The Struggles of Having Morning Classes

You look like a mess.

The Struggles of Having Morning Classes

Why morning classes even exist is beyond me. They really shouldn't be a thing but some people can handle morning classes and sometimes it's the move when you get out early too. However, the night before when you have to stay up late or the annoying sound of your blaring alarm at 6 a.m. makes getting up in the mornings a real struggle. Here are eight of the most frustrating morning class struggles we all experience:

1. You have to go to sleep earlier

Rather than going to sleep at 3 a.m. like you normally would, you have to go to sleep at midnight so you have enough hours of sleep to function in the morning. You miss out on funny moments between your other roommates or awesome junk TV that's on super early. The struggle.

2. You have to rely on coffee way too much

You can't make it through a morning without a pick-me-up and sadly you have no energy in your body even after a solid amount of sleep, so you have to drink way too much coffee that supports your already too high coffee addiction.

3. Everybody else is sleeping

Usually, if you have a morning class, your friends do not. Which means you have to try not to wake up your roommates and you have nobody to talk to in the morning. It gets lonely and boring and you wish you were sleeping.

4. You look like a disaster

Because you have to wake up so early but you want to sleep in to the latest point that you can so you give up doing your makeup and hair for sleep. When you get to class, you seek comfort in seeing other students in their sweats and glasses and take a nice sigh of relief.

5. You're always hungry

You choose to sleep in late enough that you don't really have time to eat breakfast so your stomach is grumbling all through class and it's super obnoxious and embarrassing.

6. Sometimes you sleep through your alarm

Yeah, sometimes you don't even make it to class because your snooze button is more important and you just sleep right through your class.

7. You fall asleep in your other classes

You have to make up for that lost sleep somehow and, sadly, it is by sleeping in your other classes.

8. You have to do it all again

Unfortunately, morning classes are not just a one time thing. If you have one, you have several through out the week every week and this process repeats itself indefinitely until the end of the semester.

Maybe next semester I'll try harder to get later classes. There are just too many struggles to do this all again next semester. Sorry, professor, I can't make it in today, I'm too busy sleeping away my grades.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
