10 Things You Should Know About Taking 8 A.M. Classes

As I sit here in class at 7:50 a.m., waiting for my class to start, I decided that this would be a perfect time to write an article about 8 a.m. classes. While I was making my schedule in the summer I kept telling myself, “Take that 8 a.m. psych class because you love psych and you are gonna be thrilled to get up.” I didn’t even think that for the first few weeks all I was going to be learning was basic psychology stuff, founders, when it was founded, and what psychology is.

On a daily basis, you hear everything.. from “I would never be able to do what you do” to “OMG you’re crazy, do you ever relax?” But its true when they say, “first they talk, then they copy.” Here is a scenario: Driving home from work on a Friday night, you pass by the bar downtown to get to your apartment. You can hear the music playing and you see everyone walking around, enjoying the night.. and their alcohol. You go home, get your things ready to do the same thing over again tomorrow, and then sleep for the next six hours. You then proceed to wake up, get ready, and repeat the day. You take

An Open Letter to the Roommate Who Didn’t Work Out

To My Ex-Roommate, I’m sorry. I’m sorry because I really wanted us to work out. I thought we would be best friends, sharing food, sharing clothes, and talking about boys late into the night.
