10 Confessions From A Sleepaholic

My favorite time of the day is when it's over.

I've always been a big sleeper. As a kid, I thought I slept a lot because I was growing. As a teenager, I thought it was because of being physically and mentally drained from both working and going to school. In college, I thought it was because of depression. Now, during this quarantine, I realized I just enjoy sleeping. Here are my ten things all sleepaholics can relate to.

1. Staying up all night is the last thing you want to do

Giphy

No, I don't want to sacrifice my sleep to hang out with friends longer or cram for an exam.

2. There's a "magic number" of hours of sleep per night you need to feel rested

Giphy

While most of my friends seem to sleep a range of six to nine hours, I'm not going to wake up feeling refreshed until I hit the 10.5 hour mark, or more.

3. You probably take too many and too long of naps

Giphy

During quarantine, I've been taking one nap a day which usually lasts for two and a half hours.

4. People don't panic if you don't text them back right away

Giphy

The amount of times I've seen a missed call or text and responded with, "Omg I'm so sorry I was sleeping" and the person responds with "I figured" is way too high.

5. Always being the first one asleep and last one awake at sleepovers

Giphy

I swear I'm not bored, just tired.

6. Missing meals because you wanted to sleep

Giphy

Sorry guys, don't count on me being at the family dinner tonight.

7. Counting how many hours of sleep you're going to get each night

Giphy

"If I finish chem by 9:00 pm, I could be asleep by 10:00 pm, and that would be 10 hours."

8. Snoozing your alarm multiple times in the morning

Giphy

Alarms aren't fun for anyone to wake up to, but especially if you're a sleepaholic.

9. People asking why you sleep so much

Giphy

Some people just need more sleep.

10. Your parents reaching the point where they just accept your sleeping habits

Giphy

It only took 20 years, but I think they finally understand.

Here are 10 things most sleepaholics can relate to. Being a sleepaholic during this quarantine is our time to shine. Keep calm and sleep on!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
