The narrator reflects on their challenging experience of transitioning to hostel life, where they face the daily responsibility of waking up and deciding whether to attend classes without their mother to help them. Despite planning for a productive morning routine that includes jogging, showering, and eating breakfast, the reality is that when the alarm rings, the desire to sleep takes over. The narrator finds themselves hitting the snooze button repeatedly, ultimately rushing to class without completing any of their intended activities. This struggle is common among students who often think they can spare a few more minutes of sleep, despite knowing that following a routine would improve their lives. The narrator questions why maintaining a morning routine is so difficult, acknowledging factors like staying up too late as a significant issue. They conclude that even if they go to bed earlier, they might still fail to wake up on time, hinting at a deeper issue with motivation and habits.
