it’s a children’s alarm clock and not very chic, but i think it’s cute. it also has a nice warm yellow light. i used to have a 1981 cassette radio alarm clock which i loved, until the tape player destroyed one of my tapes

pretty sure i saw someone on here rec a clock radio instead of a phone alarm... now i don't open my eyes and immediately look at my phone and instead enjoy the classical and jazz from the college radio station in the morning. yes this ancient beast has a terrible speaker but the form factor is unrivaled

“but shadowbeni, how can I keep my phone out of my bedroom if I need an alarm to wake up?”
get your tuckus over to eBay and search around for some vintage alarm clock radios. There are so many and some are incredibly cool. search reddit for some suggestions on sound quality, make sure you read the seller descriptions carefully (sometimes they’re just selling for parts, can also ask them to send a video of it working) and find a vibey machine with some character that will get you outta bed with a buzz or some tunes from your local commercial-free listener-supported radio.
I got the Proton 320. It may not look like much but I love it for the green and blue lights, the bass and sound quality. I woke up to The Smashing Pumpkins today.

i’m needing to remind myself that being odd and dressing uniquely is not a bad thing. going back to university and not knowing anyone in my classes while also showing up in a full tweed suit or a tetris cardigan or a long brocade jacket is okay. don’t let the uniqueness leave you just because people give you strange looks.
be more like the girl that dresses in head to toe lolita coords every day. or the guy that came to class dressed as soulja boy for no particular reason. get weird with it!!
