Morning prep
My morning prep as a student was never one specific routine, it really depended on the day, my mood, and how early (or late) I managed to get out of bed. There were some days I felt on top of the world, woke up early, did everything smoothly, and got to class in time. But honestly, those days were rare compared to the chaos that usually happened.
Let’s start with the alarm. I always set it, hoping to wake up early and start my day right. But most times, when it rings, I either snooze it or turn it off completely, telling myself five more minutes. Before I know it, those five minutes turn to thirty, and I’m rushing like crazy, and the whole thing begin to affect my day.
One of the biggest parts of my morning drama was choosing what to wear. I don’t know why, but picking an outfit always took me the longest time. I could stand in front of my wardrobe for almost an hour, trying on clothes, removing them, changing my mind, and going back to the very first outfit I rejected. Some days I even wished I had a school uniform just to escape the stress of deciding what to wear 😩.
After struggling with clothes, I’d rush to take a bath, brush my teeth, and sometimes, I barely had time for breakfast.
There were days I skipped it completely and just get some biscuits or snacks in school. But on good days, when I woke up early and had things under control, I’d take a proper bath, prepare breakfast, eat calmly, clean and even try to do some order random stuffs before leaving for class. Those days made me feel like a real adult.😁
There were also days I'd wake up in a serious christian mood, I will do my devotion, and if it comes with good will that day, it'd be a day full of songs and praises, while trying to clean and also prepare, and that mood remains till the day ends😊
There were also funny days where I’d dress up fully, only to realize I forgot something important like my ID card or something else and had to run back in. It was never really a perfect routine, but looking back, it was all part of the student life experience.
My morning prep was a mix of seriousness and comedy, and though it wasn’t always smooth, it always got me ready to face the day, one way or the other.
