I don't think there was ever a time when I wasn't tired. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I thought to myself, "wow, I have a lot of energy right now" and would pass up a nap. But let's be honest, I would never EVER pass up the chance to nap. That's just how I have always been--sleepy. But to make matters worse, I'm a sleepy girl with a very busy schedule, making my chronic sleepiness a bit of an issue. I would say it's a curse more than a blessing and I envy people who can wake up at a decent hour each morning, rejuvenated from their sleep the night before, and go through the day full of energy.

If you're anything like me and your life revolves around sleep because of your constant sleepiness, you know the struggle. This is a list of things that you can relate to if you are a perpetually tired person.

1. When you've already skipped your Gen-ed English class 8 times this semester and are considering skipping a 9th time.

2. You can't survive without your daily nap.

No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

3. You have two sides:

You without a nap vs. You with a nap.

(Via Giphy)

4. The first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning is when you can go back to sleep.

(Via Giphy)

5. You've fallen asleep in your clothes/work uniform more times than you can count simply because you're so tired.

Every extra minute of sleep counts.

(Via Tumblr)

6. Coffee just doesn't work for you.

It doesn't matter if you have multiple cups or extra added shots, no amount of caffeine can save you.

(Via Giphy)

7. You can fall asleep anywhere and at anytime.

(Via Giphy)

8. A good night's sleep is 12+ hours.

(Via Giphy)

9. You're a pro at hitting the snooze button, it's more of a natural reaction at this point.

You can't even begin to count how many alarms you have slept through.

(Via Giphy)

10. You never dress nice/put on makeup for class because that would require you waking up earlier than you need to.

(Via Giphy)

11. You're probably always late to class, work, etc. because you sleep a little longer than expected.

You convince yourself that you can sleep for 5 more minutes, even if that means you have to be on the other side of campus in 15 minutes.

(Via Giphy)

12. You make plans with friends, but later cancel because you would rather sleep.

Sleep>everything

(Via Giphy)

13. People ask you if you're sick or O.K. multiple times a day.

Yes, I'm fine I'm just sleepy.

(Via Giphy)

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
