Alarm clock

It’s early, you’re tired, you don’t want to get out of bed for any reason. You know you don’t have anything until 10 so why not sleep? Within a couple of minutes you work up the courage to get up stumble into the bathroom and put your contacts in without taking too long, the day is about to begin. You make your way downstairs, grab a nutrigrain bar and slowly make your way to the garage. Little bits of light start to seep in when you open the garage and a gush of frigid morning air comes in…

I woke to the sound of my alarm clock going off, “Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.” It was 7:00 in the morning; the usual time I get up to go to school, but like usual I slam on the snooze button and sleep for another five minutes. After hitting the snooze button three times I finally got up. Today is the day, our first doubleheader of the season is against Rockford. The coach is starting me at left field and it is my first game ever starting in high school game. I’m a Sophomore at Atwood High School; my…

The alarm clock wakes me up early in the morning. I want to sleep more. But I have to leave my bed. Then I go to the bathroom. I brush my teeth. I take a bath, get out the shower dry myself up, and wrap my towel around my body. I go back into my bedroom and sit in my chair, where my dresser is to do my hair. I always like to to do big sexy curls for work, and make sure my hair looks very big, and puffy. So I always use my straighter to curl my hair, it always last longer if I use my straighter.…

I wake up to the sound of my alarm on my phone ringing. I consider myself a morning person, as getting up is always pretty easy. I suppose this is because I know if I don't get up and get to my classes, I'll fail. I didn't used to be a morning person until I almost failed eighth grade, so it made sense. Even though it was Monday, I was still up on time. I know most people have trouble getting up on Mondays in particular, but not me. I had picked my outfit the night before, so showering and…

electronics include, a computer/laptop, printer, an alarm clock, cell phone and a surge protector. These items are not necessary for school, but more of a want. The students can utilize the school library for all of their electronics. However, if the student had their own, then they don’t have to share or go to the library to complete assignments. Also, a cell phone is more of a convenient than a need because all public buildings have phones. The alarm clock may seem more like a need, but we…

With the guilt of knowing I will not reach eight hours of sleep tonight, I force my brain to shut down, and darkness envelopes me. The next day drags on and soon find myself falling captive to my bed once more. A fire alarm blares and I jolt off my bed, only to realize that my alarm had gone off. Race day has arrived. Heart pumping, I snatch my prepared outfit for the day and quickly hop into the shower. After I am clean…

Every morning my alarm goes off with it’s usual perky and uplifting beat. I can only assume that the person who created this arousing tune had the intention of waking one up feeling fresh, revitalized, and ready to take on the day. The reality is, it does the complete opposite, it makes me want to cover myself in enough blankets and pillows until I can finally drown out the horrendous noise. Instead I reluctantly force myself out of bed at an ungodly time and drive to Oak Grove elementary school…

I woke up to the rapid buzzing of my phone on my nightstand. I grabbed it with haste as I sat up in my bed. I struggled to read the bold text on my phone screen as the bags under my eyes formed gradually. The text read, “HEY, MIKEY, I JUST FOUND THIS INCREDIBLE BARBECUE PLACE.” It was 2:00am in the morning on a Tuesday. I replied with a congratulations and went back to sleep imagining the sweet barbecue sauce in my mouth. That next morning, I woke up and went to school. After school I had agreed…

As I wake up to the blinding, beating, scorching sun on my face I hear the clashing of plates and a distant yet familiar rhythm coming from what I assume is the kitchen. I groggily attempt to grab my phone to check the time when I clumsily slam my phone onto the floor. Scrambling out of bed I pick up my phone only to figure out it’s 9:17 in the morning. I sneakingly walk to the kitchen barefooted to see what all the commotion is when my mother quickly catches my not so sneaky footsteps and yells…

turn in bed and glimpse down at the luminous phone in my pitch black bedroom. While picking my phone up, I see that Tristan messaged me and said "Get up! I'll be there in 5 minutes to pick you up! The waves are firing!", I instantly look towards the clock to see that I overslept. I immediately fling myself out of bed and rush into my still dark bathroom as I quickly brush my teeth and put my bathing suit on. I run over to the window to see if Tristan is here yet, but I can't focus on anything…
