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.

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.
