I glance out of my window looking up from my laptop to see dreary grey clouds. I marvel at the clouds for a second longer than most would before sighing and looking back at my laptop, 19:43. I saw the time and decided that I had done enough work for the day and shut my laptop standing up from my desk to start making my way out of the room. I walk to my mirror and look at myself quickly. My shoulder length brown hair was slightly greasy as i haven't been able to shower today due to my busy schedule, my forest green eyes had dark circles underneath them from the lack of sleep and my clothes looked slightly disheveled. I was wearing my football tracksuit bottoms and my oversized university jumper . I straightened my outfit out slightly to look more presentable before putting on my slides and leaving my room making my way towards the kitchen and communal area.

I look at the many doors that littered the corridor all numbered with different shades of colours. If i'm honest it really did look like I was in a psych ward, the walls were white and the floor was a navy blue colour and covered in all sorts. I open the door separating my end of the corridor from the other side and walk down hearing some quiet chatting. I walk further and gradually the voices got louder until I finally walked into sight of the communal area. I looked to the sofas to see a few of my flatmates sat, "Hey Jess!" Caleb said with a bright smile on his face. I smiled and walked over to the sofa and hugging him, then a chorus of hellos and how am i's came from the rest of the people there. I stood back up greeting everyone else there before turning to the TV, "What you guys watching?" I asked not recognising the show playing. Will spoke up, "We're watching the office." I hummed slightly in response before turning to the kitchen. I lived in university accommodation with my 23 other flat mates, we all got on very well but it was definitely crowded but I didn't mind too much it felt like home and we were all a little family really.

Once in the kitchen I see two other people, Lucas and harry, who were cooking their food, "Hey guys" I say as the door shuts behind me. They both turn a smile appearing on their faces as they see me, they both walk over pulling me over into a hug asking how I am. I reply with a 'not to bad' before they went back to their cooking while I go to my fridge pulling out some ingredients. Dam I really need to go shopping tomorrow I barely had anything. I walk to my cupboard and pull out some more things before heading over to the stove. I was gonna make some spaghetti Bolognese as I didn't have much else.

While cooking others came in to cook and we all had a conversation about our days, plans for the night and everything in between. After about 15 minutes I had finished making my food and sat at the kitchen table with Lucas, Harry, Will and Rebecca and started eating. Definitely could have used some more seasoning I thought as I took a few bites. Rebecca and Will were talking to me about an exhibition that they signed up for with Mark and that they needed another person as they needed a group of four. They looked at me with pleading eyes, "Do you want to join us?" Rebecca said. I giggled at both of their faces and let a small smile take over my features, "Yeah of course, when is it?" Will scratched the back of his head, "Um, well its tomorrow" Wills voice went quiet near the end of the sentence and I shook my head slightly in disapproval at how late they decided to leave it to ask me before giving them a nod agreeing. They filled me in on the details while I continued to eat before finishing up then going to wash my plate and utensils and heading back to my room saying bye to everyone on the way out.

Once back in my room I decided to plan my next day before i did anything else. I sat at my desk pushing my laptop to the side before grabbing my planner from my drawer and opening it. Okay what do I need to do? I thought to myself. I need to go to the shops for food, go to my two lectures at 9:00 and 10:00, finish up my assignment I started today, football training at 3 and finally go on the exhibition. I looked over the tasks I set dam I had a busy day plus I would need to take a nap for the exhibition as its at night so I definitely needed to try and get everything done quite fast. I decided to make a list of food that I would need to get on my phone before finally feeling satisfied with what I had done today and checking the time. 20:30 I yawned and decided to have a shower as I probably wouldn't have time tomorrow so I went to my bathroom and stripped before turning on the shower and getting in.

I let the warm water wash all over my face, I loved being in the shower it always brought comfort to me and just feeling clean always made me fell a lot better. After 15 minutes I finally got out of the shower, I wrapped myself in my towel and left my bathroom instantly feeling cold, colder than usual. The hair on the back of my head stood and goosebumps littered my body as I looked towards the window, it was open. I stared at it confused, I swear I never opened it I shook my head and shrugged must have done it without realising I mean I was on the third floor of our building and my door was locked so it must have been me. I walked over and shut the window holding my towel to make sure it doesn't fall, I look down to the ground below seeing nothing and close my curtains. I dry myself off and apply my face cream and moisturiser to my skin before changing into some sleepwear which was a pair of grey joggers and an oversized t-shirt. I grab my hairdryer and dry my hair as otherwise it would curl upwards and finally sit down on my bed exhausted.

I pick up my phone and look through my notifications when I notice something odd. It was a text message from an unknown number saying '1 day' I stare at it for a second really confused. "What?" I breathed out slightly. I felt uneasy but have no idea what it would mean so i just deleted the message and tried to distract myself. I ended up watching some Rick and Morty before finally looking at the clock, 23:11. I decided to go to sleep so I turned all the lights off and put my alarm on for 8:30 before finally putting my head on the pillow and basically passing out instantly from tiredness.
