Getting up early

While it's potentially tricky to manage, getting up early can also be fantastic! Personally, I hate mornings (see: four letter words), but I still try to get up early anyway.

I have to leave by 6:30 AM at the earliest, and 7 at the latest, though I attempt to haul my butt out of bed by 4 or 4:30. This ends up giving me around 3 hours of time for getting ready, and relaxing before I have to leave.

Being up before everyone else gives me some peace and quite that I really don't get at any other point once my day begins. Once I start getting ready, I have chores, school, homework, cooking, personal projects, and stuff to do for the rest of the day...

Which is all well and good, but it's also a pretty great feeling to have an hour or two before I have to do anything! And honestly, playing Minecraft and/or watch Star Trek once I'm ready to leave is awesome.

Additionally, getting up early acts as a safety net so that If I happen to oversleep, I'm not immediately late for school; When I do manage to get up right away though, there's plenty of time to prepare for the day, which is pretty sweet since it means I don't have to stress about anything in the morning.

I really do recommend trying it out if your schedule allows it. At worst, you'll find you can't manage it, and at best you'll have much more relaxing and enjoyable mornings.
