If you're like me, napping is truly an art form. You may not have enjoyed them when you were younger, but now you NEED a nap to be able to function. Personally, I go full out sloth mode whenever possible. Here are a few signs you too are a professional napper:

1. You plan your day around napping.

If you are really a pro, your schedule revolves around a solid "nap time." Stick to what you know!

2. You wake up excited to nap later.

The only true motivation to get me out of bed is thinking about the fabulous nap I'm going to take later!

3. People make fun of your napping habit.

I cannot even count the amount of times that I've heard, "She probably wants to nap before she does anything." They would be correct.

4. You feel like death without one.

A busy day without the reprieve of your fluffy bed is pure torture. Non-nappers will NEVER understand.

5. You feel accomplished when you go a nap-free day.

It is crazy how much you can get done without a nap burning up a few hours! It is an accomplishment for sure, but no doubt you'll still go back into your normal routine tomorrow.

6. You can PTFO anywhere, anytime.

Planes, cars, class, etc. If you love to snooze, you can do it basically anywhere. Time of day and location are only minute details.

7. You brag about a good one.

Did you even take a nap if you don't talk about it? Every napper has said something like, "You will not believe how amazing this nap was." Brag away you sleeping beauty you!

8. You've compared yourself to a sloth.

Either that, or someone else has made the comparison. I take it as a compliment...at least sloths are cute!

9. You've been called "lazy."

Just because I nap, it does not mean I don't slay the day when I'm awake! Common napping myth, obviously.

The napping life can be a struggle, but it is 100% worth it. People can say what they want, but anti-nappers are simply missing out. I hope all of my fellow professional nappers can relate...share with a fellow napper!

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.
