Ever have to practically drag yourself out of bed and to class? Ever wish that the weekend could last 4 days instead of 2? Ever got a severe case of laziness when it comes to school? You’ve got the MORNING BLUES! Here are the top three reasons why students heavy-heartedly come to class (or sometimes even skip it!) And three ways to fix your morning blues as quickly as possible!
Killer teacher
Maybe it’s the way your teacher randomly asks questions at random times, making you feel like a deer caught in the headlights. Maybe it’s the way he sets up such strict rules. . .
Quick Fix:
Be prepared! There’s nothing that you can’t handle if you’re ready. Counter-act his actions! If he likes to bombard the class with questions, study the night before you’ll be able to answer it in a cinch. If you want to beat his no-tardiness rule, make sure you leave early for school to avoid traffic jams.
‘Stomach-ache’
There are times when you get a stomach-ache from just thinking about a certain class. Actually, the more you think about it, the more your stomach hurts! And now your head starts throbbing, too!
Quick Fix:
This is a case of psychosomatic illness. You’re trying to convince yourself that you’re sick, so you can feel less guilty about skipping a class. A great remedy: think positive! Its cliché, but when you give yourself a positive boots, you’ll feel better prepared to tackle any probs.
Unfinished reports, assignments, etc.
A common scenario: a lab report is due within several hours, but you’ve got a class in 15 minutes! Racing with time, you decide to skip class to finish that report.
Quick Fix:
By missing a class, you’re missing out on firsthand information from your lecturer, even though you can copy your friend’s notes later. It’s a terrible waste! An easy way to solve this prob is to apply better time management. Instead of cramming your reports on its due date, be sure to finish it on the day before. Stick a reminder up on a billboard in your room, or write it down on your organizer, any place where it’s easy for you to see.
