How Being a Morning Person Ruined My Life

Oh whoa whoa, that's a rather extreme statement, huh?. But yes, being a happy noncaffeinated morning person has destroyed my life. Why? because of people like YOU who HATE mornings and life, and love coffee.

I don't do coffee. I don't, and I understand that is very hard to comprehend for some people but I really dislike the bitter taste of coffee. Sorry, does this revoke my hipster membership card? I have never been into drinking this so-called liquid gold beverage not even if it comes from the Himalayas or from Colombia, or form some eclectic backyard in Austin. I wake up, I drink water and boom! I am awake! No need for coffee to "feel awake". No grumpiness and "Don't talk to me until my cup of coffee" scenarios. Your memes don't resonate, they don't make sense to me and quite frankly make me wanna start a new "F caffeine dependency movement"

I guess this makes me a morning person. I love everything about the mornings. The soft and gentle sunlight, the dew on the grass, the expectation! The possibility of making a brand new day filled with new things to learn and do! I am full of energy in the mornings and ready to tackle the world.

Why do we lose that feeling when we become adults?

Oh, I HATE Mondays! (you say) The internet is filled with memes and grumpy cry baby grownups every single Monday morning.

Why do you all hate Mondays'? I love Mondays and you know what? that is OK, don't be a hater, don't hate me for loving Mondays'. Don't you point at me with your cup of Starbucks pumpkin spice latte and judge my lack of love for coffee. Chillax.

Monday mornings represent the start of a new week, and it means I can forget about all the screw-ups from the past - as in last week, yes that's in the past! - unless it has to do with my husband. Sorry honey, I remember what you did in 2005! What? I am a woman we remember everything you did wrong always and forever, it's just the way it is.

So I am a morning person and I enjoy mornings, and I do it without a single drop of coffee. Yes, I am bragging! But it's ok if you are not a morning person too and if you need coffee and I don't, it's fine. That is the beauty of humankind. We are all different and unique in our own way. SMILE! It's Monday!

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
