Cooler Lifestyle

Ah, sleep. No matter what time of the day it is or who you are, one must admit that catching some z's is essential to a happy and healthy lifestyle. However, there are some of us who maybe love sleep a little too much, and there are some things that only us sleep lovers will understand:


1. A nap (or maybe two or three naps) a day sounds absolutely divine. Whoever said you shouldn't make napping a daily part of your schedule obviously never respected the power of a cat nap! Besides, you'll only be sleeping for 20 minutes ... which somehow turn into two hours.

2. You don't know what sounds more enticing, sleep or food. This is a legitimate struggle because the noodles from last night are pretty tempting, but, you'll probably be too lazy to get the food out in the kitchen anyways. And besides your bed is so comfortable, and getting up requires time and energy, and it's not too late yet ... right? So you guess sleep wins.

3. For some reason, you seem to be less tired when you're messing around but get more tired when you have work to do. Is this some type of game? And also, what are exams again?

4. When you say you're tired and someone points out that you slept for more than eight hours last night.

5. When you say you're going to pull an all-nighter and start getting sleepy around 12. And then you notice your bed and pillows and how comforting that looks- hmm, maybe the all-nighter can wait until tomorrow. Let's just sleep the day away.

6. When you have a long day and you think about how you can't wait until you get back home just so you can catch up on some z's. (Even though you have a lot more things to take care of too ... oops. Oh well!)

7. A common part of your conversation includes you saying, "I'm so tired" or "I'm going to sleep for days." And you mean it, too.

8. When you're at a sleepover and you're trying to sleep but nobody wants you to sleep. Because of this, you usually have to pretend like you're up even though you're secretly trying to wait until you can knock out and no one can bother you.

9. No matter what amount of alarms you have set and how much motivation you have to get your day started, you are very tempted to sleep straight through them. Sorry day, you just have to wait to get started until I'm fully awake.

10. When the number of times you're yawning is probably equivalent to the number of times you blink. (Okay maybe that's a slight bit of an exaggeration but seriously, whoever said yawning was contagious should have said it didn't stop either).

11. At the end of the day you can't wait to change into your pajamas and crash. Ah, the comfort of pjs.


12. You know that no matter how your day was, or how much work you have, sleeping can always temporarily postpone your issues and commitments. Talk about bae! Thanks sleep.

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.
