Hi all,
I wanted to ask for recommendations on what websites to read in the morning to 1) know what the current events are in the markets 2) to learn new things about the finance world.
Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!

WSJ, Dealbook, Dealbreaker,
WSJ, Dealbook, Dealbreaker, Financial Times, and WSO. Also, watch CNBC and Bloomberg TV simultaneously.
Also, it might not be a good idea to show your age and school in your signature. Not only is it douchey, but people will find out who you are, and it could hurt your career.

All good points. I've sketched out my reading routine below. The morning stuff I tend to read cover to cover. I also read pretty much everything on Dealbreaker, because it's hysterical. Note: this is as a college senior, who is planning on joining an IBD group after graduation.
My morning reading (inbox arrival times EST):
-UBS Economics morning note (by 3:30 am)
-Bond Buyer daily digest (by 4:30 am)
-The Gartman Letter (by 6 am)
-American Banker daily digest (by 8 am)
-Thomson Reuters morning note (by market open)
-Deakbook morning digest (by market open)
-Dealbreaker Opening Bell (by 10 am)
-Term Sheet (noon-ish)
Throughout the day:
-WSJ (the app is fantastic)
-Dealbook (especially items by Steven Davidoff, aka the "Deal Professor")
-Dealbreaker (Matt Levine does a great job of distilling complicated ideas, & is funny as well if you get his humor)
-My portfolio (via Bloomberg's, Reuters', & my brokerage's apps)
-WSO (honestly, less so more recently)
Weekly:
-Hedge Fund Alert (mostly for the "Grapevine")
-My brokerage's macro research (can get tedious, so I skim)
-Various equity research (individual stocks, industry guides, etc.)
-A few other product- & industry-specific newsletters (ask alum/network contacts for their favorites)
Ongoing:
-Various books (recent titles include The Big Short & When Genius Failed)
Pleasure reading (this is important, by the way - don't be a finance robot!):
-Literature (a lot by Hemingway lately)
-A few blogs (relating to my university, sports interests, funny stuff, etc.)

Props to these students looking to get ahead this way. I wish I was this smart when I was a freshman. Freshman year most mornings I was reading my text messages from the previous night to make sure I didn't drunk text 384752 girls.

The morning reading that I listed probably totals ~1.5 hour, which I'll read over breakfast, walking, between classes, etc., all on my phone.
That said, if you were to trim, my recommendation would be to keep the UBS note (it's succinct; max 2 min), the Gartman Letter (varies; ~15 min), American Banker (skim; ~5 min), Thomson Reuters (super worthwhile; ~10 min), Dealbook (varies; ~15 min), and Term Sheet (also great; ~10 min).
That makes for a total of approx 45 min, after which you will be informed on (in the same order) macro news, global markets, US financial industry, US equities, US i-banking, and US private equity & venture capital. Not a bad deal.

Hi Sandhurst. Are these free?
Hi Sandhurst.
Are these free? Also, I have googled UBS Econ morning notes and Reuters morning notes and there was no result.
Someone already mentioned
Someone already mentioned seeking alpha, but they have a wall street breakfast newsletter that will email you a quick breakdown every morning around 9. It can also be humorous at times.
I should have included these

Thanks so much Sandhurst for the replies.
Did you do a paid subscription to the Gartman Letter? For American Banker, Bond Buyer, it seems i need a business email or else I can't get them up and running.
Do advise if you can.
