You’ve been sleeping peacefully for the last 8, who are we kidding, 6 hours when you are awoken by the spawn of Satan itself…your alarm. You have to muster up all the strength you have in your limp body to roll out of bed and you immediately begin counting down the hours until you might get to sleep again. Waking up in the morning is awful, and if you love sleep as much as I do, you know how difficult it is to actually wake up and move on with your day. So, here are the 10 stages of waking up as told through our favorite spirit animal: Blair Waldorf.

1. Denial

The first step is almost the most difficult, because you so badly want this to be an awful nightmare. "No! this can't be happening! I still have 30 more minutes!"

2. Snooze

You hit the snooze button and then try to get comfortable again since your alarm so rudely woke you up the first time.

3. Anger

You've realized that this unfortunately isn't a nightmare and you begin to scramble around for your alarm clock to stop the incessant beeping. "UGHHHHHHHH!!!"

4. Regret

"Why did I stay up until 3 a.m. studying? I still don't know anything"

5. Bargaining

You start cutting out parts of your routine so that maybe you can put off getting out of bed. "If I don't do my hair, I can sleep for 15 more minutes"

6. Procrastination

"Just a few more minutes! I promise!"

7. Stress

You then begin thinking of everything you have to get done today, and quickly start getting overwhelmed.

8. Depression

Like I said, waking up is hard. So is everything you have to do once you wake up. It also makes you want to cry. "Why me?"

9. Acceptance

(5 minutes until class starts) Well, I guess I have to get up now

10. Coffee... or in Blair's case, mimosas!
