Staying awake is a hard life.

Sleep is the best thing ever. I know it sounds like a stretch, but I don't remember the last time I was actually wide awake. Picture a type A person who's quick to get out of bed, start the day the way they planned it out, eat breakfast, and is all jumpy from the cup of coffee they drank. Now picture the exact opposite kind of person. That person is me.

1. You have to get up.

Nothing is worse than getting out of bed. It means waking up, the opposite of sleeping. That's not enjoyable.

2. What is breakfast?

I don't think I've had a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast with a glass of orange juice since I was in middle school. I eat a small late lunch, we're talking around the 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. time zone, a big dinner, and a second smaller dinner at around midnight.

3. Opening your eyes is often times the hardest task ahead.

The urge to drift off into a deep slumber is so strong. The only way to fully wake me up is to jolt me suddenly.

4. Biggest pet peeve: People not turning off the lights.

They say the world needs more love. I can assure you, I will love you till I'm on my deathbed if you just turn off the lights where I'm sleeping so it's pitch black. The darker the better.

5. You can't tell if it's a dream or real life 100 percent of the time.

Even right now as I type this article, I'm not sure if I'm actually awake.

6. Naps are your best friend.

I have the super power of being able to nap anywhere. On the floor, in a car, on a bed of nails.

7. You could sleep now or sleep later but you can't have both.

The world forces me to do other things like talk to people, go to school, and put clothes on. If I had it my way in my utopia, I would be asleep for at least twelve hours a day. That's 50% of the day. Yeah, I passed calculus.

8. You look high.

I've had people come up to me and say, "Dude, when I first met you I thought you were on something." I guess I just got that look. Yeah...that one.

9. Your favorite hours are from midnight to 5:00 a.m.

Because that's when everyone shuts up and I can actually think.

10. You miss out on everything.

It's not that I don't realize that I could hang out with friends, do homework, go on adventures, and plan for my future. It's that I choose to sleep instead.

11. People call you out (for being tired).

Didn't you hear? Looking awake is so 2015.

12. Even when you know you're about to go to sleep, you're aware that you're eventually going to have to wake up.

That's why it's best to live in the moment, or in my case, in my dreams.

And with that, happy sleeping and good night!

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.
