These Are The 10 Best Places To Nap On UF's Campus

Beds are overrated.

If you ever find your eyes slowly drooping during class or while you stare at your computer screen, here are a few places to take a quick break.

1. A hammock in Plaza of the Americas

Great place to nap—if you don’t mind setting up the hammock! And if you don’t feel like setting up a hammock, you can always lie in the grass or on a bench and use your backpack as a pillow.

2. Fourth floor Marston

Unless it’s finals week, there’s usually enough space to push chairs together and take a quick nap. Or just put your head down at your isolated desk in between doing those chemistry problems.

3. A hammock beside Lake Alice

Extremely peaceful, and the alligators keep to themselves. The downside is that it is a far walk, unless you live in Hume, a frat house, or work in a lab in that area.

4. Education Library

It’s practically silent and not many people walk in there.

5. Any dorm common area

If you have any friends living in dorms, hit them up. Couches make great napping material.

6. Pugh Hall

Plenty of couches and comfortable seating to relax in. Plus, Pugh Hall is generally quiet and central. It even includes separate alcoves for people to sleep alone!

7. The back of your class

Although you probably shouldn’t do this, it is an option. Not to mention, incredibly tempting.

8. A blanket on Reitz Union Lawn

The foot traffic isn’t too loud, and you’ll find plenty of space. And on a nice day—you know, those rare 72 degree days we sometimes get in January—napping on the Reitz Lawn sounds exceptionally relaxing.

9. The Hub Floor

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Hub is central and available, with perfect open corners for curling into a ball and napping, even during the busiest times. And if you get lucky, maybe you’ll get one of those plush chairs!

10. Upstairs in the Reitz

The Reitz Union is fairly empty upstairs, with plush chairs practically made for you to sprawl across. The Reitz Union even has a silent prayer room with pillows designed for personal meditation and, of course, napping.

Basically, we are all college students with loads of work, limited time, and limited energy to make it to Starbucks or CVS to buy Red Bull. Falling asleep in random places—even ones not on this list—is only natural.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2408

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
