wait a minute this isn't University on
tonight's program ladies and gentlemen
we have something that's gonna make you
sick hello and welcome to a day in the
life of a university student who isn't
at uni my name is Jack Edwards and I am
supposed to be a final year student at
the University of Durham however I'm
currently a student at the University on
my bedroom obviously we've all been sent
home from university because of the
global pandemic that's happening but
today I thought I would share with you
basically what a day in my life
looks like at the moment doing my final
ever term of University online today's
video is proudly in support of hashtag
youtubers for NHS heroes this is an
initiative where today on Super Saturday
loads and loads of youtubers are
uploading videos where all of the
adsense money that we get from the
adverts that come before during and
after our YouTube videos go straight to
charity to the people on the front line
battling against this hideous virus so
it's all for a great cause and if you'd
like any more information on that or
want to know how to donate further and
I'll leave some information down below
so I am starting my day today by doing
my one piece of state-authorized
exercise so I have been a challenge in
an Instagram tag which is run 5 donate 5
and tag 5 so basically you just run 5k
donate 5 pounds and tag 5 other people
to do the same because apparently there
is something about us all being stuck
inside and socially distancing that
means that we are using social media
like it's 2013 again and I'm here for it
now I have got a very dodgy me but you
know what it's for charity so I'm gonna
do it anyway so I'm gonna get ready into
some running gear got a leaf thumb over
then and head out onto the streets I've
actually left the house in a while so I
think this will actually be a very good
start to the day because normally when
I'm at university I'd go to the gym in
the morning which obviously I haven't
been able to do so I'm quite looking
forward to being able to go for a run
good it's also just from doing that jump
[Applause]
okay I am back from my little excursion
out of the house did I enjoy it no not
really my knee is just absolutely
killing me like I don't know what I've
done too but it's so painful so I just
powered through because it was for
charity but now I kind of can't walk so
it's fine actually because it's now
ready to go so now I'm going to force
five other people to do this on
Instagram so when the week before
lockdown was announced we had some
scaffolding part on the house because
the ceilings start caving in like no big
deal and obviously when lockdown was
announced the scaffolders had to go home
and they couldn't take it down again so
I have a balcony so I am going to grab
this and the book I'm currently reading
for one of my modules and take advantage
of it try and tell me I'm not a genius
I freaking dare you this is the life I
feel as though I should probably
acknowledge the elephant in the room and
that is this facial hair situation that
is going on basically it is just sheer
laziness my thought process is kind of
like who cares I might as well just try
it out experiment with it because like
no one's gonna see me right ah I make
youtube videos so I assume I hope
someone's watching this but sorry
ultimately it was either grow some hair
here or loose some hair here and I just
don't think it's time for the buzz cut
yet when I was a kid actually my dad
used to always give me a haircut and the
only thing he knew how to do was a buzz
cut so I've actually had a buzz cut for
quite a long period of my life but then
at one time the god fell off the
Clippers and just shake its massive bald
patch into my head and after that he
wasn't allowed to cut my hair anymore so
at the moment this situation is
occurring the thing is right my facial
hair just grows so quickly it has done
since I was like 13 years old I don't
know what happened but puberty hit me
like frickin Anthony Joshua and I was
that kid that just had a weird mustache
and so right now I'm owning it and I'm
sorry if you hate it but it'll be gone
soon but now it's time to do some actual
work to be fair I do you try to normally
start my day by doing some exercise and
then doing some
I feel like it just puts me in the right
headspace to work for the day but I've
actually got some online lectures which
is quite a new thing for me actually
because my department at Durham for some
reason don't per our lectures online
even though every other department does
apparently the 9,000 pounds we pay in
tuition fees isn't enough who'd have
thought it huh anyway our lectures from
the last week of term have been put
online instead of obviously taking place
in person so one I think has an audio
file and then one is just like a
document of the scripts that the
lecturer would have read so I'm going to
