Time to rise and shine!

Becoming A Morning Person
Reader's Digest

If you're a morning person, then you know how quiet the world is when you get up before the sun. When your alarm goes off and it's still pitch black outside but you wake up feeling like you can conquer anything, then you know you're a morning person. When you get up early, it gives you a chance to accomplish all of the tasks you have for the day. Not to mention how amazing it feels when you can check off your entire to-do list.

Waking up early gives you a new chance at a new day. It's a blank slate. That day can be anything you want it to be. You get a chance to watch the sunrise and see nature work its magic. You also get the chance to finally have time for some breakfast and quiet time to ease yourself into the day you're about to have.

Although, if you're a morning person, then you know how much non-morning people don't like us. But that's okay. We wake up feeling energized and organized. We have time to accomplish things before we have to be at class or our job. We get a chance to feel at ease because we don't have to worry about our commute or a paper that needs to be printed out. It's a time where we can plan out our day and know that we actually have the time for anything.

Waking up early has many benefits, and here are some ways that you can transition into becoming a morning person:

1. Go to bed early

Like Benjamin Franklin said, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

2. Don't use your phone before bed or within the first ten minutes of waking up

If you don't use your phone before bed, then it will be easier to fall asleep. Also, if you don't use your phone when you first get up, then you're more likely to get a start to your day without staying on the phone for a prolonged period of time.

3. Drink a glass of water when you first get up

Doing this will help to get your metabolism going and it will also rehydrate your body which hasn't seen any water while you were asleep.

4. Stretch as soon as you wake up

While you were sleeping your muscles were not getting any exercise, and to help wake them up, you need to stretch.

5. Try putting your alarm across the room

If you have trouble getting up because you always hit snooze, try moving your alarm. This will allow you to have to get up and move once it goes off.

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.
