6 Tips And Tricks For Waking Up With Ease
Unsplasj

If you're a night owl like me, your sleep schedule seems to put you in bed around 3 a.m. and wake you up in the early morning of 10 a.m. Some days you wake up ready to take on the world and other days you seem to never want to leave that one spot in your bed giving you warmth.

As I get older it seems that waking up gets harder and harder each time but I have started to change how I wake up so I am willing to get out of bed after the first (or third) alarm. So here are some tips and tricks for waking up with ease:

1. Wake up to a GREAT song

Personally, I enjoy starting my morning hitting my snooze button and playing "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae. But if getting you out of bed means playing a little rap or EDM music go for it!!

2. Make sure one of your windows is not covered by your double sided blackout curtains

I tend to want to sleep more because my room is pitch black but having some sun peek through the window by your face, its a lot easier to open your eyes and wake up.

3. Make a to-do list for that morning

It is better to wake up knowing you are going to make a solid breakfast with a little time to spare for coffee than to wake up and rush to the door.

4. Take a shower

This is probably the easiest way to wake up because once you're in the shower blasting your favorite music, you are ready to rock the day.

5. Wake up to your favorite TV show

Growing up my favorite part of getting up in the early morning is getting to watch that one Nickelodeon show before I start my morning. This is a great way to slowly wake up while catching up on that show you've been binge watching for the past 4 weeks.

6. Lastly, just jump up!

It sounds weird but the best way to get up when you really don't want to is to just get up because once you're out of bed it's time to start the day!

For someone who dislikes getting up in the morning as much as me, try and do one of these the next few days. It seems so small but it does help waking up in the morning! Get ready for a new day because the best things happen when you're ready to tackle the day!

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.
