10 Things People Who Are Chronically Late To Class Understand

Sometimes, getting to class on time just isn't realistic. For some people, getting to class on time is NEVER realistic. Here are 10 things that these unfortunate students understand about the struggles of punctuality.

1. The number of alarms you set is irrelevant

You automatically snooze the alarms and get out of bed unreasonably close to the beginning of your first class every day anyway, so why even bother?

2. You don’t have time to look nice for class

What even is a hairbrush? You haven’t used one before class in… well, ever.

3. Breakfast is not an option

Unless, of course, you’re willing to eat a granola bar on the walk to class. Breakfast isn’t really a priority when you have five minutes to get out the door.

4. You are the master of speed walking

You’ve completed the 15-minute walk to school in well under 10 minutes due to your impressive ability to power walk.

5. The people in your first class have never seen you look put together

You want to get dressed up one morning just to prove that you CAN look nice, but you also know that that’s not going to happen.

6. You have only ever arrived sweaty and out of breath

Then you have to climb over so many people’s legs to find a seat, loudly peel off your jacket while the professor is lecturing, and allow your lungs to recover from your sprint to class.

7. Or you haven’t even arrived at all

You know when to take the L and stay at home. Arriving five minutes late is okay, but 40 minutes late might possibly be frowned upon.

8. Even if you don’t have an early class, you still show up late

Class at 8:30? Late. Class at 1:30? Also late. At least you’re consistent.

9. You’re silently annoyed at all the people who show up early to class

Honestly, why would you arrive at 9:20 for a 9:30? How does one accomplish that? Are those people even real?

10. If you do happen to show up early, you don’t know what to do with yourself

Do you still sit in the back? Do you talk to other students? Nothing has prepared you for this situation.

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.
