Sleep: a necessity. Something pretty much everyone enjoys. But there are a select few brave men and women who consider themselves 'ever-sleepy.' These rare creatures are united by the fact they never stop thinking about where their next ...among a few other things.

1. Caffeine/sugar/energy drinks are your best friend

If you're anything like me, the minute you wake up you're ready to go back to sleep. This means that over the years, you've adopted some sort of unhealthy routine to keep your eyes open and bring you out of your morning zombie funk. Overly sugary cereal + Redbull + Dunkin Donuts iced coffee with extra sugar?! Sign me up.

2. Your day isn't complete without a nap

Being up for 12+ hours with no interruption is just not how we roll. Whether it's a sneaky 20 minutes between classes, or a longer pre/post dinner slumber, our days just wouldn't be the same without being able to catch some extra Zzzs. Bonus points if you have a designated time every day where you nap...we call this, 'the pre-sleep-sleep.'

3. You start most conversations with the phrase, 'Sorry, I'm Tired.'

Whenever someone asks you how you're doing, the first thing out of your mouth probably has something to do with the fact that you didn't get enough sleep. There's something about letting everyone you talk to know that you can never sleep long enough that excuses your constant yawns, possible over-rubbing of the eyes, and 'just rolled out of bed'-style outfit.

4. 'Wanna go out?' 'No. I'm too tired.'

A classic conversation between you and your friends on the regular, if you're a sleepy person you're probably not the best at rallying to go out after a long day of being awake. You'd probably much rather lay in your bed in PJs and fall asleep watching an episode of Friends you've yet to complete because you always doze off in the same place.

5. You have some weird stories about places you've fallen asleep

Fallen asleep at a concert? Check. Standing up in a busy museum? Check again. As a person who respects sleep, when the opportunity for a nap strikes, you take it, no matter the stakes. These make for some funny stories, and some even funnier pictures of you passed out pretty much anywhere and everywhere.

Members of the ever-sleepy club, unite!

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!
