Some days, getting to class is tough. Whether it's a lack of sleep, a lack of motivation, or Mother Nature herself, you have to find a way to get to class. Those who do, well, this one is for the ones that do.
Here's to you, people who go to class in their pajamas.
Watch out. These kids in PJ's who look sloppy and like they actually just rolled out of beds are innovators. They didn't have to wake up earlier to get ready for class. That's time management at it's finest.
Here's to you, two guys on a moped.
Maintaining your dignity while resting your head on your buddy's shoulder while going about 15 down the main strip of campus is no easy task. Way to commit to not only your attendance record, but the environment. #carpooling
Here's to you, person falling asleep in class.
You may be struggling to keep your eyes open, but in the words of Woody Allen, "80% of life is just showing up." You did it. You're here. If the test was graded on showing up alone, that's a solid B-.
Here's to you, person who brought food to class.
Once again, innovation at its finest. I may throw mean glances your way because the scent of your breakfast burrito has overpowered the classroom, but it's only because I'm hungry and I really wish you'd share.
Here's to you, anyone who shows up when school should've been cancelled on account of ice.
Below 32 degrees may stop water in its tracks, but it doesn't stop you. You came prepared in about 17 layers of jackets.
Here's to you, person who hasn't slept in about 36 hours.
You're close to having a nervous breakdown from an overdose of coffee and a shortage of REM, but you still showed up. You're functioning. Barely, but you're functioning.
Here's to you, person who goes to class despite flash flood warnings.
Flash floods don't faze you. Puddles? Child's play. An umbrella, raincoat, and rainboots is your uniform. You don't care that you might be soaking wet, you're going to sit in class and learn.
Here's to you, person who obviously needs to go to the doctor/urgent care.
You're coughing. Sneezing. Tissues everywhere. You probably have a fever. But you're in class. Talking to people, touching door handles.. actually no. Maybe you shouldn't be in class. Don't go to class if you're sick.
and lastly, to the real heroes, here's to you, 8 am class-goers.
Because you've most likely been a combination of all of the above. You have to get up at least 2 days a week for a whole semester and be awake and present for your 8 am class. You are the strongest person I know. I envy your dedication and sheer will power. Go ahead, take a nap. You earned it.
