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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
