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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
