DAY IN MY LIFE: UNIVERSITY STUDENT // TORONTO

[@LuvWinchesterMen]

I am a full time student and just got a new full time job last week... all at 41 years old!! I totally understand your stress filled days!! But I also know the struggle will be sooooo worth it in the end! Keep it up!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

WOW, I'm bowing down to you....teach me your ways! :P But yes, I know I'll be glad I went through this all once I graduate so keeping my eyes on the prize of freedom 😂

[@ShannonLeighMusic]

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one super busy & overwhelmed with Uni! But we got this ☺️💕

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Shannon Leigh Absolutelyyyyy, Shannon! We definitely got this 💪😊❤️

[@jessicanoble7764]

Please do more student edition videos, I find them really interesting been a university student myself, and been able to compare and contrast my day 💜❤️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Jessica Noble Yay, thanks Jessica! Definitely up for doing more if people are interested 👌❤️😊

[@emilylarson1387]

I love your planner mondays! :) Keep them up, it puts a smile on my face every Monday! I'm in college too & my day usually starts with caffeine in the form of coffee or tea. I like to block my classes together so I go to class for several hours, either 9-4 or 10-1 depending on the day. I like it because then I can go back home and focus on homework, studying, clubs, & de-stressing (that one's the hardest haha). I like to watch youtube during my homework breaks. I struggle sometimes (okay, a lot!) with finding balance in college with coursework, a job, running a club, and hanging out with friends, & it's nice to see how you fit in youtube with a busy college life

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks, Emily!!! I like your method of grouping your classes together....much better then having small gaps of time throughout your whole schedule 👌 Balance definitely isn't easy....I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that you kind of just have to take it day by day, and put your time where it's most needed :)

[@smileycitrus]

so cool seeing a Toronto gal killin it! love your videos x

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+smileycitrus Thank-you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@hanaahmed9598]

you make me feel like i want to go to universty. But then i remember i am. Dammit!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

LOL! 😂😂

[@alexismartinez4556]

It's so nice to see a realistic routine! My routine is the same lol I go to school, come home, eat, nap, do assignments and read!! I'm a soc major so it's SOOOOOOO much reading! You should definitely do more videos like this! ❤️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Oh wow, I can only imagine how much reading you have to do...I almost took a psychology course first year and then quickly changed my mind when I saw the reading requirement lol!

[@wvdrummerchick]

I love how real you are in these videos!! Love watching!!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+wvdrummerchick Thank-youuu so much !! Means a lot ❤️

[@lavenderruffles]

I'm a first year at uWaterloo and wow university is so different from high school! I'm having a really hard time keeping caught up with readings (especially since I don't really like them :P) and I'm trying to also find ways to make time for working out and stuff. I've noticed that my eating habits are awful cause I just don't really care about healthy food anymore haha. Still looking for that balance like you are!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

HUGE piece of advice: try and keep up with your readings because the more you put it off, the quicker you'll get behind (speaking from experience lol)! Yeah there's a bit of an adjustment period...I find there's that time at the start of every school year....takes a while to get back into the swing of things 😅

[@anjxo7706]

Girl I feel you. I am also at UWaterloo going into second year now so we are probably in the same year... I get the struggle! :) The eating habits are a struggle and omg I tried working out too... Im sure u know of the REV residence gym.. tried so hard to make that a habit lol.

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

I love these types of videos, and you're so precious! I hope I won't sound too weird, but when you were talking with your mom, I kinda wanted to hug you, because I know what is like feeling like that! So I'll just give you a virtual hug!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Awww you're too sweet...virtual hugs are fantastic ❤ Yeah those moments happen every now and then, so I'm glad I was able to capture it on camera :)

[@MeghanKylieee]

Oh, how I can relate to you so much; especially the amount of work given in a span of 3-4 weeks! I'm a third-year undergraduate studying communication & new media! Been in school for about a month now and it's already struggle. Juggling a part-time job (5-16 hours a week), modeling, and 5 classes (4 academic + 1 elective) at a university here in BC. 3 papers, 2 group presentations, two journal writing projects, midterms and even weekly reading quizzes.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

