I've never really considered myself a morning person, mornings are always groggy, and pulling your self out from under the covers is no simple task. I've never really been much of a night owl either. When my body got tired, it was time for me to go to bed, no matter what happened to be going on around me. Now things of course are changing and morning is becoming my favorite part of the day. On my days off, I no longer sleep in, I set my alarm and jump out of bed, ready to take full advantage of the day. My roommates tend to be late sleepers, so morning is really the only time I have to myself. I love to wake up slow, take a long shower, make a big healthy breakfast, sip on coffee, and expand my mind through some activity. I take this time to read, play guitar, blog, discover new music, clean the house, pay the bills, and just watch the sun rise. College has certainly created this new side to me, as I often have to get up before 6 am in order to make it to work or class. At the end of the day I am always exhausted by the days activities, but it's a good feeling, like the feeling you get after a workout. I think back to high school and middle school, where I spent half of my weekends sleeping, literally staying in bed for twelve hours at a time, what a waste! My parents are very much morning people, and now I'm starting to take after them. I would much rather spend my time awake while the sun is young and fresh, rather than when it is dying out. There is always room for improvement in our lives, seek it out.
"The sun came up with no conclusion
Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city's cemetery's humming
I’m wide-awake, it’s morning"
