Etiquette: Mornings

By Gregory B. Johnston
For the average college student, mornings can be one of the trickiest and most frustrating times of day. If one happens to be awake between the hours of 7:00 and 10:00 a.m., there is a 85% chance that one is highly annoyed with the behavior of someone else who is awake between those hours (sleepers tend not to cause trouble). In order to avoid early morning hatred for friends, blockmates, and not-so-innocent bystanders, you should first identify the type of riser with whom you are interacting and proceed to practice proper morning etiquette accordingly. At a time when it is so very easy to offend, it is essential to proceed with extreme caution.
