Now that summer school is right around the corner, I need to get used to waking up early but, WOW, sleep is so good and so tempting. It's seriously so hard to wake up early, especially since I've been sleeping in for so long now...here are ten struggles of doing so:

1. The snooze button is right there

Giphy

I've tried placing my phone far away to force myself to get up, but it's a lost cause.

2. My bed looks and IS too comfortable

Giphy

I've tried to make my bed after waking up, but I just end up crawling back in.

3. I look, feel, am tired

Giphy

Dark circles are just my everyday look.

4. Mid-day naps are heaven-sent

Giphy

Mid-day naps are the best, but they make it significantly harder to fall asleep at night.

5. At a certain extent, it’s just a fight with your mind

Giphy

I could be exercising, getting work done, or spending time with family instead of sleeping. BUT, sleep is ultimately #1 on some days.

6. It’s hard to deal with people in the morning

Giphy

Please don't talk to me till I've eaten (I don't drink coffee).

7. I try to sleep early, but Netflix is too darn good

Giphy

I get in bed to sleep at 11, but all the drama in Grey's Anatomy keeps me up to 2 in the morning.

8. You set a dozen alarms to wake up, but they prove insufficient

Giphy

Sorry to my past and future roommates/apartment mates!!

At this point, I'm going to have to force myself to become a morning person. This may mean more mid-day naps or a desire to drink coffee, but at least I won't be late for class!

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.
