7 Signs You're A Night Owl

There is more to being a night owl than staying up late.

You've probably heard the term throughout your life. A night owl, someone who stays up all night and sleeps all day. Well, that's how it would work in a perfect world, but night owls rarely get to sleep all day. Different commitments like jobs and school prevent these people from their desired sleep schedule. Here are a few signs that you are one of these individuals.

1. It’s easier to stay awake until 6 am (not wake up at 6 am.)

Any night owl can attest, it is WAY easier to stay up all night. Try to wake them up at the same time a different day? Good luck, you'll need it.

2. That 2:30 feeling comes around 6:30 at night.

It is so easy to stay up late because you're tired at 6:30, not an acceptable time to go to bed, but fully awake at midnight. Why not just stay up and be productive at that point?

3. You can sleep until noon any day of the week.

Along with being a night owl comes the inability to be a morning person. That being said, morning includes any time with an AM attached to the end.

4. You see more of the moon than the sun.

Since you're up so late all the time, you basically become nocturnal. You rise with the moon and set with the sun.

5. College did not help your sleep schedule.

If you're in, have been, or will be in college, you will come to understand that college in no way, shape, or form makes it easier to be a morning person. You can schedule your classes to be as late as possible, and then you can stay up as late as you can.

6. You’re the last one awake among friends and family.

Night owls tend to be the last one awake at night and the last one awake the next day. You can sit and watch as all of your friends try to keep up with you. They never succeed, and you get to laugh at their inability to stay awake. They're the ones laughing the next morning when they have to drag you out of bed.

7. You’re dead on your feet most days.

Since the world does not conform to night owl's sleep schedule, you are usually tired all the time. Any chance you get, you take a nap because you need that extra 15 minutes to get you to 10:30 then you're wired.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
