Preview of #LivingLikeLarryJRN200

Larry Stec is majoring in food science at Michigan State University and loves relaxing before classes. Since Stec is a 4.0 student, he does not have to study as much as other students. With this being said, Stec has a lot of time to kick back and chill out in his dorm in East Shaw Hall.

Stec has a laid back attitude and goes with the flow. His morning routine rarely switches up, but when it does, he just goes with it.


Most college students do not have a lot of time to relax, so when they have the opportunity, most take advantage of it.

Recap of #LivingLikeLarryJRN200


Larry Stec has an interesting life. Monday through Thursday, Stec hops out of bed and begins his day. Like most Michigan State students, Stec has classes to attend throughout the day. However, Monday through Thursday, his earliest class is at 12:40 P.M., so this allows him to relax. While relaxing, Stec usually does an assortment of things. He watches TV, messes around on his laptop, and checks to see if he has any homework due. After doing this, Stec gets dressed and goes to grab a bite to eat. Stec’s usual meal is cereal, but he also gets a sandwich on occasions.
