#NationalPiDay: A Day in the Life of a Math Major
Happy #NationalPiDay everybody! Today, we’re featuring Noah Islam, who is currently a first-year undergraduate student at Stanford University.
Noah will walk us through a typical day-in-the-life of a prospective math major.
6:30 Wake up and get ready for my day.
7:00 Head to the gym for an early morning workout.
8:30 Grab breakfast at Stern Dining – hands-down has the best tater tots on campus!
9:45-10:45 My first class of the day is Math 51. This course covers linear algebra and multivariable calculus.
11:00-12:00 Headed to my next class: Psych 1.
12:30 Eat lunch at Arrillaga Dining with friends.
1:30-2:30 Go to CS106A, my last class of the day. This intro computer science class teaches Python code.

4:00-6:00 Time to knock out some homework!
6:00 Dinner at Stern with some friends.
7:00-9:30 Time for rehearsal. I play the tuba for the Stanford Symphony Orchestra. Make sure to complete my rapid test before rehearsal.
10:00-12:00 Do some light work for the night, spend time in the lounge with friends, and play a couple games of ping pong.
12:00 Time for bed.
