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!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
