A Day in the Life at the University of Texas at Austin

This is what a typical weekday at The University of Texas at Austin looked like for me as an undergrad. The truth is, though, every single day of college is not only different but what you choose to make of it. This was genuinely probably a bit more eventful than my average weekday, simply because I told myself I wanted it to be a good day. Yes, it was for the sake of making this vlog more entertaining and to show you more of UT/more of Austin, but even without a camera, you have the ability every single day to CHOOSE to make it a good day. So with that, I hope you enjoy!
As a side note, this video was filmed a full year ago in my second-to-last semester of college at UT. I have since graduated, and I officially walked the graduation stage just a week ago (you can check out the video of my doing pushups on the graduation stage on my channel). But yeah, even with this video having been filmed a full year ago, pretty much everything still holds true and hopefully you can see why my 4.5 years at UT Austin were the best 4.5 years of my life!

[@patricklyonsofficial]

Hey y'all hope you enjoy the new video! It's my first full university vlog, and it genuinely was really cool living the experiences that make up this video. I've since graduated from college (if you haven't seen my video doing pushups on the graduation stage be sure to check it out). Let me know in the comments what you thought! As always, I post content on my Instagram even more frequently (every single day of 2019). so if you aren't following me there be sure to follow me @patricklyons!

Dude, this actually really made me miss being at UT and being a student. As hard and grueling as it was a lot of the time, it was also a lot of fun. It's pretty nostalgic seeing that you filmed this a year ago, and probably for you, too, when you look back on it. And that godforsaken egg project haha. That I do not miss.

[@patricklyonsofficial]

Crazy BasketballTV hey dude, thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it! my advice is pursue absolutely everything you’re passionate about! yes to build the resume for college apps, but even moreso to discover your true passions and make the most of your time in school leading up to college! that will go a long way in showing UT you’re interested in a diverse array of things and that you have a unique skillset/personality to bring to the table!

Immense Presence hello! yes UT Austin is 100% academically challenging. i applies to ivy leagues and i genuinely thought i would end up at one. when i didn’t, i feared i wouldn’t have been challenged enough at UT, but i was totally proven wrong. UT was the hardest 4 years of my life academically. Austin is a thriving city and there’s soooo much to do no matter who you are or what you enjoy. i likes the people the most. not much i didn’t like honestly! taking tests was stressful i guess haha

[@patricklyonsofficial]

Zara Gasai hey dude best of luck with all the applications, computer programming and business are great fields to go into. i would say put a ton of effort into your essays to really tell the story of who you are. it goes a long way and can make or break your application. it’s a really fun place, but also a great balance or work and play

Since when has it been tradition to take graduation photos in Littlefield fountain? It certainly wasn't a tradition when I went to UT.

[@patricklyonsofficial]

definitely since i’ve been there for 4 years!

[@faithfulforever6331]

@@patricklyonsofficial Well I guess every generation has their own traditions started at the university. Interestingly enough when I was at UT in the mid 1970s, it was the age of the "scum dog." These were students' dogs that always wore bandannas and some even sat in class with their masters. When the weather warmed, these dogs would play frisbee with their masters on the grass quadrangle in back of Littlefield fountain while other people sunbathed at the same time. Are there still scum dogs on campus?

[@faithfulforever6331]

I guess people took photos after graduation next to Littlefield fountain in my day; but never IN the fountain. Though I do remember a couple of times that someone put soap in the fountain. I loved going to UT and what is amazing is when I get back to the campus, all of a sudden I am 20 years old again.

[@faithfulforever6331]

I am remembering the scum dogs because those dogs often "frolicked" in the water in Littlefield fountain. They loved it!

[@faithfulforever6331]

Also in my day, Waller Creek was very, very heavily wooded. Because it was so easy to be in that heavy brush without being seen, students from Jester dormitory used to go there to smoke marijuana unseen. It was affectionately called "Jester Jungle." That is the main reason why today Waller Creek is no longer so heavily wooded!
