Having trouble waking up for class? Try an alarm clock.

It is important to keep in mind the individual nature of every person's morning ritual. Some people wake up to the slightest noise; others sleep through hurricanes.
It is also helpful to consider potential solutions to many alternative living situations. An example: Jessica and Jamie are roommates and got along very well. Pretty much the only difference of opinion they ever had was concerning their alarm clocks. Jessica had earlier classes than Jamie, so Jessica would set the alarm on her cell phone for whatever her ringtone was at the time. Jamie had an older alarm clock that just beeped repetitively and monotonously until turned off. Jessica slept through Hurricane Katrina. Jamie jumped awake if someone so much as whispered in the same room.
Moral of the story: to this day, Jamie cannot hear Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round" or Hilary Duff's "Wake Up" without cringing.
Again, everyone is different. It is important for students to keep an eye out for the specific manner of a-rising which is most effective per individual. Until then, here are the links for bus routes (transport.tamu.edu) and an on-campus map (campusmaps.tamu.edu). They will come in handy.
