In This Article:

As someone who requires a lot of sleep, I often find myself dozing off at times where I probably shouldn't be. And, if you're anything like me, you'll relate to these 10 things!!

1. When the professor has a monotone voice

We all know that teacher that could be talking about the most interesting thing in the world, but their voice... Just. So. Flat.

2. When you're trying to finish a movie late at night

The internal battle of seeing the ending or getting some shut eye is REAL.

3. Staying up late texting someone 

No matter how badly you want to talk to them, sometimes your body just can't take it anymore.

4. Doing boring work/ work you don't understand

Calculus homework < sleeping. Always.

5. When you see someone else yawn

Yawning is most DEFINITELY contagious and once I see someone yawn I can't help but feel sleepy too. (Be honest, didn't this make you yawn?)

6. After not eating enough during the day

If your body doesn't get the fuel it needs, it just decides to sleep instead!

7. Or not drinking enough water

Dehydration = exhaustion. No questions about it.

8. When you finally get out of bed after snoozing your alarm

The hardest urge to fight is to go back to bed or not to go back to bed.

9. A few hours after drinking a cup of coffee

Because everything that goes up must come down, including the energy that you get from caffeine.

10. Any day where you got less than 8 hours the night before 

Because sleep is important, you can't live without it!:)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
