10 Signs Morning Classes Aren't For You

Is it Friday yet? Pls help.

Oct 06, 2015

We all say to ourselves once registration rolls around, "Oh, an 8:30 a.m.? No problem." That is until the first day of classes begin ...

1. Setting at least 6 alarms in order for you to wake up for said class ...

2. ... And hitting snooze for every single one of them.

Until you realize that there is a 10 minute walk ahead of you and jump out of bed.

3. "Five more minutes" turns into 30 minutes and running out the door.

Who needs makeup and hair products when extra sleep is involved?

4. Rolling out of bed with yoga pants, a sweatshirt, baseball cap, and moccasins calling your name.

Quick, comfy, and an extra side of basic.

5. You regret staying up until 1 a.m. watching cat videos.

No matter how cute they were, they get you every time, and you clearly lost out on your beauty z's (see #4).

6. You walk into class and share the expressions of your fellow classmates.

Not a single look of judgement because you all know none of you want to be there.

7. Forget about your morning coffee or breakfast.

"Do I go hungry and be on time? Or grab that PSL and bagel and walk in 20 minutes late?"

8. On second thought, you order the most caffeinated beverage that is available on campus.

Maybe this will help me not pass out in class ...

9. When your professor calls on you and you cannot think of a single thing to say because you're dreaming about your nap later on.

2+2=Fish?

10. You cannot wait until your professor lets you go, just so you can run back to your dorm to take a much needed nap.

That is, unless you're stuck with an awful schedule and don't get a break until 8 p.m.

No matter how many times you say you will never take another class before noon again, you somehow end up registered for them every semester. However, the means justify the end, and regardless, you should be grateful you are getting a higher education, no matter the time!

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.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
