The Chronicles of A Night Owl

If you stay up late at night, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

The Chronicles of A Night Owl
Nightowl Nashville

Since moving to school and becoming a "full-fledged adult"; I have been given the opportunity to make my own decisions and manage my own time. Let's just say I'm still getting the hang of it. Anyone who knows me can tell you I am not a morning person so here is the struggle of night owls in college.

You stay up as late as your body will let you.

Before you know it you have spent hours on your phone, watching TV or even finishing up homework/studying.

You set your MULTIPLE alarms knowing tomorrow morning will be the death of you.


When you have an 8 am you calculate how long you could sleep before knowing you're going to bed late. Then you proceed to set several alarms knowing the first won't do the trick.

Then you FINALLY sleep.

The best feeling in the world. Period.

The dreaded first alarm goes off.

At this point you hear a faint noise in the background, but you're in denial so you just try to ignore the satanic noise.

Warning: The Anger Begins

The denial is over and the rage begins. You literally just closed your eyes and now you have to get up.

Nope, not yet..

You can't you just can't it can't be true. It is still WAY to early.

Oh Shoot!!!

And now it's too late.... You have 20 minutes until your class starts. Good Luck! You're going to need it.

Run Forrest Run!

Honestly if you make it to class man oh man kudos to you.

In the nick of time..

You won today (barely).... so until next time try to stay awake!

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.
