Things Only Early Risers Understand

There is more to being an early riser than just getting up at five in the morning.

Being an early riser is a unique lifestyle that most people don't understand.With the majority not being morning people, me being an early bird is so refreshing. As someone who wakes up at 5 people point fingers saying I am crazy.

You get to enjoy the beautiful colorful sunrise

Being an early riser you get the perk of looking out your window and seeing the view of the sunrise which is usually the most beautiful time of day.

Coffee is just the icing on the cake

When you think of coffee, you think of it as something people who are forced to wake up at early hours and need the caffeine to get going in the morning. For early risers, coffee is like your first dessert of the day.

You wake up naturally without an alarm

Early risers enjoy waking up early and starting the day fresh. The alarm clock is just a tool for people who aren't early risers. But some of us may still keep an alarm just in case you may be worried you may oversleep to something.

Being an early riser can drive your partner crazy

Ok, let's talk about relationships for a minute. Let's say you have a boyfriend. He is the opposite to you and wakes up late. Getting out of bed first thing naturally can drive your partner crazy as he may be awaken of you getting out of bed.

If meditation is your hobby, the sunrise is the best time to do it.

Let's face this. If you are an early riser and love meditation such as yoga, it's the best thing in life as you can do it in front of the sunrise.

You can easily check your email and social media without any drowsiness.

We all love checking our phones first thing but many people struggle focusing when they check their phones first thing. Early risers can easily pick up the phone and check it with full awareness of what's around you.

Your personality is very soft and sweet

Not saying all early risers are quiet. For me, I am not completely quiet. You can have more vocal people but still hold the traits of being soft and sweet.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
