Naps Are A Girl's Bestfriend

"When all else fails, take a nap."

Let's be real here: sometimes, you just can't avoid taking that much needed and long overdue nap. That was me last Sunday-- I planned a 45-minute nap. However, it ended up being that plus about 3 more hours. Don't judge me. I don't need judgement. I needed that nap, and you've needed one just like it before.

Saturday, September 10, I woke up at 4 a.m. to drive to The University of Arkansas at Monticello to take one of my Praxis tests. Now, taking that test alone can exhaust an individual. But, I drove three more hours after that, babysat, and didn't go to bed until 11:30 p.m. When my head hit that pillow, I was out. That never ever happens for me.

So, yes, I took that nap. I love me some naps. Most of the time they are only about 45 minutes long, but when I can get a longer nap in I do. I'm totally that person that wishes they would've taken advantage of nap time in kindergarten while they could've. I always thought my parents were crazy when they slept half of their days away every Sunday. But, now I realize how wrong I was for thinking they were crazy. I wish I would've taken those naps. Now, I hardly ever have the time for a nap. And, when I do get the chance, I'm more than happy to take it. Naps should never be taken for granted.

"Let's start by taking a smallish nap or two..." -Winnie the Pooh

That quote was a serious piece of wisdom from Winnie the Pooh. Pooh knew what the best things in life were. That's my challenge for everyone, today. Take a nap.. Or two. Come on. You know you want to.

"Eat. Sleep. Create."

I don't know who said it or wrote it, but those three very simple sentences are the epitome of the beauty of life. They knew what to say to express what everyone was thinking. And, finally, I'll leave you with this:

"Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap." -Barbara Jordan

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
