11 Ways To Survive An Early Morning Class
TIME

Whether it's the beginning of the school year or you're just trying to survive the last few weeks, you will always regret taking an early class. Every morning when your alarm goes off, you question how important an education really is. Plenty of people seem to do just fine without one and I think the McDonald's down the road is hiring. Or maybe the hobo life is for you. Heck, prisoners get three square meals, right? There are some days that literally anything sounds better than getting out of my warm, comfortable bed. So for those of you who hit the snooze five or six times every morning, here are a few tips on how to make it through that dreaded early class.

1. Coffee. All The Coffee

2. Pick Your Outfit Out The Night Before

If you're like me, you probably try on 10 different outfits every morning. By picking your outfit out the night before, you give yourself a few extra minutes to stay in your warm bed.

3. Find An Alarm That Will Wake You Up

Unless you love the sound of your life ending, you're gonna have to get up and turn it off.

4. Don't Stay In Bed

Speaking of getting up, stay up! Staying in bed after turning your alarm off is a basically giving someone the gun to rob you.

5. Go To Sleep Early

I know we are in college and it somehow makes sense to stay up until 3 in the morning but I am begging you, go to bed!

6. Eat Breakfast

Life is always better when you're eating.

7. Have An Accountability Buddy

Have a friend text, call or break down your door to make sure you make it to class.

8. Do Your Homework

By doing your homework, you're more likely to understand the material you're only half awake for in class.

9. Participate In Class

The last thing you want to do in the morning is talk, but keeping your mind awake keeps you awake.

10. Use Your Skips Wisely

Some days are going to be harder than others.

11. Take Naps

It's basically how I survive.

Unless you are the luckiest human on this planet, you are eventually going to have to take an early class. Follow these tips and you might just survive.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
