8 am Classes: the bane of our existence as college students. If you make it through your entire college career without ever taking the dreadfully early class, you deserve a gold star on your diploma. And what's the worst part about 8ams? Getting out of your warm bed an hour earlier. Let's face it, we don't actually go back to sleep after our alarm goes off. We just lay there, pondering life, and our purpose for going to college. Let's dig deeper into these early morning thoughts with seven phrases that cross our sleepy minds while trying to wake up for our 8am classes.

1. "When's the deadline to drop a class?"

2. "Ok let's think through my outfit for today. I'm going to wear my black Nike leggings and Patagonia pull-over. See, I can still be productive in bed. Go me."

3. "Lemme just check the syllabus on phone for the class attendance policy."

4. "If I don't wear any makeup and just do a messy bun, I can stay in bed for 10 more minutes."

5. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll try to wake my mind up by checking Facebook."

6. "Geez, why is my brightness all the way up?"

7. *checks time* Clock: "7:45 a.m."

Me: "I should be ashamed of myself."
