10 Things Only Night Owls Will Understand

Some people love going to bed at a reasonable hour and getting up early the next morning. You are not one of those people. There's a whole new world out there once the sun sets. When it gets dark, your day is just getting started.

1. When you do wake up early, you're freaked out by how many daylight hours there are.

You've been up for five hours and the sun is still up... That's new.

2. Your parents gave up on a bedtime for you at a very early age.

You'd be awake and active no matter what time they turned the lights off. Nice try, mom.

3. Your New Year's Resolution is always to go to bed earlier.

Not because you want to, but because you feel the need to adhere to the typical 9-5 lifestyle. It never works regardless.

4. You're bored, but all of your friends are asleep.

You just thought of something really funny, though... Would it be bad to text them anyway?

5. People think you're procrastinating, but you just do your best thinking at night.

And also, you might be procrastinating a little.

6. Meeting someone who stays up even later than you.

They are threatening your n'night owl' status.

7. Midnight snacks aren't an indulgence, they're just part of the routine.

You stopped fighting the cravings a long time ago.

8. Trying to avoid caffeine, because you don't really need it.


9. But also indulging in caffeine because you know you'll be up late anyway.

Your caffeine habits make no sense, and the people around you will just have to live with it.

10. Laughing at your friends trying to pull an all-nighter.

It's child's play for you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
