I'm The Girl Who'll Never See Eye-To-Bleary-Eye With Mornings OR Morning People

Mornings suck... or do I suck at mornings? But, lets be honest, no one likes the sound of their alarm in the morning.

7:10 a.m... BEEP BEEP BEEP... my alarm goes off for my 7:30 a.m. shift.

*Hits snooze*

7:15 a.m... BEEP BEEP BEEP... my alarm goes off again. In my head "It takes me about 10 minutes to drive to work, so I guess that it means it is time to drag myself out of bed."

I know this is not just because my customers will not walk through the door with a smile and happy comments unless they have had at least two cups of coffee.

So, why do we do this to ourselves?

I mean yeah, there are some people who are exceptions and actually like and thrive in the morning but most people my age have a rough time in the morning. They even tell you going into college, "Don't schedule an 8 a.m. because you will never go." Sometimes it is even hard for me to get out of bed for an 11 a.m.

On a normal day:

When 7:30 a.m. hits, I look at the clock and realize I still have a few hours left and curl up in my blanket for some more pillow time.

At 9:00 a.m. my internal alarm goes off; as much as I hate that my body won't let me sleep anymore, it is better than that obnoxious beeping sound that I dread.

Then, at 9:30 a.m. I have had at least one cup of coffee, two if I am on my A-game.

Finally, at 11:00 a.m. I am fully functioning but still, on some days you might catch me with a sour look on my face because I still do not want to be up.

Is this all just me? Or is it the majority of people... the world may never know. All I know is that morning sucks and I have no idea why they are even a thing.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
