A pleasing rooster’s song reverberated in the form of an alarm clock that suggested that the young man get up from his spongy, soothing bed. It’s a wise thing to keep several roosters around your house for this purpose. As much as he wants to get up, a strong energy of procrastination pulls him in and tells him to extend his sleep for a few more minutes. He knew within himself that if he followed the inner voice within, it could lead to a shorter time of preparation to go to university.
Early breakfast wasn’t his preference at all. He ended up having a bad stomach when he reached university. The freezing water running from the shower drenched him in unbearable coldness. But he enjoys it more than he despises it. The sun will rise, and he must leave before 6 in the morning since the never-ending traffic in his city affected and increased his travel time. The 30-minute ride will turn into an hour, which is completely absurd. He had always planned to walk rather than ride a tricycle to save money.
There were two terminuses from his university, but he preferred it better to stop in front of the hospital. It was in front of the second gate, where he had to walk at least 300 meters. A refreshing, cool breeze gusting on his skin makes him shiver involuntarily. He had noticed several students, like himself, plugging in their own earphones to listen to their favorite music. A familiar scent caught his nose, and he didn’t expect a young man wearing khaki-fitted pants and a tucked-in polo shirt to grab his left arm.
"Good morning! I messaged you to wait for me at the bus stop."
"Did you? Sorry, but I didn’t open my messenger, so I don’t have any idea."
"It’s okay. Have you finished our database activity?"
Karl was a bubbly, eager friend of his who showed great interest in the field of database systems. He had a great future ahead, and he knew that after graduation, his friend would accomplish great achievements. They continued to walk, headed to the school's university canteen, and bought a one-piece chicken sandwich. Regular events happened like programming activities, eating lunch at their favorite cafeteria just outside their university, and going home after the last class ended.
A day wouldn’t be complete without reading several manga and manhwa books from the Tachiyomi app, which he downloaded several years ago. Never did he miss reading every update from his series. After he changed clothes, he would go to the back of their home to check on and feed his dearest rabbits. Although they are unable to communicate, he is aware of how much his rabbits love him too.
"Oh my! Have you little ones missed me? Alright, time to eat and have a feast!"
He noticed his black buck wasn’t eating anything. It remained motionless as if something were dragging his feet. Then he realized that one of its legs was stuck in the previous hole he had seen the day before. "Oh dear, I’m sorry!" he grumbled. After he fixed the hole, he headed back to his room to complete the activities given by his professors a while ago. Debugging activity is some sort of headache since you have to figure out where and how it affected the output. He stretched his two arms wide, released a loud yawn, and felt a sudden vibration from his body.
An hour had passed when his mother called him for dinner. His family will not eat unless all of them in the house gather together, so he must hurry up to go down before a savage beast goes up to drag him to the table. It was silent; the news running from the television was the only noise you could hear, which was typical for him. His father declared a long time ago that you shouldn’t talk while eating unless you have something important to say.
He opened his social media to check whether there were any new announcements or events that would happen the next morning. His hive account must be checked; he read a few blogs, left a comment, and upvoted the rest. It was around 10 p.m. when he laid down from his bed and set an alarm for 5 a.m. He played his own Spotify music playlist one meter away from him, and without him knowing, his consciousness was knocked down. Then a new day bloomed for him to enjoy once more.
