1. 8 AM Lecture

Products: Sweater – Banana Republic, Leggings – Gap, Shoes – DSW

During my first year of college, I had to take 8 am classes. I was fresh out of high school and used to getting up early, so thought I could handle it, but I learned the same thing every freshman does at this point… it was more difficult than I thought it would be to get up early.

Pro tip: Sometimes you can’t avoid early classes, but as you progress in your college career, you can typically minimize them on your schedule. And if you’re a freshman, I highly recommend avoiding them if possible.

If you do have an 8 am lecture, however, dressing up can help you feel a little better so early in the morning. Even if you throw on something casual like this look, you’ll feel much more productive than you would in the clothes you slept in.
