These Are The 10 Best Places To Nap On UF's Campus

Beds are overrated.

If you ever find your eyes slowly drooping during class or while you stare at your computer screen, here are a few places to take a quick break.

1. A hammock in Plaza of the Americas

Great place to nap—if you don’t mind setting up the hammock! And if you don’t feel like setting up a hammock, you can always lie in the grass or on a bench and use your backpack as a pillow.

2. Fourth floor Marston

Unless it’s finals week, there’s usually enough space to push chairs together and take a quick nap. Or just put your head down at your isolated desk in between doing those chemistry problems.

3. A hammock beside Lake Alice

Extremely peaceful, and the alligators keep to themselves. The downside is that it is a far walk, unless you live in Hume, a frat house, or work in a lab in that area.

4. Education Library

It’s practically silent and not many people walk in there.

5. Any dorm common area

If you have any friends living in dorms, hit them up. Couches make great napping material.

6. Pugh Hall

Plenty of couches and comfortable seating to relax in. Plus, Pugh Hall is generally quiet and central. It even includes separate alcoves for people to sleep alone!

7. The back of your class

Although you probably shouldn’t do this, it is an option. Not to mention, incredibly tempting.

8. A blanket on Reitz Union Lawn

The foot traffic isn’t too loud, and you’ll find plenty of space. And on a nice day—you know, those rare 72 degree days we sometimes get in January—napping on the Reitz Lawn sounds exceptionally relaxing.

9. The Hub Floor

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Hub is central and available, with perfect open corners for curling into a ball and napping, even during the busiest times. And if you get lucky, maybe you’ll get one of those plush chairs!

10. Upstairs in the Reitz

The Reitz Union is fairly empty upstairs, with plush chairs practically made for you to sprawl across. The Reitz Union even has a silent prayer room with pillows designed for personal meditation and, of course, napping.

Basically, we are all college students with loads of work, limited time, and limited energy to make it to Starbucks or CVS to buy Red Bull. Falling asleep in random places—even ones not on this list—is only natural.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
