What It's Like Being Tired Constantly

What do you mean it's not acceptable to sleep the majority of the day??

What It's Like Being Tired Constantly
msecnd.net

I personally feel like I live in a state of perpetual exhaustion. It's not the kind of tired where I can't be productive, but it's the kind of tired where I am constantly thinking about taking a nap. Here are a few things about what it's like to be constantly ready to hit the hay.

1. Nap?

Just woke up, but I need a nap. Okay, if I can get to my room at exactly this time then I should be able to sleep for this long... A five minute nap can do wonders for someone who is constantly tired, but a 5 hour nap can do so much more.

2. Caffeine.

I personally don't drink coffee, tea, soda, or energy drinks, but I know a lot of people who basically live off of the stuff. I'm pretty sure if you cut their veins open coffee beans would spill out.

3. Under Eye Bags.

Yes, these bags are designer. And by designer I mean I designed them by not sleeping enough. And these bags never go out of style, always in season, every day, every week, 365 days a year.

4. Are you hungry or are you just tired?

Okay yes, this is a real thing. Sometimes when I think I'm hungry I am actually just in need of a snooze.

5. You can sleep anywhere. And I mean ANYWHERE.

I can fall asleep on the floor, in a chair, in a car, near or far, wherever you are. I don't even need to be comfy to pass out, give me something to rest my head on, whether it's my own arm, a pillow, or a book bag and I am set to take a nap.

6. Out like a light.

Most people who are in a state of perpetual exhaustion can fall asleep in a relatively short amount of time. A friend once timed me and now I know that i can fall asleep in about 30 seconds. Is that a special skill? Can I add that to my resume?

I'd make this article a lot longer, but I'd rather go to bed. Good night!

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.
