    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    One daily routine that I quite enjoy is having a cup of coffee every day in the morning. I usually get up around 9-9.30 in the morning. As soon as I wake up, I brush my teeth and wash my face and try to meditate and relax myself before I could start on with the day. Once I finish these activities, I make myself or my mom prepares a cup of coffee for me which is a daily essential. I enjoy having this cup of coffee in the balcony of my room which overlooks lots of trees and grass which early in the morning creates a wonderful environment and helps me relax and unwind and focus better to start the day and concentrate in a much better way. This is one daily routine which I like to enjoy in the morning. Apart from that, I have a night routine as well where after finishing my work, I like to do my bed properly and try to and do my skincare routine where I apply, where I wash my face and apply a niacinamide serum along with a vitamin C face cream and a lip gloss to hydrate my lips. I comb my hair and go to sleep.

    The daily routine that I enjoy is spending time with my friends. Because these friends are the expensive part of our life which calculates every fun activity, every adventure into thousands and many more times. We create memories like any other people who doesn't match the level of fun, adventure and many things. I love spending time with my friends as they are like a stress reliever and many of them are like family to me. As well as I spend my friends time in college where we talk on many topics like with whom, with whom, why. We need every specific reason why you did that, why you did that, why you didn't did that and everything. We enjoy this very much because this is the part where we have our work.

    Firstly, I am an early riser, so my routine starts in the morning at 6 am and I usually woke up around 6 am and after that I brush my teeth, I do some kind of yoga and meditation and sometimes I go for a long walk or running. So after doing all these things, I usually focus on my studies. I started studying from 8 pm to 11 pm. I study whatever it is given. If there is a holiday, my routine would be like that. If there is a weekday, then my routine is different. Moreover, after that, I had my lunch and then took nap for one hour so that I can feel refreshed all the day. After taking nap and having lunch, I start studying again and then I study till the evening. In evening, I do my evening puja and after my evening puja, I tend to study again. So my routine is pretty much boring and the same. I had to study because I am preparing for IELTS examinations as well. So I had to study. I study for my college and IELTS examinations both. After that, I go to bed for around 10 pm.

    To be honest, I am not a person who follow daily routine. Also I don't have a fixed daily routine to follow, but I by myself I manage my time to do work on the time. I usually get up of the bed at 6 o'clock in the morning nowadays as compared to the past time. On the past time I wake up at 5am in the morning because I had to go to the college to attend my class. But nowadays I am free because I am recently graduated, that's why I am free. So I wake up late in the morning at 6 o'clock, sometimes 7 o'clock also. Then I go to do some exercise. Then after that after 1 or 2 hours I eat my breakfast. Then I sit on my study room to prepare for my English proficiency test. After that in the 11am I get my lunch and the remaining days, hours I spend mostly my time in learning new skills related to my field. I spend my time learning new program and whenever I get some extra time I spend it on my hobbies just like playing games, watching movies. For me all activities that helps me to relieve from my tension and mood swings is the time when I finally get time to listen music.
