Alarm Clocks To Get Your Butt Out Of Bed

We're coming up on the 11th week of the fall semester, so if you're like me, mornings are getting harder and harder to handle, and you either have six alarms set or hit the snooze button more times than you care to admit.

So what are college students to do to get us out of our warm, comfortable bed? Lucky for you, I've found 10 amazingly awesome alarm clocks that are sure to make your mornings a little more enjoyable and will definitely get your butt out of bed!

1. Hit-It Alarm Clock

This clock is designed so that when the alarm goes off, you turn it off by hitting the clock. That's a stress-reliever if I've ever heard of one!


2. Stand Up

The alarm clock is in a mat that you put by your bed, and the only way you can turn it off is if you stand up on the mat! #genius

3. Clocky—an alarm clock on wheels

This alarm is perfect for those people who are only capable of moving their arms in the morning, and that's to snooze their alarm. Put this alarm on your nightstand or next to your bed and when it goes off, it'll automatically roll itself away from you, so you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off.

4. Wake Up and Work Out!

Have you ever read those articles that tell you that it's good for your body to wake up to a workout or yoga, just to ease your body into the day? Yeah, I have too, but I could never drag myself out of bed early enough to care...until now! This alarm clock is the classic two-bird, one-stone scenario. It's a workout and an alarm clock all in one! The way it works is that it won't shut off until you do 30 reps of this 1.5 weight. And it has a built-in sensor inside so you can't cheat!


5. Puzzle Alarm Clock

Arts and crafts are a good way to relax and unwind, but this alarm clock uses puzzle pieces in a way you've never thought of before. When your alarm clock goes off, the puzzle pieces will eject themselves from the clock and scatter around your room. The only way the alarm clock will turn off is if you retrieve all of the pieces and put the puzzle back together! Pretty creative, no?

6. Rocket Launcher

If you're into space, NASA, or anything otherworldly, then I have the perfect alarm clock for you. This clock will initiate a countdown when it is time for you to get up and when the countdown is over, it'll shoot the rocket into the air. The only way you can turn off the alarm is by recovering the rocket and putting it back on the launch pad.

7. Laser Target Alarm Clock

This alarm clock is for the people who are really into hunting, "The Walking Dead," or any kind of target practice. When your alarm goes off, you have to point the laser gun at the target and hit a bulls eye to turn it off. If you want to mix it up and keep you on your toes (which I highly recommend, because we know how rough mornings can be), move the target around your room for an extra challenge!

8. Banpresto DangerBomb Alarm Clock

Get ready to diffuse a bomb first thing in the morning! Talk about a wake-up call. When your alarm goes off, you have to disconnect one of the wires, whose color is indicated by the lights on the side. If you disconnect the wrong wire, your alarm will keep going off!

9. Sonic Bomb with a Super Shaker

This alarm clock is equipped with a 113-decibel alarm, that's equivalent to a jackhammer, along with red, flashing lights! And if that doesn't wake you up, then the Super Shaker, which you put under your mattress and shakes the crap out of your bed, will be sure to give you the full effect.

10. SnuznLuz

If the other alarm clocks aren't motivating or creative enough to get you to leave your favorite place, then this clock should do the trick. This alarm clock hooks up with your Wi-Fi and links with your bank account, so every time you hit snooze, it automatically donates money to an organization that you despise. Pretty clever, huh? This alarm clock, in particular, should do the trick for the mid-semester sleep rut!


With all of these choices, there should be no reason why you're still sleeping past your alarms and continuously hitting the snooze button! We're almost done with this semester, so hang in there, Zips!

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.

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.
