Hi Rebels! Welcome back to the Day in the Life column!! For our 24th edition our Day in the Life team have got 3 interviews from a Specialist, a Lieutenant General and a Cadet. Now sit back, relax and get ready to read about what these rebels get up to on a typical day!
Kewpie
Hey Rebels, I’ve been waking up very early in the morning lately, no alarm but my body likes to wake up at 4-5am lately. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I like to respond to my most of my discord DMs pretty soon after waking up because time zones! (My inbox is so full since joining RPF but I love it!) I’m so happy to have met so many cool people btw. Then after responding one of two things happens, I either go back to sleep, or let myself study at 5am when barely anyone is awake. I get so distracted that this is helpful in the early morning. After pacing around my room to fully wake up, I sit down at my desk and start studying. I’m a college/uni student and I study mathematics! I’m newly unemployed after my math tutoring summer job ended recently. Studying in the morning sets the tone for the day for sure! If I’m getting distracted easily or have too much energy I do like a short 5 minute burst of exercise that I call “exercise snacks” I’ve been finding what movements or exercises feel good and enjoyable. The 5 minute time limit is just enough to get me focused lol. After that studying is done I’ll eat breakfast usually last nights dinner with an egg. Or if I’m feeling like it I’ll cook something! Working on building up my recipe folder! After eating I like to check in on what people say in RPF main chat. (Note: I’m lying I lurk in there while I eat uhh) sometimes I do one on one chats with different friends if they’re available it helps me feel good about the day, usually from different servers but also new friends from RPF! My day then passes so fast because I sometimes do Mandarin Chinese or Tagalog lessons in the afternoon, work on my many crochet projects !! , watch tv, or chill with my nephew while my sister is at work hah. I try not to play a lot of games unless it’s a childfree weekend, but occasionally I play sims, cult of the lamb, and fields of mistria. When my daughter visits I’m on Mom mode and I don’t have a lot of free time to do what I want to do like study or do my language lessons. I don’t like splitting my attention when I’m with her I try to be patient, kind, and supportive when I see her. I strive to be kid focused when she’s here but when she’s not here then I just go with my planned day/go with the flow! (I’m taking a class soon to refresh myself on Linear algebra so if anyone wants to body double and study with me I’m down!) At the end of the day I clean my room and whatever was used in the kitchen and then join vc for a bit, I try to go to bed at 11pm. Rinse and repeat for a couple more weeks. With classes starting I’m gonna be so busy so I’m enjoying my free time for the next two weeks haha.

A typical day in my life usually starts with me waking up around 6 or 7 and tbh immediately checking my phone lol. Once i’m finally ready to get out of bed, i take a shower, do my skincare and make some breakfast. Once I’m awake and fed, I usually log into work. Since I work from home, I’m usually just chilling at my desk all day taking countless meetings. At lunch, I either go outside to play with my dogs or sometimes attend an RPF event if I can. After work, I like to sit outside for a bit and let my chickens run around. They like to chase the grasshoppers so I let them hangout for a little while. Most nights have some sort of event either in RPF or the Roblox division in the evenings, so I’ll usually go to that. If there’s not any sort of event, I like to hangout with my friends or take my dogs for a walk! Normally after that, i will just play video games until i go to bed lol.
Firehose
Hi, thank you for having me! My mornings start early at 5:30 AM with a stretch, a quick check of important phone notifications, and the essentials—brushing my teeth, feeding my pets, grabbing some bread, and then a shower to fully wake up. By the time I head out, I usually arrive at work just minutes before 8 AM. My day is pretty steady, and during breaks, especially lunch, I like to hop into RPF chat to unwind and catch up with everyone. I also log on to CPJ during those breaks before getting back to work and wrapping up the day at 5 PM, then I head home. Once I’m back home, I feed my pets again, change into something comfy, and decompress while chatting more in RPF, logging on to CPJ, scrolling for random reads online, or watching cooking competitions (my go-to lately) while having dinner. Before calling it a night, I prep my clothes for the next day, take a shower, brush my teeth, and settle into bed— usually still chatting, reading, or watching something from my phone until I drift off to sleep. That’s usually how my days go, while making sure to attend RPF events! Weekends also give me more time to relax with my pets, catch up on household chores, and get some more rest, which always helps me reset before the new week. Thank you again for having me!
