Mornings are a struggle, and in college, they're even more of a struggle. For those of us who hate waking up in the morning after a full night's sleep, try doing it after only four to five hours of sleep. In college, you're up late studying or having a social life, so sleep is limited and waking up in the morning is torture.
1. We most likely have at least five different alarms set.
But we still hit the snooze button at least 10 more times every time one alarm goes off.
2. We take our "just five more minutes" seriously.
Five more minutes means just that, five more minutes. No one can force us out of bed during those five extra minutes. We can and will go back to sleep in those five minutes, and I swear they make all the difference.
3. When we finally do get up, it takes everything we have to stay up and not crawl back into bed.
It's just so cozy, warm and safe snuggled up in bed. How can you not want to stay there forever? Class isn't that important, right?
4. I wouldn't recommend speaking to us until we've actually fully gotten out of bed.
Our side eye game is strong, real strong. If you want to avoid getting that look, don't talk to us. It's seriously that simple.
5. Actually, I would just recommend not talking to us at all until we've had our coffee.
Coffee is life when you hate mornings and you might end up being our favorite person ever if you bring us coffee in the morning.
6. If you do talk to us, just don't take it to heart when you get a side eye look, a rude response or even no response at all.
The only thing we're are thinking at the point is, "Do I really have to get up?" or "I need coffee like five minutes ago." Anything else is irrelevant.
7. Especially if you're one of those overly happy morning people.
There is a difference between a morning person who can get out of bed early and a morning person who is way too happy and talkative when they wake up. Our brains just cant handle so much enthusiasm that early in the morning.
8. We're most likely showing up in whatever we rolled out of bed in.
Let's be real, we hit the snooze button way too many times to have any time left to get ready.
9. I can almost guarantee that we didn't even attempt to brush our hair.
We're here to learn not impress anyone, right? At least we brushed our teeth... hopefully.
10. If it's the weekend, don't make plans before noon.
We aren't getting up before noon, and if we accidentally wake up before then, we are in no way happy about it.
