My life outside of school is quite normal or even busy, in my opinion. Normally, on days I don’t have school, I try to do things for my mom to make the day easier for her. Some of my favorite hobbies are drawing, cleaning, and going to the gym. Even on days I don’t have school, I get up very early since I think the day doesn’t have enough time in it.
At the moment, though, my days are even busier than normal. I start the day by making a quick video for my YouTube channel, Encaged Dreamer Studio. Then I clean up around the house and eat breakfast. Before I have lunch, I call the science center to see if they have any openings for a volunteer or a part-time worker. After that, I jump in the shower to get ready to take a quick bike ride down to my local gym, where I do an hour-long workout before heading home. When I get back, I do small things like finishing cleaning or playing some video games.
Once my mom gets home from work, I make dinner for us so she can relax for a little bit. Once we’re done with dinner, we help out my stepdad as much as we can since we are going to SEMA soon and we are in that crunch time.
While all of this may seem chaotic, it’s actually quite nice. I enjoy days filled with activities but still enough time to be tired from time to time. This is my day in life outside of school. I hope yours is as great as mine. Thank you for reading this! <3
