As a young child, naps seemed like the most lame thing on the planet. However, as I get older, a nap is now one of my favorite parts of the day. Some people try to get in a 10-minute power nap once a week, while others may take a three-hour nap daily. My roommate would probably say I am definitely more on the extreme side of nap taking. Whenever I have a free moment, I am always down for a nap. Here are a few things that will make you realize that you are addicted to napping.

  • You sleep more during naps than during the actual night
  • You cancel plans so you can take a nap
  • If you have a break between classes, you reserve that time for a nap
  • You are thinking about your next nap as soon as you wake up from your previous one
  • Every movie time turns into nap time
  • If you don’t answer your phone, your friends know you are probably napping
  • You fall asleep doing various activities such as studying and eating
  • You rarely see the day light
  • You start having full length dreams during naps
  • Your favorite place on the planet is your bed
  • You can fall asleep anywhere, any time
  • Your friends know that if you didn't get your daily nap, you will probably be moody all day
  • Your roommate sees you asleep more than he/she sees you awake
  • You find yourself sharing memories about napping
  • You think that no time is too short for a nap
  • When you don't nap for a day, you probably have enough extra time in the day to paint the Sistine Chapel and develop the cure for cancer
  • A 5 minutes nap always turns into a 3 hour nap
  • You write an article on napping

So, all you sleeping addicts, even though you are probably too busy sleeping to realize it, you are not alone!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
