As someone who requires a lot of sleep, I often find myself dozing off at times where I probably shouldn't be. And, if you're anything like me, you'll relate to these 10 things!!

1. When the professor has a monotone voice

We all know that teacher that could be talking about the most interesting thing in the world, but their voice... Just. So. Flat.

2. When you're trying to finish a movie late at night

The internal battle of seeing the ending or getting some shut eye is REAL.

3. Staying up late texting someone 

No matter how badly you want to talk to them, sometimes your body just can't take it anymore.

4. Doing boring work/ work you don't understand

Calculus homework < sleeping. Always.

5. When you see someone else yawn

Yawning is most DEFINITELY contagious and once I see someone yawn I can't help but feel sleepy too. (Be honest, didn't this make you yawn?)

6. After not eating enough during the day

If your body doesn't get the fuel it needs, it just decides to sleep instead!

7. Or not drinking enough water

Dehydration = exhaustion. No questions about it.

8. When you finally get out of bed after snoozing your alarm

The hardest urge to fight is to go back to bed or not to go back to bed.

9. A few hours after drinking a cup of coffee

Because everything that goes up must come down, including the energy that you get from caffeine.

10. Any day where you got less than 8 hours the night before 

Because sleep is important, you can't live without it!:)

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
