1. Bribe yourself with Coffee

Caffeine fueled mornings are the way to go.

2. Play Some Music

Have yo' self a solo dance party.

3. Turn the lights on Right Away

Blind yourself before going to class.

4. Make your roommates take 8 AMs with you

Have you ever been peer pressured to go to class?

5. Imagine how accomplished you'll feel

Get it done and over with, then carry on with your day.

6. Reward yourself with an afternoon nap

Or maybe a mid-morning snooze.

7. Remember how early high school you used to wake up

High school me was on a different level.

8. Take a shower

Cold water always helps to wake you up!

9. Remember that attendance doesn't count and go back to bed

JUST KIDDING...There's always tomorrow, right?
