5 Reasons Naps Are Essential In College
The GrayScale

As a college student, I have learned to master the art of squeezing a nap into my busy day. Most college students will probably admit to taking at least one nap a day, but if you don't, then I'm not sure how you are surviving.

I personally need a nap at least once a day, or at least three times a week. If I get lucky and power through some days without a nap, it's a miracle. If you aren't a morning person and don't have much time to sleep in, then you look forward to your naps after class.

My naps are needed most during the week. However, weekends are a different story- I don't need them as much. In college, you don't get normal amounts of sleep, so, it's important to find time to relax and take a nap, or three. Here's why taking naps are so beneficial:

1. You can survive all-nighters.

2. It can help decrease stress.


3.You can feel more productive afterward.


4. You are a happier person.

5. You can move on with your day and not feel exhausted.


So take a nap and enjoy your day! You deserve it!

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.
