest
of the day.
I wish I could wake up earlier,
but sleep is holding me back
each morning.
I go to bed very late at about 1 a.m.
I haven't been able to change this yet,
but I'm working on it
I'm sure you'll finally make it.
I have a very busy schedule, That's why I never
show up on time anywhere.
The problem is that I've taken up
a part-time job at the mall,
So I go to work every day after classes.
There's just too much going on
in my life right now.
I'm not great at dealing with stress.
Maybe you need to slow down and cut back
on some activities,
Otherwise you'll burn yourself out.
You're perfectly right. I'll drop a few
activities and set aside a time for rest.
Do you want to come round on Saturday
night? I'm throwing a party.
I'm not sure about that.
You know I'm not into parties.
Please don't turn me down. we'll have a
great time.
Okay then, if it's so important to you,
I'll try to come.
Great ! I'm looking forward to it !
Do I need to dress up?
No, you can wear casual clothes.
I have to go now. I don't want to take up
any more of your time.
and I have to get down to studying.
