11 Things Only Perpetually Tired People Will Understand

Those who are perpetually tired have a deep love/need of sleep even if they seem to never get any. We all have our reasons, but there are certainly universal truths that we all relate to on a deep level.

1. Everywhere looks like a perfectly good place to take a nap.

You name it, you can most definitely nap there.

2. Caffeine is the only way you can function with the rest of society.

Bonus points if the barista knows your order.

3. Trying to get through an entire movie without falling asleep is a struggle.

When was the last time you actually watched a whole movie all the way through?

4. Your alarm clock is the only reason you make it to things on time and even then you have to be careful not to sleep through it.

Also, where can I get this alarm clock?

5. You find yourself getting jealous of your pets that get to sleep all day.

6. No amount of makeup can hide the bags under your eyes (not that that keeps us from trying).

7. You calculate exactly how late you can sleep in.

And still give yourself enough time to get ready and be wherever you need to be -- down to the very last second.

8. You're not a night person or a day person, you're just a tired person.

9. All you really want in life is someone who will take naps with you.

10. You have taken the saying, "Fake it till you make it" to an entire new level.

Your version goes like, "Fake being awake until you can take a nap."

11. You need whatever this is.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
