12 Truths For People Who Love To Nap

After kindergarten, they took it away, but once we got to college, that ever wonderful, ever desired gift from the gods of hibernation returned into our coffee-soaked lives. Yes, I'm talking about naps. Some days they're a luxury, while others they're an absolute necessity, but either way, they're never taken for granted. Whether it be a rainy, midday Monday snooze or a power nap before Friday's end-of-week festivities, they can be a real lifesaver. If you love to nap as much as I do, these things are sure to ring true for you:

1. Days without naps seem to have somehow gained additional hours.

If you don't get your regularly scheduled nap, you realize how awfully long a day actually is. You need an hour or two of shut eye to break up the madness.

2. It is never too early or too late for a nap.

Woke up at 8 a.m. and need a nap at 10 a.m.? You rock that nap. Need a 30 minute power nap at 11 p.m. to make it through the all-nighter you're about to pull? You do you.

3. If I don't answer my phone, I'm probably napping.

You know I'm always quick to reply to a text, and I do my best to answer when then phone rings. If I'm MIA, though, it's safe to assume I am engaging in a temporary slumber, and I'll get back with you as soon as I'm up again.

4. Naps increase productivity.

It's amazing what you can actually get done after a much needed nap. Rejuvenating.

5. You can nap anywhere.

Literally. Anywhere. Finding a bed or couch is ideal, but I'll take a floor, a chair and, when truly desperate, a table or any semi-flat surface. Desperate times call for naps, right?

6. I bestow pity on those who will go on to wake me from a nap.

There will be wrath. As soon as I re-enter real life, I will feel terrible and shower you with love and apologies. When it comes to waking me up, I suggest just waiting it out for fear of death.

7. Sometimes naps will last through plans.

Again, when I'm fully awake and aware, I will feel like the worst of all people, but sometimes a nap hits you like a ton of bricks, and there's nothing you can do about it.

8. I didn't nap through our plans because I hate you.

I was actually probably napping in the first place to save you from pain, agony and grumpiness. It was an accident, I swear.

9. If I don't get my nap, we'll all regret it.

If I don't get my sleep, you're about to see tears. And anger. And tearful anger.

10. I'm down for a group nap.

Friends wanna hang and you just wanna nap? Compromise is key! Round up all the pals, build a pillow fort and initiate group cuddle. You'll all feel better after a nap, then you can continue on your adventures.

11. You can solve any problem with a nap.

Sad? Nap. Homework? Nap. Hungry? Nap. It is the solution to all, just don't procrastinate too much. You can only nap your way out of trouble for so long.

12. You'll never have a schedule like this again, so you know you've gotta get all the naps while you can.

College class schedules were almost made to fit around naps, and some people do it that way! Enjoy it while you can, because you won't be napping in the middle of your 9-to-5 one day.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
