The worst words you can hear your college adviser say to you are: "This class is only offered at 8 a.m."
If anybody can explain the pains of an 8 a.m. lecture, it would be Michael Scott.

1." Accepting the 8 a.m."
After hearing the words 8 a.m. come out of your adviser's mouth, you slowly accept the fact it is happening. You start thinking positive of how it will be okay, you will get through this. Then the days start getting closer to when classes resume and your positivism has decreased. The morning has come and it is time to accept your worst fear: Your 8 a.m. has come.
2. "Getting up early."
The majority of the time the alarm is set early so you can get up to shower, dress cute, leave early enough to grab a cup of coffee from the Union, and still arrive to class on time. Plus the only perk from an 8 a.m. is there is plenty of parking close to your building that you are going to.
3. "The reality of the 8 a.m."
The alarm goes off for class and you realize that if you hit the snooze for just five more minutes you can still shower, dress cute, and grab that coffee.
4. "The snooze button is dead at this point."
The snooze button has been hit probably about three to five times at this point. Your plan has gone from showering, dressing cute, and grabbing coffee to just showering and grabbing coffee.
5. "Plans have changed."
You have a down-to-the-minute plan that you can lay in bed for another 10 minutes and you can use dry shampoo before still grabbing coffee in the Union.
6. "Down to the minutes."
Laying in bed is worth more at this point for another 15 minutes rather than grabbing that cup of caffeine to stay awake in that terrible macroeconomics lecture.
7. "Reality hits you in the face."
Sleeping for another two minutes is definitely worth it. But on the down side, you will probably have to run to class and hope to beat the professor.
8. "The worst is yet to happen."
After just throwing a hat on and sweats, can't even find a parking spot, and your cardio session starts bright and early to class. Literally as you are running to class, you have a minute before your lecture starts and the door is closed.
9. Perks of no parking spots
The professor comes in late and apologizes to the class that there was no parking. She had to park at another building's parking lot and it won't happen again. The best part was you still got those extra minutes of sleep and class will last 10 minutes less from that hour and 15-minute lecture.
8 a.m.'s are probably the worst idea a college could have ever invented. But thank goodness for dry shampoo, ball caps, caffeine, and sweats because you will need this to survive your 8 a.m.
Good luck!!!
