"The morning is actually my favorite time of the day. Just the good time for me I enjoy ... It is not a problem for me, I am a morning person. I would come earlier if they begged me."
Similar to Bleithing, the student atmosphere seems to be a source of motivation for Rouse to come in every day. He said the students are one of the reasons that made him choose this job.
Finishing work early also has advantages: by doing so, he can enjoy his free time fishing, hunting, riding or playing music.
Senior Katie Sassenrath would agree with him. She has worked at the library since fall of her sophomore year, alternating early and late shifts depending on the semester.
"I think I prefer the morning shift, just because night shifts are usually the time I do homework," she said. "Plus, I would probably sleep 'til noon if I didn't have morning shift because I don't have classes in the morning."
To be on time at 8 a.m. for her early shift, Sassenrath wakes up around 7 a.m. She used to wake up even earlier for previous semesters.
"I did the opening before. The library opens at 7:30 a.m., meaning you have to be there at 7:15, and so I used to wake up at 6:30," Sassenrath said.
Like Bleithing and Rouse, Sassenrath considers herself a morning person.
"As long as I have coffee, it's not that bad," she said.
