11 Situations Any Nap Lover Knows All Too Well

Taking a nap sounds so childish. I prefer to call them "horizontal life pauses".

11 Situations Any Nap Lover Knows All Too Well
Dump A Day

When I was younger, I was notorious for refusing to nap. My exhausted mother tried everything to make me fall asleep; soft music, warm milk, drives around the block... but nothing worked. Eighteen years later, I pride myself in my ability to nap anywhere and everywhere. Here are a few things any self-described "nap-oholic" will be able to relate to.

1. Promising yourself you'd only sleep for half an hour, but then waking up three hours later in a daze.

Let's be honest. You knew this would happen.

2. Waking up to a phone full of notifications from friends wondering where you went.

I've seriously contemplated changing my voicemail message to "Sorry, I was napping".

3. Falling asleep nice and cozy in a sweatshirt but then waking up feeling like you're stuck in the seventh circle of hell.

4. If you're late to something, everyone knows why.

And no, I do not need to re-evaluate my priorities. Naps are a necessity.

5. Finding "sleep lines" on your face after falling asleep against a textured surface.

You're supposed to wake up relaxed and refreshed. Instead, you're filled with the fiery rage of ten thousands suns.

7. Trying to wake up your legs before you crawl out of your nap nest.

It's even worse when you're napping in a loft bed and have to somehow navigate your way down a flimsy ladder with jelly legs.

8. When someone is being too loud for you to take your daily nap.

Is now REALLY the time to vacuum?

9. Not being able to understand people who never take naps.

What kind of witchcraft do they use?

10. Avoiding certain activities because they conflict with your nap time.

2:00 PM yoga class? Nope, sorry. I'll be on my way to nap city by then.

11. Waking up horribly confused and unable to remember where you are, what time it is, or what century you're in.

Was it just a nap, or did you actually fall into a tear in the space-time continuum for a while? The world may never know.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
