Hands down, Sleeping is one of the greatest sensations in the entire world. However, the art of sleeping is different for every single person.

Some thrive on only 4-6 hours. While others may need 10-12. However, some prefer to sleep 20 out of the 24 hours of the day. Their sleep schedule is more important than their work. Their Friday nights consist of seeing if they can sleep through the weekend with limited bathroom breaks and a granola bar.

You believe that by sleeping more, you are becoming the best version of yourself. If sleeping were an Olympic sport, you genuinely believe you could take gold. There are only some of the traits that can qualify you for a "Sleepaholic" but if you identify with more than 5 out 8 qualifications below, you are living one of the best lives.

1. You put your naps above everything.

People could say "Hey, want to get dinner," and "Hey, we should study," or "We need to talk." However, your first thought will always be, "Can I take a nap first?"

You plan your days around it and there is no need to be ashamed of it.

2. You can sleep anywhere.

Class, Work, Plane, Train. You name it, it can be done.

3. You dream about sleep all day.

From the moment you step out of your bed, you long for the moment you'll be back in it.

4. You envision yourself as a Mulan but you're more of Sleeping Beauty.


And do not get me wrong, you may be a kickass human fighting in place of your father to defeat the Huns when you're actually awake. However, you would not mind sleeping for a few months thanks to a sleeping spell.

5. You prefer sleeping over eating

Yeah, believe it or not, but this is a thing. You know the life of skipping lunch multiple days in a row to nap. Food to an Olympic napper is just a preference at this point. Unless it's Chick-fil-A, but that is an article for a different day.

6. You get a rush when you say "I slept 15 hours yesterday" and you watch how people react.

Whereas that is a light day for you, others are #shook when you tell them that you can sleep for that long and then wake up and take another nap.

7. You don't mind skipping things just to nap.

The phrase "Sorry, I'm busy" is your response to everything just because you want to sleep. However, you can stop lying to your friends, they know you're napping.

8. However, you're awake and present when it counts.

You never miss the important events, phone calls, or text because sometimes, you put yourself selfish needs aside to be with the ones you love... only sometimes though (Let's not get crazy)

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
