1. You wake up, somehow before your alarm, and are horrified to see it is only 8a.m., because E-Hall doesn’t open for two more hours.

2. You try to go back to sleep only to be daydreaming about tater tots to cure all of your problems.

3. It’s 8:30a.m. and there is no sign of awake life forms in your dorm.

You can’t help but wonder why you have been cursed with waking up early.

4. 9:00am. You get up.

Your bed is awkwardly warm from laying in it and you are too hungry to function. You decide to get ready to distract yourself.

5. Fifteen minutes pass and you find yourself in perfect E-Hall attire: sweats on sweats, topped with the perfect messy bun.

You are ready to eat.

6. It’s 9:30a.m. and you are getting antsy.

You could leave now and walk slow. You would still get there about 15-20 minutes early, but also would be first in the omelet line. You think about the seven plates you will be getting, and realize you must wait for your roommate. You can’t be seen like that alone.

7. 9:45a.m. You realize your roommate didn’t set an alarm.

You also realize she has a tendency of sleeping in till noon. You can’t handle this kind of wait. You text every friend you know and some random group project friends to see if they want to get E-Hall with you.

8. 9:50am. Who takes five minutes to respond?

You are starting to question your choice in friends. You tell yourself they are sleeping or already ate. Whoever takes more than five minutes to respond to an E-Hall brunch invitation is not a true JMU student.

9. 9:55a.m. You get a response!

You perk up from your chair and see that one of your friends is ALREADY on her way to E-Hall. You write your roomie a sticky note saying you’ll bring her back some fruit and tots, and dash off.

10. 10a.m. Right. On. Time.

You walk into E-Hall with your new partner in crime and go straight to the tots. Untouched, and freshly baked. You sit down and pop them in your mouth, now being able to think clearly and think about what your next six plates of deliciousness will consist of.
