8 Things Night Owls Suddenly Need To Do After Midnight, Besides Sleeping

You're down for anything or nothing at all.

There are two kinds of people in this world: morning birds and night owls. Personally, I will never be a morning bird. I have found that it is physically impossible for me to wake up before 9 a.m. and go to sleep earlier than 12:30 a.m.; I give serious props to anyone who can wake up early and go to bed early. From years of staying up late, I've realized that a number of things can occur after midnight and that I'm probably not the only night owl who has experienced this before.

1. You feel like organizing and cleaning.

I'm not sure why, but late at night, I've had urges to organize and clean my room, school assignments, and get my life together. Where was this motivation when I needed it during the day?

2. You scroll aimlessly through your social media networks.

Or just through all your apps. When you're alive and awake, no one else is, so what other options do you have to go through your apps, camera roll, and every social media outlet you have?

3. You randomly get hungry.

You'll just be chilling in bed, and then all the sudden you get hungry. Then you make an escape plan on how to leave your room and sneak downstairs for a snack without waking up anyone, with it being three in the morning.

4. The YouTube addiction becomes real.

Once again, it's because it's late and you're bored. You first start light, probably with a Jimmy Kimmel interview or a music video. But with YouTube being YouTube, you get sucked into watching puppy videos and more.

5. You desperately wish someone was awake to go on a late night adventure with you.

It's similar to cleaning your room — you just have the urge to get up and do something, and in this case, it's late night exploring.

6. That feeling of shock when you remember some people's bedtime is 10 PM or earlier.

How can one go to sleep that early? How does your body work like that?

7. You catch yourself asking questions or thinking deep thoughts.

You'll just be laying in bed and then BANG. What am I going to wear tomorrow? What does this person think of me? Who created music? Sometimes the questions and thoughts are deep, some are randomly stupid.

8. When you finally decide to go to sleep, you realize you're going to regret staying up this late in the morning.

Especially if you need to be up early the next morning. No matter how hard you try to fall asleep somewhat early, it never happens. Even if you have the opportunity to sleep in, you still feel a pang of guilt because you know you won't wake up until noon and half the day has already passed. But sleep is for the weak, right?

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.
