Joe's tips for freshman #28: Get an alarm clock that works and is really, really loud and annoying. Missing class because you didn't wake up just sucks. After all, if you need sleep you can sleep in class without being counted absent.
Yeah, missing class because you slept late really stinks, and stinks even more is realizing that you're going to be late for your next class and putting on shoes that are impossible to run in and ending up with blisters.. so... yeah :p
At one point I had several alarm clocks in different places around the room (so I'd have to get up out of bed to turn them off), staggered so that one went off every few minutes. It was a necessity. LOL. Eventually I did get a nice big loud one with a giant time display (and a snooze button, eliminating the need for staggering several clocks), but I think I still had backup. SO important to make it to morning classes! :-)
