Summer is coming to an end and the academic year is about to begin. Some college students chose to have an 8 am or two, while others are dreading the notion of having to get up before lunchtime. I chose to have an 8 am because of these 12 reasons:
1. There's less traffic on campus
When arriving for your 8 am, you won't have wait for the entire mass of humanity to get through the crosswalk!
2. You *finally* get to park in the closest commuter lot
You now have access to the *perfect* parking lot! No more parking in Timbuktu! (Except on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but that's not the point here.)
3. There are no lines at Starbucks or Dunkin
You can get your Strawberry Lemonade Refresher and cheese danish in record time!
4. You're done with classes early
Now that you're up, you have the rest of your day to be productive! (Or finish that series on Netflix!)
5. You'll do better in the class
This study says so!
6. Afternoon nap time
You can nap worry-free because you have no classes to accidentally sleep through!
7. Your schedule is free for campus clubs and activities
Almost all activities happen in the late afternoon and evening.
(Side note: I missed watching a BIG campus protest because I was in class.)
8. More time to spend with your friends
Nothing is worse than sitting at dinner with your friends making plans that you can't go to because you have a 6:30 pm - 9 pm class.
9. You'll have more time to do everything else in life
Who knew how much you could get done if you got up before noon!?
10. You can get a job
It helps buy more coffee! Oh, and tuition too!
11. Time management
A necessary adulting skill!
12. Morning classes prepare you for the real world
Someday, we'll all have jobs and will most likely have to get up everyday before 8 am.
