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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
