11 Things I Should Probably Be Doing Besides Taking A '20 Minute' Nap

I can just do it when I wake up.

20 minute nap

We've been there. Your eyes are a little heavy, your body is a little sore. A nap wouldn't hurt, right? Just 20 minutes, it won't be too bad. Next thing you know it is 4 hours later and chaos has broken loose.

1. Actually getting up after the alarm goes off

I don't know about you, but I actually do set an alarm to go off after my nap. I just happen to turn it on for another 20 minutes, then another 20 minutes, then another.

2. Assignments

I know its due the next day, but there is no point in me trying to work on it when I can barely stay awake.

3. Cleaning my room

I swear I will do ANYTHING to keep from cleaning, and that includes taking a nap to get ready to clean...eventually.

4. Going for a walk/run

It would be such a good way to wake up the body naturally! But that means I have to put on pants again and go outside.

5. Literally any exercising

Even stretching would be enough to probably get my body back to my productive self. But the bed, it is so soft.

6. Drinking any type of caffeine

Okay, totally not the best way to wake yourself back up, but it is a better option then a four hour, "20 minute" nap. Who am I kidding though, I would still nap even after drinking coffee.

7. Grocery shopping

I cannot keep surviving on bread and applesauce, but again, like the going for a walk, this task requires pants.

8. Reading a book

I own so many books that I was planning on reading, but never have. The amount of naps I take per week may have something to do with my limited amount of free time I normally have.

9. Go out with friends that I haven't seen

Again, pants.

10. Put on pants to actually do anything but nap

I don't know why it is so difficult. I know it would solve so many problems.

11. Writing my next Odyssey article

Procrastination feeds both the mind and the soul. So, take a nap and get new ideas.

I will see everyone after my four-hour nap!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
