1. Naps are always there when you need them.

There's nothing like coming back from an 8am class and seeing your warm bed waiting for you. Or really coming back from anything and seeing a warm bed waiting for you.

2. Naps do not judge how you look.

Sometimes your day has been pretty rough. Your hair might be messy, your makeup may have smudged, but a nap will never tell you. Your roommate might after you wake up, but a nap will just shrug and be like "same."

3. Naps have zero problems with cuddles.

Imagine if there was someone who was always always always willing to cuddle. That is essentially a nap. Sometimes boyfriends just don't want to cuddle. When this is the case, a nice nap will suffice.

4. Naps never want you to go.

Honestly, what girl doesn't want a good ole' hour long nap? Everyone does, but sometimes this doesn't work out. Waking up will always stink, but at least you had the nap at all.

5. Naps can help you be healthier.

Headache? Nap. Have a cold? Nap. There are so many things that a few extra minutes of sleep can do for your body. If you are feeling off, give your body a break. Take a nap.

6. Naps don't demand you to explain how you feel.

Say you just had the worst morning ever, a nap will not ask you why you are in a bad mood. It will not ask how the class went or how the meeting went. It just understands and is ready to be exactly what you need.

7. Naps are great for getting rid of stress.

As a college student, I can testify that there is nothing more satisfying than taking 30 minutes to not think about anything, but to just nap. It makes me forget all my worries.

8. Naps can help motivate you.

When you wake up from a nap, often you feel better and have more energy. This will motivate you to get all kinds of things done.

9. Naps make you more alert.

By heading off sleepiness, you will be more alert. Especially if you didn't get enough sleep the night before, a quick snooze will be the perfect fix.

10. Naps always make your day a million times better.

Forget whatever your younger self told you, naps are everything. While you don't need a nap everyday, it is okay to need one now and then. Embrace the nap!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
