A student at Harvard, one of America’s most prestigious universities, shows us what daily life involves for her, starting from when her alarm clock goes off in the morning.

After a little early study, our Harvard student skips breakfast and heads out to her first class. It’s a busy life of classes, homework, and dining hall meals, but she still finds time to socialize and even work a part-time job.

The weather’s good, and our student heads outside to study. Cafés and coffee shops are places to work, as well as to hang out and enjoy time with friends. We learn that it's important to her to take physical wellbeing very seriously as well, with several gym workouts every week. At the end of the long college day, there’s a gentle wind down before bedtime.
