6 Terrific Reasons You Should Make Your Bed In The Morning

Don't let laziness be the thing you start your day with.

Let's face it: mornings are not for everybody (myself absolutely included). And we have a tendency to be lazy, indulging in habits that include skipping breakfast, hitting 'snooze,' and not making our beds.

So when you have a bad morning, more than likely it will throw off the rest of your day and leave your brain spinning. To avoid that, I have come up with nine reaons why making your bed in the morning will make the rest of your day 10x better.

1. You are less likely to get back in bed.

The temptation to fall back asleep is always there, so if you make your bed then you are more than likely not going to want to sleep without all of your warm blankets. And, because most of us are lazy in the mornings, it will take too much effort to unmake it.

2. It declutters your mind.

Giphy

Whenever you wake up, get ready, and have a few minutes to spare before you head out the door, if you look around and see all of the chores you have to do (including mkaing up your bed), then a kind of anxiety begins to form. More mess in your house means more mess in your mind.

3. No need to close your bedroom door for visitors.

You know when you have last minute guests come over and you are scrambling to try and make your home "acceptable," if your bed is already made, then that is one less thing to worry about!

4. Sets the mood for the rest of the day.

Giphy

If you begin your day with one productive thing, your brain is usually pushed to do more productive things throughout the day.

5. Helps you form good habits.

Sure, this may not stop you from biting your nails or chewing your hair, but it will help your brain follow a pattern. And, if you continously follow this patern, you will make it a habit, and once one good habit starts, then it tends to be easier to form other good ones.

6. Makes you mother proud.

Giphy

Because if you were raised in any shape, form, or fashion like I was, then you know if your momma came to the house, apartment, dorm, etc., and saw your bed wasn not made, she would have a stroke.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, 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."

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
