6:45
The deep slumber I've been enjoying for the last three months of summer break is interrupted by a ridiculously obnoxious, body-cringing noise that can only be concluded as the alarm on my phone.
Dazed and confused I turn off this life-ruining noise and stare at my ceiling, half asleep and still confused at what the hell just happened.
Then it hits me, FIRST DAY OF CLASS.
WHAT. NO. NO NO NO NO NO.
Then it all comes back. I went to bed early to try and maybe get a good start to the school year (didn't work out), and why is it at this ungodly hour? Oh yeah, I also decided that I was going to not look like a zombie this year and that I was going to actually dress nice and act like a lady. GREAT.
Well, I've already wasted 10 minutes wallowing in my own self pity and I'm now behind schedule. DOUBLE GREAT. Okay so I'm just going to take a quick shower, no biggie.
I speed through my shower, slap on some makeup, and try my hardest to just get the top layer of my hair dry. I mean no one is going to look that close, right? Whatever.
Now to check the weather app, trying to get an idea of what the "first day" outfit is going to look like this year. 88 and 20% chance of rain. Oh, what it meant to say was humid, HUMID, HUMID. So basically regardless of what I wear I'm going to sweat through it walking to class anyways. TRIPLE GREAT.
Alright, no need to panic. If my hair and makeup are done, it is PERFECTLY acceptable to just throw on athletic shorts and a big ass t-shirt because that's cute right now and I at least look like I tried from the neck up.
Okay. Breathe.
What classes do I have today, eh it'll just be syllabuses anyways. Let's just throw some paper and a pencil in there and go get some freakin' coffee.
YES COFFEE.
Alright, I have twenty minutes to trudge through this ungodly heat and get a cup of magic that will make this whole day bearable.
WAIT. I don't have an ID card, which means I have no swipes, which means NO COFFEE. QUADRUPLE GREAT.
Okay, I pay 20+ thousand dollars to go here a year, the least they can do is give a girl a cup of coffee on her first day, right? Totally right.
As I walk into the cafe I see people I know, people I don't know but most importantly I only see 10% of them even wearing jeans so basically I'm the most dressed up one here. Frick yes.
As I steal a cup of coffee from my portable cup (hehehe) I look at my phone to realize I only have 7 minutes to get to my class. Time to turn on my olympic worthy mall-walking. I've totally got this.
After what seems about a hundred "Hi's!" and "How was your summer's?" I finally reach my destination, well not really I still have three flights of stairs to walk. It's fine, it's just like the stair stepper at the gym only you're not jamming to Drake. It's fine.
7:59
One minute to spare as I walk into class, coffee in hand. I take my seat and take a deep breathe. I tell myself "Girl, you can totally do this" as my professor walks in greeting us for the first time. This is it. Let's do it.
