1. Your day starts with the beeping of an annoying alarm, interrupting your perfect dream of rainbows and sunshine. 

2. Let the snoozing commence. You snooze it at least 27 times.

3. You smash your face in a pillow trying to understand how your 7 hours of sleep actually felt like 7 second. 

4. You begin to contemplating not going to class, weighing the consequences of missing, and convincing yourself you deserve this extra sleep. 

5. Okay, you're awake. You sit up in bed telling yourself that you cannot let yourself fall back asleep.... and then it happens. Just like that. Just that quick. 

6. It's serious this time. It is the last possible minute you can wakeup and still be somewhat on time. You stand up ready to face the day. 

7. You take your first steps toward the bathroom to brush your teeth.

8. Your first glimpse in the mirror, and its not a good one. 

9. Your hair is helpless. 

10. Throw on leggings and a sweatshirt, just like yesterday and the day before and the day before and the day before.

11. Grab a cereal bar and a cup of coffee.. 

12. Pull yourself together and you're out the door! Convinced this will be a great Monday. 

13. Until everything goes wrong...

14. You spill your coffee, miss the bus, trip down the stairs, rip your pants, forget your paper, etc. You name it, it's going wrong. 

15. You finally make it to class.  

16. And back to sleep it is. 

Through all the hardships and challenges Mondays bring, my best advice: 

And may the Monday odds be ever in your favor.
