The 5 Steps When Waking Up Late
Frozen

Everyone has had those mornings where waking up is a chore and hitting snooze to get the last five minutes of sleep seems like the only option. But then for some reason the snooze button was defective, you wake up ten minutes before class starts and you’re basically screwed. We've all had the same thoughts while frantically trying to get out the door with enough time to spare.

1. Satisfaction.

The instant gratification of waking up later than you were supposed to, before you realize, DAMN IT! You were supposed to be out the door ages ago. Those seconds of ignorant bliss are the best, a happy time before you check your phone and notice how much you messed up that morning.

2. The Realization.

The realization that you completely disregarded your 12 alarms and slept through every slight disturbance. It's only until you check your phone that you notice you are late. This is the worst out of all of them. All you wanted to do was check Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter with out any disturbances, but now you don't even have time to like what your wearing let alone someone else's status.

3. The Jump.

This jump is a record breaking jump. Once you land your left wondering why you aren't an olympian, because some how you got out of bed were 10 feet into the air and landed safely onto the ground. This jump out of bed begins the race to find clothes and anything you’d need for the day. For some reason finding what you need becomes a lot harder when you’re in a rush and can’t focus.

4. The Race.

This race is to get an hour of prep done in less than 10 minutes. The race includes getting dressed, brushing your: hair, teeth and if possible; trying to make yourself look as presentable as possible. Or finding whatever's clean throwing it on and pretending that a yellow shirt and green sweatpants really do match. Maybe eating, who am I kidding, eating is more important than class. And finally you're done. You look terrible and feel like a train hit you, but you'll probably make it to class on time.

5. Grab and Go.

This is the most important moment before you rush out that door. This is when you have to quickly grab everything you need for your class or classes and run out the door. Sprinting to class in the hopes that you will make it there earlier than you think or at least at a decent time. No one is safe if they are in your path, you are on an unstoppable mission.

Once you get to class there are two feelings: either relief that you made it, or grief that you forgot something or got their late. But either way, you got there.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

Michigan rain vs. California rain (at Calvin College).

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

You're Your Own Best Friend

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
