11 Problems With Mornings

As told by a night owl.

11 Problems With Mornings
Fastcompany.com

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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
