Waking up at 4 AM is very healthy, actually
If you’ve spent any time on the cut you’ve been hounded by upperclassmen who do buggy asking you how tall you are (not a catcall, for the record). You’re in CIT and not one of the lucky few under 5’ 2’’, you’ve been asked to be a mechanic. Now I’m sure you’ve been told about some of the benefits; a great community, parties, hands on experience, parties, engineering experience, and parties. I’m here to tell you the real benefits of being a mechanic: waking up at 4 am.
Do you have problems sleeping? Worry no more. After a few weeks of rolls, you’ll find you can sleep anywhere. Mechanics can be found snoozing on the back of pickup trucks and up against light poles! Is it possible for Buggy to truly be a CMU tradition without sleep deprivation?
The average CMU student only drinks two cups per day. Coffee consumption for buggy mechanics over the weekend is double that! Worried your heart isn’t beating? To be conscious during the day you’ll be consuming so much coffee you’ll never doubt it’s not working again!
Waking up at 4 am both days of the weekend for months at a time is very healthy, actually. Before coming to CMU the last time I went to sleep at 9 pm was elementary school, now it’s every weekend.
