The Infinite Struggle Of Going To 8 A.M. Classes, As Told By 'The Avengers'

Hearing your alarm every morning and wondering, "how many more times can I hit snooze before I NEED to get up?"

Here is a day in the life of a student with 8 a.m. classes every single day of the school week.

Hearing your alarm go off and wanting to smash your phone into a million pieces

No matter what alarm tone you chose, that sound has now become the sound that fills your worst nightmare. After five seconds, your eardrums are bleeding, your head is pounding, you've lost your phone somewhere in your sheets. This is a disaster. STOP. BEEPING. STOP. STOP. STOP. Now snooze...

Running to get to class on time

*Checks clock* 7:57 A.M.

You spend a little too long in the shower or in bed in the morning, so you get to do a super cute speed walk/run to your first class of the day. A lovely way to get a little exercise in.

Making it on time AND remembering your homework

You make it class with 17 seconds to spare. Today is looking up. You turn your paper in and smile at your professor confidently. You got this.

Feeling bad for the people that come in late because we've all been there

The walk of shame to the front of the classroom where the only open seats are...it's the worst.

Forgetting everything you know because it's too early

...Today is not, in fact, looking up. You are about to take a pretty serious L, or so you think. You try to retain as much info before you get too far behind. Take notes and you'll be fine.

Actually remembering the info after a few minutes

This isn't too bad. After your brain has woken up, things start to come back to you. The day is back on track.

Seeing people less motivated than you because again, it's EARLY

Some mornings, getting out of bed isn't the biggest struggle. It's paying attention. It's nice to see someone else on the same page that you are sometimes.

Class is almost over, and you're feeling pretty good

You did it. You woke up. Yeah, you hit some bumps along the way, but you should be proud of yourself. You got up and you are doing your best. Nothing is getting in your way today.

Sometimes, the professor even dismisses class a few minutes early

To those professors, God bless you.

Coming to the realization you have to do it all over again tomorrow 

...Enough said

In reality, though, having 8 A.M.'s isn't as awful as it seems. Get plenty of rest and you should do just fine.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
