Breaking Stereotypes: When The Man Is The Bed Hog

Sometimes, you just have to drop-kick him into tomorrow, take the blanket back, and regain your bed space.

We're all aware of the many memes and jokes that go around about women taking up all of the bed-space and stealing the covers.... well, as a married woman, I can tell you that it is NOT TRUE!


At first, he looks so sweet and innocent, just sleeping, not getting on your nerves, so you try to gently wake him and ask him to move over. Ya know, just a little shake and a tug on the blanket because you're still freezing. Nothing. Nothing happens. He doesn't even stop snoring. It's late, you're tired, you're cold, and you can't move more than half an inch for fear of falling off the bed but your man over there is sleeping like a baby. He doesn't even care. This is where you are left with a decision.

You can either sleep on the old, lumpy, hard, couch that does some SERIOUS damage to your back... OR, you drop kick him into tomorrow, take back the blanket, and your well-deserved portion of the bed! This may seem a little harsh, but what did we talk about earlier? WE are stereotyped as the bed hogs, you have already endured the 2inches of bed space, freezing toes, sleep deprivation, and his ridiculous snoring AND You have already tried to gently wake him! As far as I'm concerned, that's more than enough fairness. Sometimes, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! [Below is a gif model that I have added that shows you how to effectively obtain what is rightfully yours]

If your man gets a little agitated after following this maneuver, just blame it on a bad dream ;) He'll just roll over, go right back to sleep, and forget all about it in the morning, and you will finally be able to sleep comfortably! It's a win-win!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
