10 Signs You Are Definitely Sleep Deprived

From the Experienced College Student

10 Signs You Are Definitely Sleep Deprived
Hernan Sanchez

Okay, so you caught me... this week I finally got so sleep deprived I actually didn't shower for 3 days because it seemed like too much effort. I also wore a sweater backward all day long and I'll-be-damned if the wall doesn't move at 4 pm in the afternoon after I have been up for what seems like 36 hours straight.

Yes, I am not writing this list because I thought oh wow college students need to hear the signs of sleep deprivation. I am writing this from a week (+) worth of experience and boy should you be warned. Once you get it all fixed and you get to sleep again.... all is right with the world.

- Love your favorite sleep-deprived writer/college student.


1. You never know what day it is.

Sometimes it's Wednesday when it's Friday and sometimes it's Friday when it's Wednesday.

2. You are always hungry and eating.

Literally, you always want food. Everything sounds good at all hours of the day.

3. You see things that are not there.

Sometimes the wall moves. Sometimes there is an extra shadow that you see.

4. You start crying over running out of milk when you wanted cereal.

Your emotions are completely out of whack and you cry or get mad at things that are silly.

5. Your eyes start to blur every once in a while and you feel like your eye balls are dirty.

Sometimes after no sleep, your brain forgets to function properly.

6. You don't realize that you put your sweater and underwear on inside out, until 4 pm after you've worn them all day.

7. You become more clumsy.

The wall jumps out of nowhere as you walk into it. Or that chair leg that's always there seems to be in your way suddenly because you stub your toe.

8. You find yourself zoning out in mid conversation or thought and staring at an object but not seeing it at all.

9. You totally look hung over when you are not.

10. The simplest things like taking a shower feel like too much effort.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
