8 AM

If you're like me, you didn't really pay attention to times when signing up for your freshman year classes. That, my friend, will land you straight in an 8 AM class, and again if you're like me, that class is Monday through Thursday. This kind of sucks, however it can also be a good thing.

On the side of it sucking, I have to get up at 7 every morning to be able to make it to class on time. I changed my evening routine to: homework, shower, more homework, sleep. It's a lot more time management than just getting up on time. I have to go to bed at a decent hour to be able to function the next day, and honestly, I set three alarms to make sure I wake up on time, because I am prone to just turning off my alarms and going right back to bed. On one occasion, I actually did. My 7 AM alarm went off, and apparently I turned all my alarms completely off and rolled back over and went back to sleep. My best friend, and roommate, woke up and said "Hannah, it's 7:45, don't you have to be in class?" That was the fastest I've ever moved in my life. Usually I leave my dorm at 7:40 just to give you some perspective. However, I got up, dressed, packed my backpack, and was in my seat by 7:53. I was texting my roommate the entire time, and we were both shocked at how fast I was able to do that.

It's not all bad, though. Yeah, it might suck at first, but once I'm up, I'm up for good. I feel like I actually have time in the day to get what I need to done. I can actually eat breakfast for starters. I'll go after class and I have time to sit and have a nice meal. It's very therapeutic to eat breakfast by myself. I get to people watch and have some time to relax. Also, not many people are up at that time, so I'm basically by myself walking through campus, and I must say, my campus is beautiful. I'm not tired either. I get up, I make some coffee, and I'm good to go.

All in all, taking an 8 AM class has its pros and cons. I myself will probably not take another one, however getting up early isn't as bad as I thought.
