We all dread it, waking up early to go work out before class. College students cherish the little sleep we get, and waking up early to go to the gym sometimes feels like the worst decision you can make at the time. However, we all get through it.

1. The night before you feel super motivated and ready to work your butt off. You pick out a super cute workout outfit and matching gym shoes just in case you see a hottie there.

2. As you climb into bed, you set an alarm (or five) like an adult to make sure you’re up and ready.

3. Suddenly in the middle of the best dream of your life you hear it. The dreaded iPhone alarm.

4. For some reason it is still dark outside, and you crawl under your blankets to block out the annoying alarm.

5. You try to think of a good reason why you should skip your workout today, but you unwillingly drag yourself out of bed.

6. The cute workout outfit and gym shoes are staring at you.

7. You stare back at them.

8. Your bladder chimes in and you decide to postpone getting dressed or committing to anything.

9. As you start squeezing into your yoga pants you realize how amazing your bed would feel right now.

10. Out the door you go, there’s no looking back now. But once you get your blood pumping a little bit, those feel-good endorphins start to kick in.

11. Then your favorite song comes on, and you are really feeling it.

12. After your work out you jump into the shower like it is the greatest thing on the planet.

13. Then it is time for your post-workout snack.

14. You go on with the rest of your day feeling like a champ.
