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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
