Top 5 Methods for Sleeping in Class

Don't fight it, it's useless

We're almost halfway through the semester, and you know what that means! Crippling exhaustion! In order to cram in a few moments of REM between note-taking, here are a few of the best tactics.

1.The Baseball Cap

A cap is a handy tool which can be used on sunny days. Most professors don’t care if you wear them in class, they’re discreet and stylish, and to the outside observer, it just looks like you’re looking down. Enjoy your snooze!

2.The Laptop Shield

Look at you being studious and taking notes on your laptop! Luckily, it also creates the perfect shield for your closed eyes and even helps to muffle snoring.

3.The Elbow Lean

We’ve all used this one. One elbow on your desk, resting your chin on your hand. I think this is the reason that professor’s suit jackets have elbow pads. You may wake up with a sore joint, but at least you remained upright during your nap. Less discreet, but decently comfortable.

4.The Blanket Nest

Best when used during the winter. I’m not sure why some professors keep the window open even when it’s below freezing, but it provides you with the perfect excuse to bring a cozy blanket to class. In order to fully envelope yourself in a warm cocoon, it’s helpful to brace your knees against your desk. From there, build up a blanket cushion on your shoulder and just tilt your head to the side a little bit. Sweet dreams!

5.The Dead Body

Just roll out of your desk onto the floor. Resign yourself to your fate. We all knew it was gonna happen eventually. Hopefully, you’ll wake up before class ends.

...There's also whatever this guy's doing.

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.
