Top 5 Struggles of Always Being Tired

If you are anything like me, you could lay down and take a nap anywhere. Even after waking up and eating breakfast, I could go back to sleep for hours. Call me crazy, but being a college student is exhausting. On top of being busy with something 24/7, I could always use more rest. Here are the top five struggles of always being a sleepy person.

1. When someone asks how you are, you always fight the urge to say "I'm tired, how are you?"

You don't want to tell people every day how tired you are! You just smile and say, "I'm good, how are you?" Must. Hide. Exhaustion. Time for the concealer and coffee, am I right?

2. There is a never ending need for caffeine.

Even if you're not a coffee drinker, you need to have some sort of caffeine to get you through the day. You have about a million things to do and never enough time to do them all. What could we possibly drink to help us through? Good ol' coffee is always in clutch.

3. When your friends ask what you are doing later, and you try to make a better excuse than "napping."

Because what would any afternoon be like without taking a quick 20 minute, or hour, snooze? Pretty bad I could imagine. You should really go out and hang out more but you know that you'll regret not sleeping more later.

4. Procrastination becomes your middle name. Literally.

It becomes so hard to get anything done. Once you get all warm and snuggled up in bed, is there any way to be productive? I don't think so. You will make time tomorrow to do your work right?

5. You have been known to fall asleep in the middle of doing something.

You could have been texting, on the phone, or even getting ready to shower, but chances are you fall asleep before you can do anything. You tell yourself that you're about to get up and do something and you are asleep before you know it. Time for more coffee.

Remember, you need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night! Yeah right, I know. More like 10 to 12.

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.