MY GOODNESS, you have got a lot on your schedule! On the bright side, you're going to be a master multi-tasker once school is done 😝 Good luck with your communication degree :)

[@ItsMay]

I love how you're so genuine in all you videos!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thank-you so much ❤

[@LeechUFC]

Guys, don't forget, she got accepted to Rotman Commerce from high school so her marks were obviously at the very least, low 90s

[@joao_costa]

Hey Dylan! That applies to most students, although I do know some people who got into Rotman with high 80s FYI

[@aileenlobb1790]

It’s so motivating watching your videos and seeing you somehow deal with all the stress! I just got my schedule for this upcoming semester and I’ve literally got 10 classes and heaps of lectures and only sundays off and I am currently absolutely stressing out about that and have no idea how to have at least a bit of actual free time as I need to do homework and studying outside of lectures! I’m sure I’ll manage somehow but definitely stressing out right now!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks, Aileen! That seems like it'd be a stressful situation but make sure you schedule in "free time" as if it's a class, because it's just as important...I personally don't operate properly if I don't take time for myself 😂

[@bandlover3890]

A typical day in my life: my alarm clock rings at 6am and then I get ready and leave the house at about 6:45 am to walk to the train station. When I arrive in the city I go to school to its about 7:30am. Classes start at 8 am and go until 1pm and I come back from school at around 2pm and cook lunch. Then there's lots of homework to do and then free time until I go to bed at around 10pm :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Long day!! School is no joke, haha !

[@Ana-fm3zt]

I loveeeeddd your video! It's amazing to see you're in UofT! It has been my dream to attend since 8th grade. Now, I'm a junior in high school and I'm kinda scared to disappoint myself and ruin my chances. 😂 This university is truly lovely and hopefully I'll be able to achieve my expectations! I truly hope that you succeed in life, more than you already have, because you seem like a hardworking person who loves what they do! ❤️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Ana, this is such a sweet comment....THANK-YOU! Means so much 💛😍Work hard towards your goal, and I have no doubts you'll end up where you're supposed to!

[@ariellebarnard8628]

I have also been feeling super overwhelmed already. Luckily the stars have aligned and I don't have any studying/homework (exam week) and I wasn't scheduled for work so I get to go home this weekend! Loved the video and hope you have a great weekend, too 💕

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks, Arielle! I'm happy you're getting some time to breathe ...going home can make all the difference ! 👌

[@emmajoslin8642]

Hey Caitlin! I loved this video thank you so much for sharing it :) I am also a student in AUS and it takes me about an hour to get to University and usually have to stay there between classes, you are very lucky!! I completely understand the feeling of getting overwhelmed and the vicious cycle so you are not alone! Wishing you all the best with the semester xx

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Aww thanks, Emma! I feel like all of us students go through stages of being overwhelmed...a necessary evil of the student life, unfortunately :P Good luck with your classes 😊

[@brittanygoldfieldrodrigues4032]

Such an authentic, honest video

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Brittany!! How are you, chicky?! Thank-you so much....yes, balance is a constant struggle 😅 Those vent sessions are therapeutic 😂

[@jeywithane130]

i mean, i obviously always like your videos, but this video has really made me fall in deep deep like with you. it's just so genuine and precious and ah

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Awww, my night is made! Thank-you for the sweet comment !

[@karenaf5440]

Girl you’re not being bad for having a doughnut and stuff. Life just happens. Also I want your shirt! It’s so gorgeous 😍

[@aliciasanchez1415]

I thought it was very interesting to see your day. It's nice to know that someone else can have a busy day. Enjoy all your videos keep on making them I look forward to them every week.😀

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+aliciasanchez1415 Wahoo! So happy it was entertaining !! 😊

[@amitkatzri2981]

Love your vlogs and your other vids! They are so inspirational and motivating💜💙💚 It's so nice to see how you're doing as a university student😘

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Amit Katzri That's incredibly amazing to hear that! Thank-you for taking the time to leave a comment...means a lot ❤️

[@bellawu5195]

I love ur video, it gives me an idea about an university student’s daily life.Btw, ur work looks organized! Hope I can get into UT next year as well!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks !! Sending good luck vibes your way !

