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

Giphy

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!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
