People say your early 20’s are supposedly the best years of your life. You get to explore the world, be independent, and not have to worry about adult responsibilities. I say bull****. Millennial’s as a whole are the most sleep deprived generation yet, and I’m not surprised why. College students, like myself, are overwhelmed with full course loads, full time work schedules, internships, school clubs, and a healthy gym routine. Not to mention most of us live on our own and have to take care of laundry, bills, and groceries too. If this sounds like you, you’ll totally relate to the 6 things below.
1. “You look tired”
2. “You should be getting more sleep”
Did I say I wanted to be awake 18 hours a day?
3. “You’re so lame”
No I’m not lame. I don’t want to miss every social event ever but I am honestly so overwhelmed with work and sleep deprived nothing sounds better than curling up in bed.
4. “You should eat better”
Honestly, I’m just happy to finally be eating considering I was running around all morning. I don’t really care if coffee and bagels aren’t a sufficient lunch.
5. “Can you come in early/stay late”
Yes. I’d love to give away my one hour of free time this week. Wonderful.
6. “Don’t you want a boyfriend/girlfriend”
No, I totally want to be alone forever. Of course, I want to date and meet people but right now I’m focused on my goals.
