11 Problems With Mornings

As told by a night owl.

Mornings. They have your warm coffee, pancakes and don't forget the beautiful sunrise. The morning may seem like a wonderful part of the day to some people, unless of course you are a night owl. Being a night owl makes morning time a special kind of awful. Morning doesn't even have to be before the sun fully rises. I could wake up at 3 p.m. and still hate mornings. It's a part of life. Morning people will go to bed at 9 p.m. and love the morning. A night owl could go to bed and still be a grump when they wake up. So from all the night owls to all of the early birds, enjoy the morning because here's the list of reasons why we don't:

1. The alarm clock is the worst sound you've ever heard.

Five more minutes! Please! For the sake of all that is holy, let me sleep! Stop your ungodly noise. I just need sleep!

2. Falling back to sleep and the alarm clock going off again.

If we are totally honest, the second time is worse than first. We loathe ourselves for the misery that we have brought upon ourselves by giving us just those five more minutes.


3.The bed is so warm.

I am never leaving this bed. Ever. Try to make me. I dare you.


4. Light is too bright.

It may not actually be that dramatic. It really does feel like your eyes are melting, though. When someone flips on the lights, it is like death and pain have come for you in a handbasket.


5. Actually getting up.

No. No, you are not. You are not ready for the cold or to face the day. You drag yourself out of bed to face the day anyway. Sorry Jon Snow, the only thing we are ready to do is, cry.


6. Walking is hard because you aren't actually awake.

I am in serious need of one of those guide hoops because the number of walls, counter edges and doors I have bumped into in the morning is not okay. I don't think it would solve the problem of the stairs attacking me, though.


7. Your eyes don't work.

I'm awake, I swear, but I'm having a little trouble opening my eyes. They don't want to. When I try everything is just a blur. It's a blur until at least my third cup of coffee.


8. You waste a ton of water trying to wake up.

A warm shower can be just as awesome as a warm bed. But I often find after I get out I didn't get all the shampoo out of my hair. Or I forgot to shave a whole leg. Or I used conditioner instead of lotion. So much for waking up.


9. You miss your mouth trying to eat.

Like Ron, we tend to get more food on our face than in our mouth. It's a side effect of not being able to open your eyes.


10. Words aren't real before 10 a.m.

Are you talking to me? I don't understand what you just said. Please don't let that be a question because I can't think of an answer.


11. Morning people.

Come at me with your sunshine and rainbows and I will kill you.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
