When You Are Not A Morning Person

It's time to set those 20 alarms.

When I am talking about the morning, I mean anytime before 12 p.m. I am usually amazed at myself when I wake up anytime before this time. Here are definitely some signs that you are like me and can't stand the mornings:

1. You have a million alarms set for the morning.

Waking up is always a struggle because you just want to lay in bed a little bit longer. You will always snooze your alarm and will think to yourself that you will sleep for just 10 more minutes and then you will get up. Thank God for the extra 20 alarms that you have set so that you won't actually oversleep. Now it is just up to you when you should actually get out of bed; the next 10 minutes or the next 10 minutes after that. It is important that you do not keep hitting snooze too many times or then you will actually run late.

2. Number One Rule: Do Not Talk in the Morning

When you wake up first thing the morning, the most important rule is to not talk. It is way too early to be doing this. The mornings need to be spent with no talking because you need to actually process that you are not sleeping. Even in college, my roommate and I would not speak in the morning while we were both getting ready. We would send each other a text if we were going to breakfast or not in the dining hall while we were literally next to each other.

3. Coffee is necessary in order to function.

Without coffee, we would all be exhausted and lost in this world. The best way to start the day is with coffee and it is the only thing that is making you capable of getting anything done at all. It is only until after that I have my coffee that I will start talking and actually act like a human being.

4. Morning people make you angry.

There will always be those people who are extremely energetic and happy in the mornings. Because you are also not happy and energetic with them, you tend to show these people your dark side.

5. Hearing the words "Good Morning" makes you cringe.

Just hearing this will make you mad even more. There is nothing good about the mornings, how dare you.

6. Noises in the morning are disgraceful.

Being woken up by pots and pans banging around the kitchen or people just screaming for no reason is enough to ruin the start of your day. It's even worse when the neighbors decide to mow their lawn at 8 am, an ungodly hour.

7. Trying to process what you are doing the in mornings is impossible.

When you are trying to wake up, you might realize that you accidentally walked out forgetting to put on shoes and you realize that you are wearing your slippers. This has happened to me on more than one occasion.

8. Stepping outside is like stepping into a new world.

Sometimes when you finally step outside, you get blinded by the sun because it is so bright out that its shocking because you do not turn on a lot of lights as you are getting ready in the morning. There are also times when you step outside and it is still dark out. What's the point of getting up if the sun isn't even up yet?

9. It's impossible to concentrate in your classes.

It is a struggle when you can't think in your classes because it is too early. Do not expect me to participate during early classes, I am still in my no talking stage. During class all you can think about is your bed and when you can squeeze in a nap during your schedule.

10. You get angry when people say "you look tired."

This is the worst because these people know that you just rolled out of bed. They say it in a really nice way too but it can still be offensive. I'm sorry I'm not bursting with radiance in the morning.

11. Weekends are a blessing.

All week you are looking forward to the weekend and when it comes it is a blessing. Now you can finally sleep in and not worry about setting your 20 alarms. Your bed is your new best friend all over again.

The mornings are never fun when you are someone who can't stand them. It must be nice to be a morning person. Maybe it's possible that I will be a morning person one day, but I doubt it.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
