Confessions Of A Frequent Napper

Throughout the life as a college student, naps become a vital part of some students' days. As busy as days can get, there always seems to be room for a nap. As a person who likes to nap all the time, here are some confessions that you should be able to relate to.

1. 12-minute naps

In college, your schedule can be very hectic and there are so many things to do. Fortunately, you learn to nap during the free time you do have. Whether you have an hour or 12 minutes to catch up from the lack of sleep you got the night before, it is ALWAYS worth it!

2. Nap in the evening and sleep through the night

Now, I am the type of person that will nap no matter what time it is. It can be 8 p.m. at night and I will still want to take a nap. In the past, I have taken a 15 minute power nap in between study sessions to keep myself going. Not only can I take a nap in the evening, but I can also sleep through the night with no problem whatsoever. Now that is a talent.

3. Napping becomes part of your daily routine

Because naps are such a vital part of a college student's life, napping can become a part of their daily routine. You wake up for class and already know when you can squeeze a nap in. In between your classes, you come home just to squeeze in a nap. In order to be on time for your next class, you time your naps by setting an alarm. It isn't strange to you because it's a normal part of your day, unlike someone who doesn't take naps often.

4. You're a night owl

Naps give you the energy to push through your day, no matter how long it may be. From sports practice to a late night of studying, naps are important. Your love of sleep may cause you to become a night owl.

5. No one understands how you can do it

Do you have those friends who question your napping? Your friends may think you have no life because you nap so frequently when, in reality, napping is just one of your main priorities.

6. Decline plans because you want to nap instead

It is true that you nap a lot when you decline plans with a friend by saying you're too busy, but just end up taking a nap. Sometimes you would just rather be alone... in your bed... cuddled up in your blankets.

7. People say you get too much sleep

The ones who are questioning your naps are the same ones who say you get too much sleep. They are probably just jealous, because who doesn't want to sleep a lot? Forget the haters, keep on napping!

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.
