Why 8 AMs Are The Worst
The Acronym

College is an exciting time where we make new friends, live on our own, and slowly transition into adulthood. There are so many different pros and cons when it comes to college, however there is one con that every college student can agree on...8 AM classes. These are the worst of the worsts when it comes to anything with college. Before considering taking an early morning class, I'll be giving you a little heads up of what you are getting yourself into.

Having an 8 AM class means waking up before the sun even rises. You may think you can handle it since you did it for 13+ years, but trust me, you can't. There's something about college that makes it impossible to wake up early without being partially dead all day. You especially regret taking such an early class every time your alarm goes off at 7 AM. You have no desire to get ready for a class where you hope you aren't the one who falls asleep today. It is a terrible feeling quietly getting ready for class while your roommate gets to sleep a few more hours. It kind of makes you hate them.

Getting ready for a class that early is bad enough, but not as bad as the class itself. No matter how much you love the subject, taking it at 8 AM will make you hate it more than anything. There is nothing enjoyable about sitting in a classroom early in the morning with 20 other people that also hate their lives at the moment. You would be surprised at how many dirty looks you can get at eight in the morning. You'd also be surprised at how many dirty looks you can give without even realizing it. You are in a different state of mind during the class, you are not yourself. You are a grouchy, slightly less attractive version of yourself.

When you are up that early, it feels like time stands still. A simple 8:00 to 8:50 class feels like it takes days. You are constantly checking the clock to see when you will be free, but the more you check, the slower time becomes. It's like a never ending nightmare. It literally feels like the class will never end. You daydream about the times(an hour ago) when you were free to do whatever you felt.

When you finally get out of the terrible, never-ending, place, you feel free. You tell yourself you will never go back again, you say you will drop it so you can get your beauty sleep, but it never happens. The next day you wake up at the same time, go through the same routine, and hate your life just as much.

So if you can help it, never take an 8 AM class. You will regret every minute of it.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
