SNOOZE

5:35 AM and off goes my first alarm. *SNOOZE* 5:45 AM and there goes the second one. *SNOOZE* Every 10ish minutes for about 40 minutes a new alarm goes off with a different song, hoping that they will be the lucky alarm to motivate me to get out of bed. Sorry to break it too you but it’s going to take a little bit more than some tunes to get me out of bed.

My mom finally comes in around 6:10 6:15ish turns my light on and tells me that I need to get up or that I am going to be late for school. After lying in bed for a solid 10 more minutes I look at the clock and realize that I have a good 15min to straighten my hair, do my makeup, brush my teeth, get dressed and get out the door, and let me tell you that is not an easy task to succeed at.

I would have to say that waking up is the hardest part of the day, NO QUESTION. When my first alarm going off I dread hearing it and feel like I had only been sleeping for 30 minutes but I feel semi-relieved that I can still sleep for about 25 more minutes before I have to go into rush mode when I’m getting ready or just go to school looking bad. But I mean let’s be honest here who wants to get out of their nice, warm, cozy bed to get up into your freezing cold house and get ready for school? That’s right…..NO ONE!

I’m sure I know exactly what you’re thinking, “Go to bed earlier and you wouldn't have this problem.” Like no it’s not that easy because first off the moment you lay down in bed and hit the pillow everything that you could possibly think about comes to mind and you lay there coming up with all these unrealistic bizarre scenarios and the next thing you know is it 1 AM and another thing is no matter what time I go to bed I will ALWAYS want to keep sleeping in the morning because as a high school student you realize how important and precious sleep really is! And you regret not taking advantage of nap time back in kindergarten.

The comfyness and warmness of my bed in the morning is unbearable. The first think I think about when I wake up is how many hours I have until I get to come home from school and take a nap, but sadly that doesn't always happen. The amount of anger and disappointment that comes out of getting up in the morning is too much to handle that early and let me tell you, it is NOT fun!
