8 A.M. Classes Are Not As Bad As People Make Them Out To Be

Just get the classes out of the way.

8 A.M. Classes Are Not As Bad As People Make Them Out To Be

Picture it: your alarm going off at 6 or 7 in the morning and it is time to get ready for class. You dread the thought of having to walk across campus or getting in your car and drive to class but it has to be done. The next 15 weeks, you think to yourself, will not be fun.

Get those thoughts out of your head. An 8 a.m. class is not as bad as people make it out to be. For most people, they will be working at 8 in the morning for the rest of their careers. So why is it okay then but not okay in college?

I took an 8 a.m. class a couple of years ago, and I do not regret it. While I wasn't particularly interested in the course itself, it allowed me to get the class out of the way early in the morning so I could worry about other things.

Would you rather have an 8:00 a.m. or be in class non-stop for hours? People who decide to schedule later in the day often have back-to-back courses with no break in between. That can be exhausting.

There is nothing wrong with an 8:00 a.m. class. So what if you have to get up really early in the morning, do not stay up so late if that is a problem. I am also taking a night class this semester and I look forward to it.

People always tell others to never take an 8:00 a.m. because they themselves thought they would not survive an early morning class. Do not listen to those people. Everyone is different. Just because that person says that you should not take it does not mean you should listen.

Some people might thrive in early morning classes. Some people are early birds, some people are night owls. Do not listen to people who dictate your schedule for you (except your advisor).

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
