12 Things Only Sleep Lovers Will Understand
Cooler Lifestyle

Ah, sleep. No matter what time of the day it is or who you are, one must admit that catching some z's is essential to a happy and healthy lifestyle. However, there are some of us who maybe love sleep a little too much, and there are some things that only us sleep lovers will understand:


1. A nap (or maybe two or three naps) a day sounds absolutely divine. Whoever said you shouldn't make napping a daily part of your schedule obviously never respected the power of a cat nap! Besides, you'll only be sleeping for 20 minutes ... which somehow turn into two hours.

2. You don't know what sounds more enticing, sleep or food. This is a legitimate struggle because the noodles from last night are pretty tempting, but, you'll probably be too lazy to get the food out in the kitchen anyways. And besides your bed is so comfortable, and getting up requires time and energy, and it's not too late yet ... right? So you guess sleep wins.

3. For some reason, you seem to be less tired when you're messing around but get more tired when you have work to do. Is this some type of game? And also, what are exams again?

4. When you say you're tired and someone points out that you slept for more than eight hours last night.

5. When you say you're going to pull an all-nighter and start getting sleepy around 12. And then you notice your bed and pillows and how comforting that looks- hmm, maybe the all-nighter can wait until tomorrow. Let's just sleep the day away.

6. When you have a long day and you think about how you can't wait until you get back home just so you can catch up on some z's. (Even though you have a lot more things to take care of too ... oops. Oh well!)

7. A common part of your conversation includes you saying, "I'm so tired" or "I'm going to sleep for days." And you mean it, too.

8. When you're at a sleepover and you're trying to sleep but nobody wants you to sleep. Because of this, you usually have to pretend like you're up even though you're secretly trying to wait until you can knock out and no one can bother you.

9. No matter what amount of alarms you have set and how much motivation you have to get your day started, you are very tempted to sleep straight through them. Sorry day, you just have to wait to get started until I'm fully awake.

10. When the number of times you're yawning is probably equivalent to the number of times you blink. (Okay maybe that's a slight bit of an exaggeration but seriously, whoever said yawning was contagious should have said it didn't stop either).

11. At the end of the day you can't wait to change into your pajamas and crash. Ah, the comfort of pjs.


12. You know that no matter how your day was, or how much work you have, sleeping can always temporarily postpone your issues and commitments. Talk about bae! Thanks sleep.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
