Just let me sleep.

Let's face it; all college students take naps. It seems like every time we get the perfect opportunity to lay down and rest for a while something happens to wake us from our slumber. I've experienced nap interruption at home and while living in the dorms, and they are both equally infuriating. I've laid out a list of both college and home annoyances that wake us from our precious beauty sleep.

At College:

1. Fire alarms- Normally they tell you when they are gonna happen, but sometimes they will surprise you, even when you're napping.

2. Roommates- They always come in at the most inappropriate time, but when your napping is the worst, especially if they bring guests.

3. Suit mates- You wouldn't think they would affect your napping schedule but they can. If they are loud talkers, play loud music or take showers right once your about to lay down, it will affect how you sleep.

4. Hallway noise- This only really affects you if you live on a busy floor, near the main lobby, or next to noise neighbors, but if they are loud and screaming, they will wake you.

5. Phones- It's like the minute you lay down and start to drift into sleep, someone texts you, the group chat blows up your phone, or your mom calls you; it's bad timing for everyone.

At Home:

1. The Vacuum- Of course, the one and only time someone is actually cleaning the house is when you are napping. Great.

2. The Kitchen- If you are like me and you have a room right near the kitchen, then you hear everything that is going on in the kitchen. Cleaning, cooking, and talking!

3. Yelling and fighting- The moment you lay down is the same moment that your siblings decide to fight, or your mom decides to give a yelling lecture to your younger brother. In the end you end up yelling at them.

4. Animals- They always want attention, even if your napping. The one time my cat decides to give me love is when I'm napping, and it's good that he loves me, but seriously I'm napping.

5. Music and movies- It's okay to watch and listen to them, but when the volume is at max there will be a problem. I'm napping!

Overall lesson to be learned; don't mess with me when I'm napping.

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.

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.
