I have a love/hate relationship with the snooze button.

Now that summer school is right around the corner, I need to get used to waking up early but, WOW, sleep is so good and so tempting. It's seriously so hard to wake up early, especially since I've been sleeping in for so long now...here are ten struggles of doing so:

1. The snooze button is right there

I've tried placing my phone far away to force myself to get up, but it's a lost cause.

2. My bed looks and IS too comfortable

Giphy

I've tried to make my bed after waking up, but I just end up crawling back in.

3. I look, feel, am tired

Giphy

Dark circles are just my everyday look.

4. Mid-day naps are heaven-sent

Giphy

Mid-day naps are the best, but they make it significantly harder to fall asleep at night.

5. At a certain extent, it’s just a fight with your mind

Giphy

I could be exercising, getting work done, or spending time with family instead of sleeping. BUT, sleep is ultimately #1 on some days.

6. It’s hard to deal with people in the morning

Giphy

Please don't talk to me till I've eaten (I don't drink coffee).

7. I try to sleep early, but Netflix is too darn good

Giphy

I get in bed to sleep at 11, but all the drama in Grey's Anatomy keeps me up to 2 in the morning.

8. You set a dozen alarms to wake up, but they prove insufficient

Giphy

Sorry to my past and future roommates/apartment mates!!

At this point, I'm going to have to force myself to become a morning person. This may mean more mid-day naps or a desire to drink coffee, but at least I won't be late for class!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
