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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
