11 Problems With Mornings

As told by a night owl.

11 Problems With Mornings

Mornings. They have your warm coffee, pancakes and don't forget the beautiful sunrise. The morning may seem like a wonderful part of the day to some people, unless of course you are a night owl. Being a night owl makes morning time a special kind of awful. Morning doesn't even have to be before the sun fully rises. I could wake up at 3 p.m. and still hate mornings. It's a part of life. Morning people will go to bed at 9 p.m. and love the morning. A night owl could go to bed and still be a grump when they wake up. So from all the night owls to all of the early birds, enjoy the morning because here's the list of reasons why we don't:

1. The alarm clock is the worst sound you've ever heard.

Five more minutes! Please! For the sake of all that is holy, let me sleep! Stop your ungodly noise. I just need sleep!

2. Falling back to sleep and the alarm clock going off again.

If we are totally honest, the second time is worse than first. We loathe ourselves for the misery that we have brought upon ourselves by giving us just those five more minutes.


3.The bed is so warm.

I am never leaving this bed. Ever. Try to make me. I dare you.


4. Light is too bright.

It may not actually be that dramatic. It really does feel like your eyes are melting, though. When someone flips on the lights, it is like death and pain have come for you in a handbasket.


5. Actually getting up.

No. No, you are not. You are not ready for the cold or to face the day. You drag yourself out of bed to face the day anyway. Sorry Jon Snow, the only thing we are ready to do is, cry.


6. Walking is hard because you aren't actually awake.

I am in serious need of one of those guide hoops because the number of walls, counter edges and doors I have bumped into in the morning is not okay. I don't think it would solve the problem of the stairs attacking me, though.


7. Your eyes don't work.

I'm awake, I swear, but I'm having a little trouble opening my eyes. They don't want to. When I try everything is just a blur. It's a blur until at least my third cup of coffee.


8. You waste a ton of water trying to wake up.

A warm shower can be just as awesome as a warm bed. But I often find after I get out I didn't get all the shampoo out of my hair. Or I forgot to shave a whole leg. Or I used conditioner instead of lotion. So much for waking up.


9. You miss your mouth trying to eat.

Like Ron, we tend to get more food on our face than in our mouth. It's a side effect of not being able to open your eyes.


10. Words aren't real before 10 a.m.

Are you talking to me? I don't understand what you just said. Please don't let that be a question because I can't think of an answer.


11. Morning people.

Come at me with your sunshine and rainbows and I will kill you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
