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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
