I chose this picture to represent my experience at Baruch thus far because I have a struggle waking up in the morning for school. Attempting to wake up at 6am almost everyday is work. It’s beyond difficult, especially considering the fact that I sleep around one to two. In the mornings, a lot of times I don’t hear the alarm go off or I continuously click the snooze button. Hearing the alarm in the morning is so dreadful. Even after my alarm goes off, I sit on my bed for longer than enough time trying to work up the energy to start getting ready for school. Because I’m so tired in the morning, I knock out on the bus, usually all the way to Flushing or Grand Central. Sometimes, I wake up right before my stop. But when I’m not so lucky, I end up going past my stop and then having to go back. The cold weather doesn’t help either. To step out of the house and have that cold air hit my face, it makes my mornings worse. The cold wind does help me wake up, but to have to stand at the bus stop, freezing, waiting for my bus to come, while barely having the energy to stand up, it isn’t fun. But still I somehow end up managing to get to school everyday. And when I get home, I’m usually exhausted, so I would always tell myself that I’m going straight to bed after my homework. But I never do. I always find myself awake past 12 o’clock. Then the next day I have to repeat the whole process over. It is partly my fault for not getting enough sleep, so it takes me so long to get up. But then again, I do have to wake up extremely early, only to look forward for a long commute to school.
