The 5 Things To "Get" When You Wake Up Early
Audrey Silvestro

Believe me when I say this. I, like the rest of my generation, am no early riser. I try to be, honestly. I try so hard, but there is just something so tantalizing about snoozing your alarm and slamming your face back into the pillow and drifting off into the dream scape for the fifth time. As of recent, I think I have made a ground breaking discovery on how to handle it. I am here to give you some insider tips on how to conquer the wee am hours.

1.Get your feet on the ground.

Honestly, what I have come to notice with waking up early is that it's about getting the lower portion of your body out of bed and onto the floor. And no, I don't mean just slide off the bed and continue your 8-hour power nap on the hard wood floors. I mean sit up and get those feet firmly planted on the dang ground.

2. Get that dang coffee.

If you don't like coffee then you can always settle for a nice, hot cup of caffeinated tea. Or go all in and just put Red-bull in your coffee pot. Hahaha, just kidding please don't do that... oh, my!

3. Get a good book or funny video ready.

I always like to start my days off with some of my favorite You-Tubers. A lot of my morning routine include: wake up, coffee, Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart and Mamrie Hart, with the occasional side of James Corden. If reading is more your style then hey, not a problem. Grab your favorite book, a hot or cold glass of whatever you love and enjoy.

4. Get a look at that view.

It's no secret that the sunrise is beautiful. I mean come on, if you don't like the sunrise you're either lying or a vampire. Or both. Who knows.

5. Get grateful.

My friend, you just woke up. You just got to live another day. And it's still early! Get out there and enjoy life, be grateful for what you have and those around you.

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.
