11 Things Only Night Owls Will Understand
Business Insider

We all know there are two types of people in this world, those who are up every morning at seven, bright eyed and ready to start the day, and those who are mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey, typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. If you belong to the latter community, you'll understand these eleven things. If you don't, you most definitely will not.

1. Having the innate ability to fly almost silently and also more slowly in comparison to other birds of prey.

The turkey vulture ain't got nothing on our skills.

2. Turning your head around up to 270 degrees.

Don't you wish you were part of our exclusive club? Head turns for days.

3. Meeting another night owl who is almost 30 years old and saying, "wow, that's really old" because the average life span of an owl of any species is significantly shorter than that.

Wow.

4. Having disproportionately large eyes in comparison to your skull.

But they're still on fleek, like, every single day.

5. Being unable to move those eyes.

Ocular motor control is for suckers.

6. Having asymmetrical ears.

One ear up and one ear down lets us pinpoint sounds more directly, and find the haters. Watch out.

7. Remembering those awkward years of puberty.

Ugh.

8. Swallowing mice whole.

Bruh.

9. Watching your young cough up the meal you prepared for them and being totally okay with it, because that's perfectly normal for owls.

*hacking sounds*

10. Seamlessly blending into your surroundings with your camouflage feathers.

Haters can't hate what they can't see. And then you jump out at 'em.

11. Never needing nail polish 'cuz your talons look fierce every day.

Yas. Slay. Destroy.

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!

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.
