5 Ways To Deal With College Exhaustion

Ever since the semester of my freshman year started, I have been exhausted. Sleep deprivation mixed with anxiety can make you feel like the days will never end but here's how to combat the unending fatigue that comes with college.

1. Get some sleep!

A college student should be sleeping AT LEAST 7-9 hours a night! I've come across so many people who say they go to sleep at 2 A.M every night and I feel sorry for them. If you're not getting enough sleep at night, you'll definitely be exhausted during the day in your classes.

2. Eat right 

Although it is hard to find eatable, healthy options at the campus dining hall, try to eat at least one fruit and vegetable a day. If you're lucky and your parents give you an allowance, please go buy some groceries so you can have some healthy food options in your dorm.

3. Take your vitamins 

Since being at college, I've noticed a decline in nutrients and the only thing keeping me going and not getting sick are my multivitamins. I take one multivitamin and one fish oil pill every morning and it reassures me that my body is still getting the nutrients it needs.

4. Don't go out every night

College is the time to be alive and meet new people and make memories... on the weekend. I've seen so many dressed up girls on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and I can't help but worry for their sleep schedule and academic performance. I love going outatleastbut it's even better on the weekends when I am finished with my studies for the week.

5. Call your mom

Depending on how close you are with your family, a call to your parents is always beneficial for your health and you can vent about your stressors and fatigue. Nothing beats getting sympathy from your parents and knowing someone cares about your wellbeing.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
