6 Tips And Tricks For Waking Up With Ease

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!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
