I'm Accepting The Fact I'm A 24/7 Tired Adult, Which SUCKS

"Sleeping does not exist when you are an adult."

Work. School. Taxes, Bills. Pets. Chores. Doctors Appointments...Does it end? As an adult, no. Get used to it.

I am sure not everyone's list up there is exactly the same but pretty close. And I bet many of you barely get sleep.

I did not think being an adult would be so hard. I try to manage time and it does not seem to work. Between graduate school part-time, working full time, attending doctor's appointments, taking care of my new cat, paying bills, food shopping, cooking, performing chores around the house, teaching dance on the side, WHEN IS THERE TIME TO SLEEP?

I think on a good day I get six hours of sleep. That is when my cat is not crawling on me.

I do not want to have to accept being tired 24/7 but that seems to be my life right now, However, I am willing to fight to change that.

I do fit in time to work out which is bad cause I lose sleep but good because I am keeping my exercising up. So I not only stay healthy but fit.

I started eating better which helps a bit as well. You really do feel more energetic when you eat better foods, so keep up with those fruits and veggies.

I try to get into bed early so I can make time to sleep more, which takes an hour for me to fall asleep. That is not including my cat when she crawls on me while I attempt to sleep.

I try making a schedule, and it always backfires.

So, am I suppose to be tired all the time from adulting? I guess so.

I hope it gets better, cause I do not want to keep walking around like a zombie anymore.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