[@gracecho7304]

what were your marks from high school to get accepted into u of t??

[@alissa2222]

My brother got accepted for law and philosophy, and he had an average of 95 and no extra curricular activities

[@nickyt4391]

Pink Star that’s the thing that sucks about uoft. they only care about marks and nothing else. i feel like someone who can offer more than a good score should be considered higher

[@alissa2222]

Nicho Williams tbh I feel like that is what’s good about UofT it sucks to feel like you have to be in sports teams or clubs to be considered. I feel like marks truly should matter more..

[@iMagicProGaming]

I don’t know how, but I got in with an average of 74%. Now I’m in my second year here, I guess luck plays a part too

[@sarahtsujimoto9943]

I just got accepted for humanities w an average of 90% and extra curriculars but I don't think they look at those

[@apple_bottom_jeans]

I currently take 1 class in person and 2 classes online and on the days I don't have class in person, I wake up at about 7:30, shower and get ready and then I will do homework for a few hours before I go to work from 11-4. Then I normally go home and do more homework for a few hours and end the day with a relaxing bath or hanging out with my family or boyfriend. But it all depends on how much homework I have or if I work a double or not.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Breanna I love that you take time to end your day with some chill time, Breanna ! So important 👌

[@apple_bottom_jeans]

Caitlin's Corner yes it is! I hope your schedule gets a bit easier so you can have some much needed me time!

[@19apple96]

I love a good old vent session with my mother as well haha! Loved this video a lot! xx

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

They're the best ! 👌😍 Thanks, Sara!

[@keirahagan4448]

I live in Mississauga so I might go to the university of Toronto so this is helpful for me

[@jesslee635]

It was really interesting to see how u do your planner Monday, keep it up caitlin 🎉❤️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks, Jess !!

[@Pokemonrasta1998]

I love ❤️ her personality! And her educational videos has motivated me alot, since I’m about to go to college. Keep it up Caitlin!!!🧐🧐🧐🧐

[@sarrachadli1778]

I guess Chaos is a ladder ! The same if not worse, I try my hardest to stay organized but then there's chaos !

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Haha, there's always a little bit of chaos 😂

[@amalahmad1194]

I love your vids specially the school and collage vids . you have a good way of giving information keep it up 💗

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Amal Ahmad Aww thanks!! I'm happy to hear that!! 😍❤️

[@illnigma]

We drove from Hartford Connecticut in americal all the way to toronto university and shot a music video there. 1st time in Canada. We took over that BUILDING. #SwooopNation

[@larim.2274]

Heey Caitlin! I also enjoy and find it more practical to use loose leafs to write down some notes Don’t know if someone already said it, but i separate the notes in subjects and keep them in a binder at home, it helps a little on organizing my stuff Thanks for making these wonderful videos ♥️ you got me watching them nonstop hahahha Much love!

[@Amanda_the_Librarian]

I do some of the same things. I write my assignments on loose leaf paper instead of my notebook. No classes on campus, though, as I do online college. I am currently finishing up my college diploma in Library & Information Technician. Next fall, I hope to be attending Wilfrid Laurier University in Brantford, ON majoring in Criminology and then after that Western University in London, ON for Masters of Library and Information Science

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Amanda Jackson that's amazing Amanda !! Laurier and Western are great schools...best of luck with your last stretch for your diploma 😍😍

[@SliececeilS]

Don't know why but I LOVE seeing that desk no matter if is not organised ahahahahhahah am I weird?!

[@garciairmaful]

Omg 🇨🇦!! Can’t wait to go back 😆anyway...let me watch ur vid now.

