10 Confessions From A Sleepaholic

I've always been a big sleeper. As a kid, I thought I slept a lot because I was growing. As a teenager, I thought it was because of being physically and mentally drained from both working and going to school. In college, I thought it was because of depression. Now, during this quarantine, I realized I just enjoy sleeping. Here are my ten things all sleepaholics can relate to.

1. Staying up all night is the last thing you want to do

Giphy

No, I don't want to sacrifice my sleep to hang out with friends longer or cram for an exam.

2. There's a "magic number" of hours of sleep per night you need to feel rested

Giphy

While most of my friends seem to sleep a range of six to nine hours, I'm not going to wake up feeling refreshed until I hit the 10.5 hour mark, or more.

3. You probably take too many and too long of naps

Giphy

During quarantine, I've been taking one nap a day which usually lasts for two and a half hours.

4. People don't panic if you don't text them back right away

Giphy

The amount of times I've seen a missed call or text and responded with, "Omg I'm so sorry I was sleeping" and the person responds with "I figured" is way too high.

5. Always being the first one asleep and last one awake at sleepovers

Giphy

I swear I'm not bored, just tired.

6. Missing meals because you wanted to sleep

Giphy

Sorry guys, don't count on me being at the family dinner tonight.

7. Counting how many hours of sleep you're going to get each night

Giphy

"If I finish chem by 9:00 pm, I could be asleep by 10:00 pm, and that would be 10 hours."

8. Snoozing your alarm multiple times in the morning

Giphy

Alarms aren't fun for anyone to wake up to, but especially if you're a sleepaholic.

9. People asking why you sleep so much

Giphy

Some people just need more sleep.

10. Your parents reaching the point where they just accept your sleeping habits

Giphy

It only took 20 years, but I think they finally understand.

Here are 10 things most sleepaholics can relate to. Being a sleepaholic during this quarantine is our time to shine. Keep calm and sleep on!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
