A Word of Advice: Alarm Ringtones

We're sure many of you have heard from other people that you should NEVER use your favourite song as your alarm ringtone. We're just writing this to double confirm that those people are not in any, ANY, way wrong.

We understand that nowadays teenagers are very much into K-Pop. For those who are into it, you would most probably be familiar with the song History by EXO. And for those of you who don't... 


Our cousin, Ana, used to really like this song, and thought that it would make her mornings brighter. Theoretically, listening to your favourite song in the morning can be a really pleasant thing. Apparently, that's not the case here. For as long as we've been living together, every morning is living hell. The intro to the song has been long etched in our minds, the dubsteb drumbeats and the seductive "Listen" making us shiver in fear. Poor Ana, who can no longer jam to her favourite song, feeling sorry for herself, and us who she dragged along. 

That is, sadly, not the end of it. For a couple of times we've heard this song in public, and never did that song fail to haunt us for the rest of the day. It would cause us to freeze for a very short moment, and die inside. Do you want to feel that way for a song you once labelled your favourite?

Some of you might think that we're overreacting and that if it really bothers us that much, we should just go change our alarm ringtone to something else. Well, we've tried that, and we ended up oversleeping and hence missed school. It's like our minds have been set to wake up under that song's call. We have no choice but to stick with that song. And we're not looking forward to tomorrow morning at all.

Trust us, you don't want to know the pain.