[@brunnagenaro7953]

I loved! 😊 that's a true student life 😅

[@Legendofmudkip]

Loved this video. It was awesome to step back and realize that I'm not the only oh-goodness-stuff student out there xD

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Haha, no you're not alone!

[@xJacquelineBx]

yasss thank you so much for doing this!! :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks for watching, Jacqueline !

[@MidnightLibraryx]

i would definitely want to see more day in my life videos :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Yay! Happy to hear that!

[@AshBeauds]

Hey i go to uoft and am looking for a better building and yours looks so nice! What complex is it?

[@akikob2]

I love your student videos!! Especially the bullet journal ones because they helped me start mine:) I was wondering what app you used to edit your normal Insta photos? It looks like VSCO but I'm not sure.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thank-you !!! I use the adobe photoshop express app...it's amazingggg 👌

[@akikob2]

Caitlin's Corner Thank you:) I'll check it out!

[@dianshafirakhoirunnisa9903]

How can your day be so purrfect omg😭😣😥

[@Rachie2k13]

Ok so I'm starting college this time next year (hopefully) any advice? Is wearing a school bag weird or do most girls bring handbags? How does it differ from secondary school? (I'm from Ireland if that makes a difference)

[@heleddflower8082]

Rachie2k13 I finished my MSc in Scotland last year and we were a really international bunch ranging in age from early 20's-late 30's and more or less everyone used a backpack. Shoulder bags can damage your back if you need to carry stuff a lot

[@Sophiesmakeupbag]

You'll be fine! I've just finished my undergrad in London and have just started my MA. With regard to your bag, just be practical about it and make sure that it's comfortable! That's especially true if you're going to be reading a humanities subject as there will be SO. MANY. BOOKS. It differs from secondary school in many ways, the largest being that you are very much more in control of your success as a student than you are at school. It's cliché, but you get out of the experience what you put in, and tutors will take you more seriously if you show up and lean in. Good luck, and hope that you enjoy it!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Oh yay! Congrats! People, in my experience, bring a mix of bags and backpacks...I live close to campus so I'm usually not carrying anything too heavy, so I flip flop between the two :) But if you have to carry stuff for multiple classes on you, a backpack is definitely better for that !

[@faresburwag8841]

@Rachie2k13 Hey Rachie where will you be doing uni? (Assuming you finished your leaving cert) Just have a few questions regarding applying to unis

[@Millyliify]

wow! I'm jealous, normally I'm just not able to go home and do something productive between classes. Should try that :D

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

It's definitely convenient being able to do that! :)

[@Brianna-hc3tp]

i hope to go to university of toronto :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

😊😊😊 It's a great school !

[@introvertdreamer101]

Me too 😥😥😥😥

[@AleeshaSingh]

I go to the university of toronto for life sciences! I'm in my fourth year!

[@sarahliu3715]

Love your style❤️

[@renjcuts7356]

I loved this video! I think you are doing business that it’s the same thing that I want to do in the university of my dreams 😂 But since I’m a international student UoT is too expensive so it won’t be possible for me, but I am definitely going to Canada next year haha

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Ahhh man, the international prices are crazy! But yay, Canada is amazing 👌😍

[@maryann1603]

I live in the U.S. and I’m a Junior at High School. I was wondering what the Tuition out of state without the dorm is? Do they require SAT/ACT scores? What’s the acceptance rate? and do they have a nursing program?

[@minjibae9614]

I know this question is little wired and out of the topic, but which college are you in? I'm trying to apply u of t this year (hopefully I could get in) but there is still 7 or 8 choices of colleges that I need to make and I have no idea.. Oh, I really love these types of videos and hoping to see more!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Minji Bae Woodsworth! I mostly chose it because I preferred their residence over the other colleges...good luck with applications !!

[@EleonoraRamone91]

I really love your videos and in this one is like being there with you. What course of business are you enrolled? Sorry for my english, I'm italian :/ keep doing this kind of videos! Kisses from Italy

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Sending my love to Italy!! I'm in a management course concentrating on marketing :)

[@sokhnahalimadiallo4642]
