5 Perks of Being A Morning Person
OC Gonzalez

Everyone is either a morning person or a night owl. Most of my family are morning people having grown up on farms and starting the days at the wee hours of the morning to do chores. So, for me, it seems to be a link to my genetics as to why I am a morning person.

As a morning person, I have never slept past 9:30 am (that was one time after coming back from prom) and my version of "sleeping in" usually means getting up at 7:30 am. I am on the rowing team at Creighton and my days usually start before 5:00 am and they usually end around 9:00 pm. So my schedule rolls around this idea of me being a morning person!

For those people who are not morning people, they may look at this article and just roll their eyes because they thrive in the late hours of the night and don't start their day until late morning. However, being a morning person has many great qualities and aspects that can really come with some added benefits!

1. See Great Morning Views



I get up to go to rowing workouts in the very early mornings, and we see some pretty amazing sunrises while out on the water!

2. Feel Refreshed In The Morning



The morning is when us early risers thrive! When we see the sun come up, we are ready to seize the day and get started! It is such a great feeling and it is usually when we are the most productive!

3. Great Morning Workouts (If You Workout)



Working out in the morning definitely gives a great start to your day! If you do a workout out that is! Actually working out in the morning is supposedly the best time to do a workout.

4. You Get A Lot Of Your Work Done In The Morning



I know that this is definitely true for me as I feel more awake in the morning as compared to the afternoon! This leads to less stressful afternoons for me, and sometimes allows me to take it easy if I am able to do so!

5. It Doesn't Bother You To Wake Up Early For Work



For some people, it is a huge struggle to get up and get going to work in the morning because they are just not early morning people. However, for us early risers getting up to leave at 7:30 am to get to work is easy!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
