A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STANFORD STUDENT ATHLETE!

[@gracealleman2411]

I don't know why I'm watching this. I am not going to Stanford, I am not a student athlete, and I am not a boy.

@SandiandBodiandI Bodi hey I'm sorry you are getting a bit heated about all of this. I was just pointing out to myself mostly that I don't have very much reason to watch this, but yes, I guess I did find it entertaining. Why you would care, I don't really know. I'm not here to judge what you are doing here, but I'd really appreciate it if you stopped, thanks.

The fact that he doesn't stop smiling even tho he has tons of things to do. Agh, I need to achieve this level of happiness. I hope you are like this in real life and not only on youtube

[@fauxdauteur]

You need to be extremely ambitious to go to Stanford and be an athlete, so I suspect that he's fallen in love with the grind and has a vision of his life that he wants to realize.

Definitely an awesome video, Charles! I’m so fascinated with all these “Stanford in the Life” videos; they’re so interesting. I also loved how you didn’t wanna focus too much on your athlete side of the story, since we don’t get to see much of your student life. Anyways, I actually just got into Stanford this year, so hopefully I can experience some of the cardinal life! 🌲’27!!

do you ever feel like being a student athlete makes it hard to stay up with school work? and is the work load something that clashes with/ stops you from social things like parties?

[@charleshicks]

Personally, I haven’t felt that much of a conflict. Obviously you have to prioritize certain things in life over others, but I think that’s the nature of the beast if you’re trying to do something to the best of your ability. I feel like I’m living my best life tho! Feel free to Lmk if you have any other questions 😊
