Rise & Shine

I’m awake at an ungodly hour this morning — which for me means 8:15 — to tackle some work before the day truly begins. (Hey, I worked hard to get to senior year and be able to schedule my classes in the afternoon.) It made me think a) that I would much prefer to be curled up in this beautiful bedroom from the pages of Lonny, b) I’m grateful for coffee shop employees who understandingly offer an extra shot of espresso without me asking for it, and c) that waking up and seizing the day might actually be better than my usual night owl tendencies. What time does your alarm go off in the morning?