give those ago and we will see what
happens
do you hear this this lecture is just an
hour of white noise are you taking the
map okay I'm gonna try this one this one
could be more promising god that's a
success day
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
so my lecture has been slightly
interrupted because mom has made these
and asked me if I wanted to try one and
honestly this is the best lecture I've
ever been to
we are currently making a dog assault
course are you come on Oh me okay ready
yeah yeah Oh cor blimey you greedy Pig
okay so now that I'm done with being
distracted I have managed to do two
lectures today so I've made like quite
extensive notes and it's making me
realize how much better it is to have
lectures online where you can just go
back to the bits you missed my
department really did me dirty these
three years anyway for the rest of the
afternoon I have some reading to do to
prep for future lectures and I also have
a class which is taking place over zoom
in half an hour so I kind of have half
an hour to kill at the moment so I'm
going to use that time to plan out my
week in my yearly planner let me find a
blank page wait there we go like so this
is how the wiki spread kind of looks and
if you like the look of this firstly
thank you and designed it actually did
design this is for my brand think
outside the box where I make give you
planners and I'm obsessed with them I
have actually dropped the price down to
50% off at the moment because we all
need a bit of structure and organization
in this crazy hectic time and I know
that being able to plan out what I'm
doing is reeling me so I want to make
sure that you guys can too so if you do
want to know more about that then the
link is down below I need to work out if
I can change my background on Zumba for
my class because this is what my
background currently is and I feel like
my professor is not really going to
appreciate that oh I can it's okay for
you okay so my class is starting kind of
now there's actually no excuse for being
late to this because it's like where
else would you be
no that's login hello
I'm back up on my balcony because I
literally cannot put this book down even
though it's what I'm studying I would
highly recommend it it's called disgrace
by JM Coetzee and it's great also if
you're looking for some recommendations
for some things to read during lockdown
beloved Gulliver's Travels buddy-boy The
Kite Runner the power outline the
Clockwork Orange tender is the ninth
home fire and a single man this is what
my dissertation was on also since we
have quite a bit of free time at the
moment I have been listening to
audiobooks so at the moment listening to
Pride and Prejudice and I would really
really recommend them there's loads on
YouTube completely for free what is the
other sins are so many audiobooks on
YouTube I decisons them what I'm like
doing the washing-up taking the dog for
a war I don't know I just find it really
relaxing so I thought I just recommend
that so tomorrow is actually my
university housemate Anna's birthday
however obviously we are not currently
at the university house and so we have
rallied the troops and tonight we are
going to be doing a zoom pop quiz how
very 2020 of us so I'm just getting
myself a drink and not gonna lie to you
guys
I'm in it to win it tonight like I am
not playing around with most things I'm
not very competitive like team sports
was never really very competitive but
when it comes to things like a pop quiz
or like a game of Scrabble I'm going
into the kill so yeah that is how I'm
spending my evening tonight we're
basically just all hanging out like we
would if we weren't uni except we would
probably be clubbing and not liking each
other through a screen but you know what
we're just gonna make the best of a bad
situation so the zoom pop quiz it is
they are
let's get quizzical is it bad luck to
open your Easter eggs before Easter I
mean can things get much worse I don't
know like honestly at this point I don't
even care I just wanted this thing I'm
not eating the actual egg well maybe
this whole virus is because we didn't
pass on those like chainmail things like
if you don't pass this on you'll have
seven years of bad luck and we're all
just collectively receiving that time
now still a better conspiracy theory
than the five G one anyway Cheers okay
so it is the next day now not that the
days are really distinguishable like
because time is just avoid
anyway that was depressing but you will
be pleased to know that I actually
how came first place in the pop quiz
that is the achievement of my life I
then also ate all of the Easter Egg that
I said I wasn't going to eat but you
know what self-care that is self-care so
I thought I would end this video yeah
thank you very much for watching if you

new videos at the moment because what
