I wanna buy one and be like those kids from those movies who use alarm clocks to wake up every morning to get ready for school (even though I graduated a few years back but still!)
I used to have one with the little metal thing that rapidly bangs on the two metal ears of the clock, you know, a typical old fashioned alarm clock. It really isn't pleasant to wake up to...I prefer my phone because it's so easy to set up, it's easy to snooze, you can make multiple alarms, you can see it in the dark, you can change its volume, etc. The old alarm clock is essentially what a type writer is to a computer, useless and archaic.
I've nearly missed exams because of it
