How to survive early morning classes

By now I'm guessing you've had an encounter with at least one morning class you can't avoid. Crazier still, is if it's on Friday morning. You see for me, my mind goes into celebration mode on Thursday, cause that's when my weekend begins. So let's just say Friday morning classes are not my thing. If you belong to this school of thought, gather here. I'm about to show you how to nail that unwanted class.

 

Prepare the night before

Set out everything you need for that class in advance to reduce the amount of stress you will experience in the morning, trying to get it together. Pack up your bag of stationery, set out your outfit, clean your shoes if they need cleaning and so on.

 

Pick out functional looks

I'm sure you've come across 'minimalist' styles before. It could be the theme in a home or your dress code. A look like this is meant to keep you fly with very few accessories. I don't mean you should show as much skin as you can lol. Just wear less in terms of accessories. Avoid those clothing items that need like a particular jacket and sunglasses to complete the look. A simple Tee,well fitted jeans and vanns would do for guys. For girls you could rock a shift dress and some flats for a nice easy look that takes no more than 5 minutes to put together.

 

Don't skip breakfast

You're bound to be better equipped to deal with inconvenient situations on a full stomach. Eat Something filling. In fact, plan out something exciting for breakfast the night before. I personally sleep better knowing a sumptuous breakfast awaits me in the morning. It could be anything from left over pizza,to your favourite cereal or a delicious slice of cake. Whatever tickles your fancy. Hey, you could even reward yourself for attending that class on time once it ends. Trust me it works.

 

Set multiple alarms

I was about to talk about a 'love-hate' relationship with alarm clocks, but before I get ahead of myself, let me just say that I don't know a single person in this life that likes alarms. Especially when they go off in the morning. I personally would not trust such a person. I think they are hiding something hehe. But I digress. The idea here is to set at least one alarm to get you out of bed, then set a different one to be dressed by and finally one to leave your room. You're bound to consistently achieve your goals when you're not so hard on yourself. It is okay to have 4 alarms to get you out of your room, is all I'm saying.

 

Sleep early

We all love to think of ourselves as ninjas that can bend rules and still get things done. While this may be true to some extent, it may not be a full proof plan. Don't drink heavily the night before an early morning class. You may not make it out of bed in the morning. And if you do, that class will be a struggle. Sleep enough for that class.

 

Assignments

Make sure all your assignments are complete before the class. You'll be less stressed about attending it. Read ahead if you can, in order to understand what is taught. You will be more interested in the lecture once you have an idea of the subject topic.

 

Affirm yourself 

Talk to yourself positively before attending that class. Tell yourself you will make it on time and enjoy the class. Heck, you can tell yourself anything good you want to hear that morning, to ensure that the rest of the day is profitable and rewarding. Whatever will safely get you in a good mood, do it.
