I'm Accepting The Fact I'm A 24/7 Tired Adult, Which SUCKS

"Sleeping does not exist when you are an adult."

Work. School. Taxes, Bills. Pets. Chores. Doctors Appointments...Does it end? As an adult, no. Get used to it.

I am sure not everyone's list up there is exactly the same but pretty close. And I bet many of you barely get sleep.

I did not think being an adult would be so hard. I try to manage time and it does not seem to work. Between graduate school part-time, working full time, attending doctor's appointments, taking care of my new cat, paying bills, food shopping, cooking, performing chores around the house, teaching dance on the side, WHEN IS THERE TIME TO SLEEP?

I think on a good day I get six hours of sleep. That is when my cat is not crawling on me.

I do not want to have to accept being tired 24/7 but that seems to be my life right now, However, I am willing to fight to change that.

I do fit in time to work out which is bad cause I lose sleep but good because I am keeping my exercising up. So I not only stay healthy but fit.

I started eating better which helps a bit as well. You really do feel more energetic when you eat better foods, so keep up with those fruits and veggies.

I try to get into bed early so I can make time to sleep more, which takes an hour for me to fall asleep. That is not including my cat when she crawls on me while I attempt to sleep.

I try making a schedule, and it always backfires.

So, am I suppose to be tired all the time from adulting? I guess so.

I hope it gets better, cause I do not want to keep walking around like a zombie anymore.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
