Daylight Savings Time Just Started Again and I'm Already Tired

Time is one of the things we just don’t have control over, so what makes us feel like we need to.

Oh, time change, you are back again.

I still don’t understand you and you are definitely my least favorite calendar holiday. I have a hard-enough time know what time it is already and right when my body clock is adjusted, you take away an hour of my time. That is an entire episode of This Is Us (with commercials) that you are taking away from me.

I am a college student and I prioritize my sleep. It is hard enough to get up before 8 already, now it is going to feel like I’m getting up before 7? No thank you.

Also, I know it is meant to give us more hours of daylight, but if you give the Earth a chance to catch up, it will get light on its own. Why take an hour away from us if you are just going to give it back in November? Also, it happens on a different day every year and the only other holidays that do that are Easter and Thanksgiving and at least on those holidays, I get a good meal out of it. The world doesn’t even all participate and we all share the same sun. If I was vacationing in Arizona and Daylight Savings Time starts, it’s just a normal day. Then you come back home, and you are even more mixed up.

My point is that I don’t quite understand why we feel the need to turn our clocks back in forth twice a year. I’m all for “springing forward” into a new season, but either don’t let us “fall back” or just stop observing the holiday altogether. Time is one of the things we just don’t have control over, so what makes us feel like we need to. I’m going to close now because I’m sleepy. However, for all my fellow anti-Daylight Savings Time peoples, hang in there, November is only 7 months away.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
