Hey there, Rebels! Welcome back to our Day In The Life column! For the twenty-third edition, we’ve interviewed three members of RPF: 1 Captain, 1 Colonel, and 1 Officer Cadet! Now, let’s read about what each of their days typically looks like!

So I woke up at 8:30 and ate breakfast. Then I waited for a bit and played some games on my iPad while I digested (usually merge games lol) before I got ready and headed over to my aunt and uncle’s house to help them out. Me and my aunt usually do word searches or color while my uncle runs his errands. After a few hours, I went to run some errands myself (doctor’s office, medicine for me or the dogs, groceries, etc) and headed back home to relax a bit. Since it’s summer and I’m between jobs I tend to just play games, attend RPF events, play with the dogs/exercise a bit, make dinner for my family, feed the dogs, and yap in main. The time I go to sleep tends to vary, but it usually is around 12-1am.

hey mtv, welcome to my day in the life!! i start the day off by jolting out of bed at 6 am to my alarm, appropriately titled “lock in” ((typically, i am anything but locked)) i get dressed for the gym and usually grab a premade smoothie from the fridge & head out. after an hour or so of straight gainzzzz i grab a coffee (iced, of course) at the gyms cafe & head back home to start my workday. i’ll mosey around and tidy up the mess i made from cooking dinner the night before, shower the gym germs off, change into lounge wear, feed my dog, let her in the backyard, check my garden, and then realize i need to start work. lucky for me i work from home so it’s a quick 10 steps to my office! i have three monitors at my work station – one used for spotify (boo apple music), one for my work tasks, and the other is on discord. i love reading the chat fly by and jumping in with comments between work calls. it’s fun to see all the timezones wake up and fall asleep. work can end anywhere between 1pm – 4pm depending on my caseload. if i finish early, or have long breaks, i’ll hop on cpj and waddle around / join events. you can usually spot me in a fashion show or serving coffee to earn dolla dolla bills. once my irl work day is finished, its party time. and by party time i mean i snuggle with my dog for about an hour to decompress! i love arts & crafts & doing things with my hands, so between work being done, snuggling with my dog, and dinner, im usually working on some sort of painting or diy project. when my stomach starts growling & my eyes start crossing – i know its time to be done. i’m not one of those “grocery shop once a week and get all my ingredients” kinda gal because my mind changes too much. so around 5 i’ll head to my local grocery store & pick out fixings for the nights dinner. if i’m too lazy to even think ill grab something quick, or order from my local chicken teriyaki place. i like to shower before dinner so i can fully relax after – ill do my 18294 step skincare routine & start cooking. once dinner is made ill sit on my couch and watch tv. i don’t really watch tv just to watch tv, i have to have a show im currently binging. right now im finishing the second season of andor, but when that’s over i’ll be in a show hole – so this is my plea for tv show suggestions. otherwise, i put on either the king of queens OR this show from the 80’s (??) called supermarket sweep. it’s calming, idk. if the night calls for a sweet treat (spoiler, it always does) i will have one and usually lay in my bed and either read / listen to music and doom scroll until i fall asleep. my dog (all 80lbs of her) sleeps with me until around midnight and then she gets sick of me and jumps off to her little dog bed. as quickly as i’ve closed my eyes, it’s time again to lock in for the next day – and it starts all over!

because it’s summer, i don’t have any classes right now, and i’m unemployed, so i don’t do a lot during the day. i usually wake up around 11 am (that’s being generous—it’s usually after 12 if i’m being honest, but let’s pretend), and the first thing i do is check my phone for any missed notifications i got overnight, answer messages, check socials, and sometimes even scroll on tiktok for a bit. once i get up, i’ll feed my guinea pig, my cats, and the dogs their breakfast, but i don’t usually eat breakfast, so i wait till lunch to make food. my number one safe food is instant noodles, so the majority of my meals consist of ramen. once i make food, i’ll sit in my room and watch tv for a bit. i like to watch youtube (mostly good mythical morning because they upload around lunchtime in my timezone) while i eat, but i’ve been trying to catch up on some shows that have been sitting in my watchlist for a while, so i’ve been watching a lot of netflix too. then i’ll spend some time with my family, playing with my little brother, or i’ll go run errands with my mum. or, if i have any chores, i’ll procrastinate heavily before actually doing them. during the evening, i’ll usually sit on my laptop and play a game, chat to some friends on discord, attend an rpf event—duh—or i’ll take the time to fill out job applications online since i’m actively job hunting right now. i’m trying to pick up drawing as a hobby again, so sometimes i like to sketch and listen to music. i’ll usually eat dinner between 7 and 9 pm, depending on when my mum cooks, orrrr, very occasionally, i’ll cook. then i’ll make dinner for my babies. my guinea pig gets a little chopped salad, and the cats and dogs get some wet food. then i spend the rest of the evening on my laptop or on my phone. i usually go to bed around 1 to 3 am, depending on when i get tired, and i almost always fall asleep watching asmr on youtube… it’s my guilty pleasure, don’t judge lmao. but yeah! that’s my average day!! 🙂
That wraps up this edition! Thank you for reading, and thank you to Memmyrabilia, Mizzle, and Jules for allowing themselves to be interviewed!
Until next time, Rebels!
