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

In This Article:

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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
