There are days when I question the need to come out of bed. I mean yes, we've got to earn our living and not die hungry, but come on, the feeling of sleeping without any care in the world is the BEST feeling ever! And you know what? I'd give anything to curl back under my blanket and ditch work for a couple more hours of sweet sleep. Reality seems to disagree...but at least you and me can agree on these 11 thoughts that we have right from the moment we hit snooze on our alarm clocks to finally getting ourselves out of bed.

1. Is it 7 a.m. already? How?

2. It feels like I closed my eyes just a couple of minutes back and now I have to wake up! (Cries internally)

3. 15 minutes later... I don't even remember the alarm ring. When did I hit snooze?

4. It's cool, my body needs rest. I will start exercising from tomorrow. *Snoozes the alarm once more and dives under the blanket*

5. Wait, what? I just hit snooze for 15 minutes! How can they already be over?

6. God, it's 7:30! I don't want to wake up.

7. Finally at 7:45...Fine world, you win!

8. Btw, that was such a cool dream I had right now. Let me see if I can go back into it if I close my eyes just for two minutes more...

9. 8 a.m... I literally hate myself

10. *still groggy* FINE, let's start the day. Sigh.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
