Nobody likes being perpetually late. And college classrooms are the worst place to be tardy. You might get a stern look of disapproval from your professor while the students who managed to get there on time silently scoff at your irresponsibility.
You might wonder, “Why is it that everybody else can show up on time, but I can’t?” There are a lot of different reasons why people are late. See if you can identify what type of late person you are and how you can fix it:
If you have a tendency to set your alarm earlier than you need to, factoring in the possibility of hitting snooze and still getting to class on time, then there’s your problem. Face it: you don’t have the discipline to hit snooze once or twice. Instead, you just keep hitting it until panic sets in when you realize class has already started.
There are some extreme cases where people fall so deeply to sleep that they don’t even hear the alarm, let alone have the chance to hit snooze.
Sometimes the problem isn’t that you sleep too much but that you can’t get to sleep at all and by the time morning rolls around and you’ve finally dropped off, the last thing you want to do is rouse yourself out of your restfulness and head to class.
This can mean anything from you can’t find your socks because your room is too messy to you don’t even know when your classes are.
If the problem is that you can’t keep track of your commitments, then it’s time to start using a day planner or calendar. Google Calendar is a simple and easy system to use. It can sync with your phone and send you alerts before an event so you don’t have to miss classes, meetings and appointments anymore.
Are you the class president, captain of the cross-country team, in the chess club and work a part time job? Your problem definitely isn’t laziness – it’s that you have too much going on.
Use these tips to avoid being late for class. And if you still can’t do anything to get up on time, at least, try these believable excuses for being late so that you professor trusts you.
