7 Signs You're A Night Owl

There is more to being a night owl than staying up late.

You've probably heard the term throughout your life. A night owl, someone who stays up all night and sleeps all day. Well, that's how it would work in a perfect world, but night owls rarely get to sleep all day. Different commitments like jobs and school prevent these people from their desired sleep schedule. Here are a few signs that you are one of these individuals.

1. It’s easier to stay awake until 6 am (not wake up at 6 am.)

Any night owl can attest, it is WAY easier to stay up all night. Try to wake them up at the same time a different day? Good luck, you'll need it.

2. That 2:30 feeling comes around 6:30 at night.

It is so easy to stay up late because you're tired at 6:30, not an acceptable time to go to bed, but fully awake at midnight. Why not just stay up and be productive at that point?

3. You can sleep until noon any day of the week.

Along with being a night owl comes the inability to be a morning person. That being said, morning includes any time with an AM attached to the end.

4. You see more of the moon than the sun.

Since you're up so late all the time, you basically become nocturnal. You rise with the moon and set with the sun.

5. College did not help your sleep schedule.

If you're in, have been, or will be in college, you will come to understand that college in no way, shape, or form makes it easier to be a morning person. You can schedule your classes to be as late as possible, and then you can stay up as late as you can.

6. You’re the last one awake among friends and family.

Night owls tend to be the last one awake at night and the last one awake the next day. You can sit and watch as all of your friends try to keep up with you. They never succeed, and you get to laugh at their inability to stay awake. They're the ones laughing the next morning when they have to drag you out of bed.

7. You’re dead on your feet most days.

Since the world does not conform to night owl's sleep schedule, you are usually tired all the time. Any chance you get, you take a nap because you need that extra 15 minutes to get you to 10:30 then you're wired.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
