Staying both mentally and physically healthy means getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night; for not getting the proper sleep with lead to both short and long term consequences.

On the contrary, there are some benefits of cutting down the hours of sleep, especially for all the ambitious and creative individuals out there.

1) You Get More Work Done

Spending at least one or two more hours at night getting certain tasks accomplished, will lead for you to enjoy more relaxed activities during the day. Plus, the goals one wishes to pursue in their career, might get accomplished 2x, 3x, maybe 10x faster.

2) Creative Juices Rise

According to recent study made by Mareike Wietha and Rose Zacks, the best time to create is during our most groggiest and quite honestly, least optimal times. The unconscious reaches a level that can be quite difficult to reach when surrounded by every day activities.

3) You get more time to do the things you usually don't have time for...

Whether that be dancing, working out, finding new music, or exploring something new in the world, it most likely will be worth it.

4) No Nightmares

There are five stages of sleep. The higher the stage, the more sleep time it takes to get to level.

Luckily, if one has less time to sleep, the less chance of getting into an intense dream state decrease. This could involve some pretty messed up nightmares which can affect you and roam your mind for the rest of the next day.

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.
