The 7 Stages Of Being A Night Owl

The vicious cycle of day and night-time wakefulness.

The 7 Stages Of Being A Night Owl
Sleep Better Live Better

There are some people who like to start and take on the challeges of their day at the crack of dawn. But there are also people who are the complete opposite and find themselves awake untill the wee hours of the morning. For all of you night owls out there like myself, I am sure you can relate.

1. Wide-Awake Alertness

This is how you start out your night almost everyday. When everyone else is losing steam and falling asleep you’re probably still wide-awake, observing and with several more hours of wakefulness to go.

2. Productivity

You have a few extra hours on everyone else, and so you decide to make use of them. People are often shocked at how much you can get done after everyone else goes to sleep.

3. Loopy Fatigue

You’re up so late and finally ready to go to sleep, but it’s just not happening. You think you might be going crazy you’re up so late and you’re not sure you can take much more.

4. The Shortest Sleep

You finally fall asleep and then it feels like you’re awake and having to start the day twenty minutes later. It wasn't deep enough at all and you're not sure you're going to make it all the way through another night.

5. Day-Time Tiredness

You try so hard to get things done during the day, to stay awake and focused, but you got so much done last night anyway that it probably doesn't matter and you just want to get quick naps in wherever you can.

6. Caffeine Dependence

To help fight off the mini naps that keep creeping up on you throughout the day you probably develop a caffeine dependence and you most-likely don't feel like a real person until you've had at least one cup of coffee.

7. The Cycle

After you've acquired your caffeine, you're awake enough to operate once again late into the night and the whole cycle starts all over again.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
