10 Relatable Struggles Of Having An 8 A.M. Lecture

Getting out of bed is literally the hardest task of the day.

For all those night owls out there, an 8 a.m. lectures are one of the worst things that can happen to you in college. These are some of the struggles that you may go through right now or in the future.

1. You have a love-hate relationship with your snooze button

Honestly, the snooze button is either the best or the worst invention ever. It gives you a few more glorious minutes of sleep, but it throws off your internal body clock and leaves you with that groggy feeling (a.k.a. sleep inertia).

2. You spend at least five minutes contemplating if class is even worth it

Then, it turns into: is college worth it? Is a job worth it? Is a family worth it? In the end, your desire for a good future surpasses your desire for sleep.

3. You ask yourself how you managed to wake up at 7 a.m. every morning in high school

In high school, you were able to wake up a whole hour before you had to leave to eat breakfast, shower, and look good. Now, it’s hard to wake up ten minutes before you have to leave, and you could care less about going with tangled hair and sweatpants.

4. You sadly watch your roommates sleeping as you’re forced to get ready


You can’t help but be jealous of your roommate, who has the luxury to take a 1 p.m. lecture.

5. You look at other people making the trek to class, as you all connect over the struggle of having an 8 am by showing each other pity

“Bro, I feel you” is the only accurate way you can describe the look on people’s faces when you walk beside them.

6. You get to class, and everyone is as dead as you are


The professor is the only one fully awake. Everyone else is either pretending to take notes while zoning out, or they’re dozing off. Honestly, it's not a surprise when someone starts snoring.

7. There is always one girl or guy who asks the professor questions every ten minutes

And this person is also awake. They can’t help but ask or debate with the professor whenever they get the chance. Brownie points!

8. Your friends are just starting to wake up, but you’re stuck in lecture for another 30 minutes


Thank you for your “good morning” snaps, but it is not a good morning. Also, these are a bit rare because everyone is usually still sleeping, which shows that the class is too early in the morning for anyone to function (@ the school system)!

9. The professor’s voice seems to drone on and on and on and on

It amazes you how long the professor can talk, but you are more amazed at how long you can zone out.

10. You have to do this EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK.


Even though you zoned out for most of the lecture, you are still proud of yourself for getting out of bed and for sitting in class!

To those of you with an 8 a.m., good luck and try to opt out of those classes if you can next quarter!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
