    Day in the Life of an Athlete

    Meet Brayden, a freshman Elementary Education major at the University of Jamestown. His day starts at 8:00 AM with a quick granola bar—and a firm stance that waffles beat pancakes every time. His morning begins in Christian Beliefs, a class he loves for its fresh daily insights, followed by a productive hour of studying in the library.

    Lunch is a social highlight, where he meets friends daily to refuel (and grab his favorite oatmeal raisin cookies). Afterward, he takes his favorite walk on campus to the Legacy Center for his Instructional Media Technology class. Once his academic requirements are wrapped up, he shifts gears with a workout at the Foss Wellness Center.

    Brayden winds down his evening back at the library to finish his assignments, though he always makes time for campus life. Whether it’s an ice cream social for Homecoming or other student-led activities, he thrives on the community atmosphere. For this freshman, a day as a Jimmy is full of balance, good food, and a growing excitement for the years ahead.

    Hi, my name is Brayden and I'm an elementary ed major here at the University of Jamestown. Want to see what a typical day is like for your average student here? Come with me and I'll show you mine. Okay, this is really important: pancakes or waffles? I have to go waffles. Yeah, they're way better.

    I normally wake up at about eight. I take my time getting ready and enjoy a granola bar for breakfast before heading to my first class, Christian Beliefs. I really like this class because the professor brings something new every single day. I get an hour break; I normally spend this time in the library working on my assignment. Done studying!

    After this, it's time for lunch. My friends and I all eat together every single day, and I love the oatmeal raisin cookies. After lunch, I start heading down to the Legacy Center for Instructional Media Technology. The walk may seem daunting, but it's my favorite part of the day. After classes are all done, I head to the Foss for a workout.

    To end my day, I like spending time in the library getting all of my work done. This week is homecoming, though, and SET put on an awesome ice cream social in the Lyngstad. I love all the activities that they do on campus. And that's it. Thank you so much for spending a day here with me as a freshman on campus and honestly, I can only expect it to get better from here.
