When You Are Not A Morning Person

It's time to set those 20 alarms.

When You Are Not A Morning Person

When I am talking about the morning, I mean anytime before 12 p.m. I am usually amazed at myself when I wake up anytime before this time. Here are definitely some signs that you are like me and can't stand the mornings:

1. You have a million alarms set for the morning.

Waking up is always a struggle because you just want to lay in bed a little bit longer. You will always snooze your alarm and will think to yourself that you will sleep for just 10 more minutes and then you will get up. Thank God for the extra 20 alarms that you have set so that you won't actually oversleep. Now it is just up to you when you should actually get out of bed; the next 10 minutes or the next 10 minutes after that. It is important that you do not keep hitting snooze too many times or then you will actually run late.

2. Number One Rule: Do Not Talk in the Morning

When you wake up first thing the morning, the most important rule is to not talk. It is way too early to be doing this. The mornings need to be spent with no talking because you need to actually process that you are not sleeping. Even in college, my roommate and I would not speak in the morning while we were both getting ready. We would send each other a text if we were going to breakfast or not in the dining hall while we were literally next to each other.

3. Coffee is necessary in order to function.

Without coffee, we would all be exhausted and lost in this world. The best way to start the day is with coffee and it is the only thing that is making you capable of getting anything done at all. It is only until after that I have my coffee that I will start talking and actually act like a human being.

4. Morning people make you angry.

There will always be those people who are extremely energetic and happy in the mornings. Because you are also not happy and energetic with them, you tend to show these people your dark side.

5. Hearing the words "Good Morning" makes you cringe.

Just hearing this will make you mad even more. There is nothing good about the mornings, how dare you.

6. Noises in the morning are disgraceful.

Being woken up by pots and pans banging around the kitchen or people just screaming for no reason is enough to ruin the start of your day. It's even worse when the neighbors decide to mow their lawn at 8 am, an ungodly hour.

7. Trying to process what you are doing the in mornings is impossible.

When you are trying to wake up, you might realize that you accidentally walked out forgetting to put on shoes and you realize that you are wearing your slippers. This has happened to me on more than one occasion.

8. Stepping outside is like stepping into a new world.

Sometimes when you finally step outside, you get blinded by the sun because it is so bright out that its shocking because you do not turn on a lot of lights as you are getting ready in the morning. There are also times when you step outside and it is still dark out. What's the point of getting up if the sun isn't even up yet?

9. It's impossible to concentrate in your classes.

It is a struggle when you can't think in your classes because it is too early. Do not expect me to participate during early classes, I am still in my no talking stage. During class all you can think about is your bed and when you can squeeze in a nap during your schedule.

10. You get angry when people say "you look tired."

This is the worst because these people know that you just rolled out of bed. They say it in a really nice way too but it can still be offensive. I'm sorry I'm not bursting with radiance in the morning.

11. Weekends are a blessing.

All week you are looking forward to the weekend and when it comes it is a blessing. Now you can finally sleep in and not worry about setting your 20 alarms. Your bed is your new best friend all over again.

The mornings are never fun when you are someone who can't stand them. It must be nice to be a morning person. Maybe it's possible that I will be a morning person one day, but I doubt it.

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.
