6 Confessions Of A Perpetually Tired Teen Girl

Whatever happened to naptime?

6 Confessions Of A Perpetually Tired Teen Girl
Benknope

30 minutes or 30 hours. No amount of sleep is ever enough for me. Between 20 credit hours of course work, writing, working, being a part of multiple organizations, side projects, resume building, having a social life, and taking care of basic human functions (why do humans have to consume food and water?), I am always busy and always tired.

1. I live on a system of alarms.


(from giphy.com)

My friends know about the alarms that go off during the day to warn me to get to class. However, they don't know about the threatening series of alarms that are meant to help me to wake up. Lately, I've been crashing as soon as I get home, so I also need a reminder to get up and complete my homework.

Yes. Actual, screenshots of my alarms.


2. My diet largely consists of coffee, Red Bull and caffeinated tea.


(from giphy.com)

When I first tasted coffee, I thought it tasted like sadness and death. Red Bull was what I imagined carbonated urine would taste like. Sugarless tea used to make me feel sick. Now I drink black coffee, zero calorie/sugar Red Bull and sugarless tea with a caffeine charged smile.


3. I don't have sexual fantasies, I just day dream about sleeping all day.

(from giphy.com)

When I have time, my mind wanders. I think about sneaking out of class, running into the garage, getting into my car, driving home, opening the door, running to my room, taking off all of my clothes, jumping into bed, and sleeping for a solid four days. My form of sexting is just, "If you were here, God, I'd sleep on you so hard!"


4. I'm really jealous of bears.

(from giphy.com)

Why can't humans hibernate? I feel like I've earned this. I deserve it. Wtf, evolution? I'll trade you my appendix for the ability to hibernate.


5. Sometimes I stop mid-sentence because I can't remember what I was even thinking about.

(from giphy.com)

Like this one time… never mind.


6. I'll pretty much sleep anywhere.

(from giphy.com)

I'm a commuter, but a lot of my commitments require me to be at school for sometimes 12 hours. I've slept in my car and a community sofa. I've even huddled under someone's desk. It was sad. It was pathetic. But it was a satisfying nap.

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.
