When your bed is your best friend.

If there's one thing people know about me, it's that I am a complete sleepaholic.

Here's the scoop, from one avid napper to the rest of the word: Us sleepaholics don't mean to sometimes ignore our messages or sleep through alarms, it just happens. Sleep is our best friend, the answer to our problems. The only way to purely relax and be unbothered. Below are some things that all of us avid nappers, and our friends who are affected by our sleepiness, can relate to.

We're sorry, kind of...

1. We wake up and immediately plan our first nap.

So, only three hours until I can come back and sleep. And if I'm lucky, I can squeeze in some time after class too, especially if I eat super fast.

2. We catch ourselves texting "Sorry, I was asleep," at least five times a day.

We immediately wake up and respond to all our friends who are awaiting our response. Oops.

3. While most people struggle with pulling "all-nighters," we struggle with pulling "all-dayers."

Going a full day without downtime is a real struggle. How do people go all day without sleeping, just once!?

4. Our bed is the hardest goodbye.

Until next time, my love...

5. Instead of setting one alarm, like a normal person, we set at least five.

Setting just one is not enough reassurance that we will actually be awake.

6. We can fall asleep anywhere, and everywhere. Literally.

Whether it be the couch, chair, car or floor, check, check, check and check.

7. Insomnia is an unspoken term for us.

We never have to experience the feeling of laying in bed restlessly. We almost always fall asleep instantly.

8. We never wear makeup because taking it on/off for naps is too much. And sleeping in make-up... forget about it.

Who wants to waste all those make-up wipes and the time it takes to clean our faces?

9. 20 minutes is NOT a nap.

Nap experts all know that a 'power nap' is just not enough. What even is a power nap? That's just cheating the system. I need an hour, max.

10. When we say "sorry, I'm busy," chances are, we aren't actually busy.

Being busy, in our minds, is just an excuse for our preplanned sleep time. Sorry, friend, I really can't get food with you. I'm... busy. *Zzzz*

11. Our friends and family know to not expect anything from us any time before noon.

Don't even bother. Unless we have something mandatory to attend, we will be in bed. Not necessarily asleep, but postponing the start of the day.

12. We rarely make the time for a real breakfast.

Most important meal of the day? What's that? I'd rather sleep the extra 30 minutes, and take a granola bar to go.

13. It's never too early, or too late, for a nap.

A 10:00 a.m. nap? A 6:00 p.m. nap? Sometimes you gotta give the body what it wants.

14. We can sleep through anything... sirens, fire alarms, storms, etc...

Don't even worry about waking us. When we are curled up in our bed's coziness, no outside noise seems to interrupt.

15. Regardless of our mood, a nap always sounds like a good idea.

You can never go wrong with sleeping, and that's just the end of that.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
