A Day in My Life as a Student Entrepreneur

It’s my last Tuesday/Thursday class day of the semester, and honestly, it feels weird. The past few months have been packed — classes, building SKIP IT., trying to balance everything without burning out. Today was busy in that quiet, heavy way where you know you’re at the end of something. Here's what it looked like:

Morning

9:00 AM — TOM Tutoring 

I started the morning with a tutoring session to prep for my Technical Operations Management midterm. It wasn’t glamorous, just me, my tutor, and trying to make sure all the formulas actually make sense. Honestly, I’m proud of how much I’ve pushed myself this semester, even on the days I felt behind.

Midday

1:15 PM — Business Analytics Class 

This class was mostly review today. It hit me that a few months ago, a lot of what I know now felt impossible. I almost dropped this class just a month ago because I was so overwhelmed, but I'm sitting in the last class. Finally done with R studio (for now) (and with my professor). I’m not great at pausing to notice growth when I’m in it, but sitting in class today, I did.

3:00 PM — Tech Operations Management Class 

Final assignments turned in. Project presented. End-of-semester energy. It’s weird how fast everything moves once you're close to the finish line. Not every assignment was perfect, but I showed up, and that’s what mattered.

Afternoon Reset

After classes, I needed real downtime. Not the fake "I'll relax while answering emails" kind — like actually sitting still for a little while. Learning when to slow down is still hard for me, but it’s something I’m working on.

Evening

7:15 PM — eTower Associates Meeting (SKIP IT.) 

Tonight was our last eTower Associates meeting before summer. I shared some updates on SKIP IT., where I’m at with development, and next steps for beta testing. It felt good to be surrounded by people who get what it's like to build something from scratch — even when it’s messy, even when you're still figuring it out.

Final Thoughts

Today wasn’t some huge turning point. It was a regular busy day that happened to mean something because of how far I’ve come since the start of this semester. Not every season is about big wins or big moments — sometimes it’s just about staying in it, even when you're tired.

If you’re in that place too, I get it. And it’s enough.
