Napping, A Love Story

When in doubt, take a nap.

Napping, A Love Story

Call it beauty sleep, siesta, snoozing, napping, slumber, whatever you want—sleep is your one and only true love. It always makes everything right again. It makes you forget about problems in your life, including things going on at work, stress from school, or all your disappointments. Sleep is undeniably a blessing. I just take naps because I love them, but I also need them to function on a daily basis. Either way, if your napping game is strong, or if you only nap sometimes, you'll totally relate to these truths.

When you wake up you’re already planning your nap.

From the minute you wake up, you plan your day around the time you’re going to take your nap. Your daily nap is something you always look forward to.

You try to come up with tricks to get you to do your chores before you nap.

Like putting all your laundry all over your bed so you're forced to fold it and put it away. But that never works.

You can take a nap almost anywhere

Whenever your friend comes over, you ask if they're down to take a nap with you.

Napping is fun. If you're tired, he/she must be too, right? What better way to spend quality time with your friend?

Falling asleep while it's still daytime and waking up when it's pitch black out.

You get all freaked out when you wake up because you don't know how long you've been asleep (hours? days?) or what you might have slept through.

Fifteen minute nap? No way.

You don’t understand the idea of people taking brief 15- or 30-minute naps. You take napping seriously. In your opinion, you needs to nap for at least an hour or it doesn’t even count.

You dedicate your weekends to sleeping.

You tell yourself you’ll be productive after your nap.

Instead of being productive, you wake up and are unable to do anything but binge-watch episodes of Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix.

You have to set multiple alarms.

You tend to set multiple alarms to make sure you wake up (since you always hit snooze through the first two or three).

A nap always fixes everything.

After reading this, you probably want to go take a nap now.

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.

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.
