12 Reasons Morning Classes Are Better Than Afternoon And Night Classes

Summer is coming to an end and the academic year is about to begin. Some college students chose to have an 8 am or two, while others are dreading the notion of having to get up before lunchtime. I chose to have an 8 am because of these 12 reasons:

1. There's less traffic on campus

Giphy

When arriving for your 8 am, you won't have wait for the entire mass of humanity to get through the crosswalk!

2. You *finally* get to park in the closest commuter lot

Giphy

You now have access to the *perfect* parking lot! No more parking in Timbuktu! (Except on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but that's not the point here.)

3. There are no lines at Starbucks or Dunkin

Giphy

You can get your Strawberry Lemonade Refresher and cheese danish in record time!

4. You're done with classes early

Giphy

Now that you're up, you have the rest of your day to be productive! (Or finish that series on Netflix!)

5. You'll do better in the class

Giphy

This study says so!

6. Afternoon nap time

Giphy

You can nap worry-free because you have no classes to accidentally sleep through!

7. Your schedule is free for campus clubs and activities

Giphy

Almost all activities happen in the late afternoon and evening.

(Side note: I missed watching a BIG campus protest because I was in class.)

8. More time to spend with your friends

Giphy

Nothing is worse than sitting at dinner with your friends making plans that you can't go to because you have a 6:30 pm - 9 pm class.

9. You'll have more time to do everything else in life

Giphy

Who knew how much you could get done if you got up before noon!?

10. You can get a job

Giphy

It helps buy more coffee! Oh, and tuition too!

11. Time management

Giphy

A necessary adulting skill!

12. Morning classes prepare you for the real world

Giphy

Someday, we'll all have jobs and will most likely have to get up everyday before 8 am.

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.
