What I Think Every Single Morning Before Getting Up For Class

Getting up for class, I'd rather not.

Every night I try to go to bed at a reasonable time, but Netflix loves to overpower me. I know I have an eight am class, but I can run off a few hours of sleep right? College students are known for nearly overdosing on coffee, but when it is time to get up out of bed. I already set six alarms, five minutes apart from each other, I most definitely will not be late for class. These last five minutes are just needed. I cannot possibly be late if I hit snooze one more time. When you are in college you do not shower, well barely. Rocking the messy bun sounds like a better idea everyday.

In the south, you never know what to wear, especially when your half awake and you haven't had a chance to walk outside. Is it cold or is it hot outside? Wait it does not matter because I forgot to do laundry. Great. I only had one class yesterday, if I re-wear the outfit no one will notice. Okay we have a plan, we are good. Wait, how many times have I worn this shirt? Maybe I will shock the world and match my shirt with my Nike shorts. People will actually think I have my life together if I match today. Style is one of the few things I do not care about in the morning.

It is hard enough to even wake up in the mornings and even harder to go to class. Do I really have to go? Attendance is mandatory, but missing one day will not count against me. We have a three unexcused absent rule. Wait, what if something happens and I need to miss a few days? You know what? I will just go to class. After I decide to finally get up and go to class I ask myself "should I take the trolley?"

I know that the trolley is going to get me to my class on time, but if I drive, I can totally hit up Chick-Fil-A on the way. Actually, yes, I need chicken tenders in my life, but wait I have no gas. Oh and look, gas went up again. Is it embarrassing to pay gas in change? Of course if I count out the change now, the cashier is going to have to recount it even though I just did it in front of him. Maybe I should just email my teacher ahead of time and tell her I am having car difficulties because odds are she will see me on the side of the road on campus somewhere with no gas, in tears.

My life is in shambles, why didn't I just join the military, or even smarter why would I register for 8 am's when I clearly need something after 11 because I'm still trying to recuperate from last night's rager. I guess I'll just call my mom and cry to her now and she can walk me through this, just like she does every morning.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
