When I was in kindergarten, I could not fall asleep during nap time. Most of the kids in my class would be knocked out and then there's me, just laying their wandering off to space. Looking back at this memory, I wish I had taken advantage of being able to have nap time every single day. Whenever my friends would talk about how they took at nap when they got home, I could never relate to them. I used to feel like naps are a waste of time and I could be doing much better things then just sleeping for 30 mins. Even if I tried to take a nap, I would think about all the homework or tests and quizzes I needed to study for. Well, now I have finally learned why naps are actually beneficial for you and how relaxed you feel when you wake up from a nap.

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
