10 Confessions From A Sleepaholic

In This Article:

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!

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
