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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
