I love naps. And really what I mean when I say I love naps is that I need a nap to make it through my week, whether it's during the school year and it's the middle of the semester or if I'm at home and trying to adjust to a normal sleep schedule. Because of my deep love for naps, I am a self proclaimed "nap queen." You might be a nap queen if:

1. You need a nap to survive the week.

Because how else would you get to all of your classes and club meetings on time?

2. You schedule out time for your naps.

Naps were my favorite part of Friday's this spring semester, because I knew that once I went to my early morning classes, I could go home and take a nap before conquering the day.


3. You have a favorite on-campus "nap spot."

And you frequent it often to catch a few Z's between classes.


4. You can nap anywhere.

You could be in the library, on a park bench or even the quad and still be able to take a quick power nap.

5. You take power naps because they're better than another cup of coffee.

It's super simple: a $4 Starbucks drink or a free nap. A nap is going to win almost every time.

6. "Take a nap" becomes your automatic response to everything.

Bored? Take a nap. Have time to kill? Take a nap. Out of coffee? Take a nap. Class cancelled? Take a nap. Stressed out? Take a nap.


7. You're well rested during midterms and finals week because of all of your naps.

So when you take your exam, you won't have to battle exhaustion and instead can focus on your questions.

8. When you come home for the summer, you take naps to help you adjust to going to bed before midnight and waking up by nine.

It's a whole another world when you have to wake up before noon and go to bed before 3 a.m.

9. Some naps can be a little disorienting.

And you'll think you took an hour nap when it actually was four hours.


10. But all in all, you're still ready to go back to bed.

Because with all of the time you spend in bed, it becomes second nature to sleep.


This week, I've been napping pretty much every day, getting back into the groove of things. I've established myself as a nap queen, napping pretty much everywhere in my house with my dog.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
