  When I was a senior high school student, I needed to get up at 5 o’clock to take buses everyday because of the remote school. After I got into college, I felt I can get more freedom than before. Therefore, I started to let myself loose. I did not almost go to the first class at eight o’clock, because I gradually cannot get up at six o’clock in the latest one year.

  I had a bad habit of doing things dilatorily. Every time after I came home, I was first used to playing computer, having a dinner and watching television. When I realized that I had homework to do, it was usually about ten or eleven o’clock. Then I would reluctantly sit at the desk, started to do what I should do. I did not finish my homework until the wee hours. A second cause was I did not find out my main goal in life. Getting up, going to school, taking classes, going home, having dinner, taking a shower and then going to bed – my life was completely occupied by these dull, fixed and regular trifles. I had never imagined how boring the life would be, just like having dishes without any condiment. Sometimes I would ponder long and deeply where my future was, what I should do. When I felt wearier of these trifles things, I was more easily be distracted by my amusements. A final cause is – I LOVE NIGHTS! I greatly enjoyed doing many things at a still and black night before I went to bed, such as listening to music or radio, reading novels, watching horror movies, chatting with my younger sister, or even just pondering about something. Sometimes I would do these things all night.
  However, I started to gradually break up the bad habit of staying up after I became a double-major student. Hence, the first point on my list of New Year’s Resolution is “Get up Early!” Needless to say, I did know the bad influence of staying up on human’s body before; yet the most decisive reason to make me change was – I have already found out my goal in life, the goal that could make me full of energy and hope, go ahead and do not hesitate. Therefore, I wanted to go back to the right pace, so I primarily changed the basic point – lifestyle. As a proverb goes – “The early bird catches the worm.” Morning is truly the most significant time in the whole daytime because human is >are clearest in the morning. We can do hundreds of meaningful thing effectively and energetically without disturbance before this world awakes from the dawn. Take myself as an example; I used to get up just a few hours before the classes began. I was always in a great hurry after being awake; therefore, I usually could not have a breakfast. Meanwhile, if there was a test then, I also did not have time to review. Everything is in hurry in order to get to class on time! Nevertheless, something changes after I start to get up early. I have time to enjoy my great breakfast, study, and go to school leisurely. Now I do know what I want, what person I want to be and how I should do, and get up much earlier than one year ago. Although sometimes I may still accidentally stay up and oversleep, I will try my best to thoroughly abandon that bad habit and have a brand new life.
