Monday mornings are the bane of every college student’s existence. After a late-night cram session and sleeping through four of your five alarms, it’s hard to find the motivation to pull on anything more interesting than sweats, let alone fix up something to eat before running to class in your remaining five minutes.  

Our new series, Lazy Mondays, going live on Sunday nights, aims to fix that problem and make you think twice before skipping breakfast or digging out your sweatpants from the laundry (again).  I’ll also add in some tips for organization to help you start your week on the right foot.

Outfit

If you’re tired of the same old black leggings you’ve worn down to the bone, throwing on a comfortable, fitted pair of pants can be an easy alternative. The ones shown above are made of a stretchy material and the placement of the seams lengthens your legs. If trousers seem a little daunting because they’ve been relegated to the part of your wardrobe you save for interviews, throwing on a fun graphic tee can quickly bring the outfit down a few notches.  

And don’t put away your slip-on sneakers, just yet. They were seen all over the runways and aren’t going anywhere in the foreseeable future. Good for us, since the lack of laces saves precious time. A cool hair accessory can add a lot to your overall look, so throw it onto your ponytail and forget about bad hair days.  

Didn’t have time for a shower or hair is past the point of no return for the day?  A beanie is the go-to solution, and bonus: it’ll keep your ears from freezing off on your way to class.

Breakfast

Overnight oatmeal is one of the easiest breakfast options out there. As the name suggests, you prepare the oats overnight, and they’re ready for you to grab and go. And the best part: there’s no cooking involved.
