Top 5 Methods for Sleeping in Class

Don't fight it, it's useless

Top 5 Methods for Sleeping in Class

We're almost halfway through the semester, and you know what that means! Crippling exhaustion! In order to cram in a few moments of REM between note-taking, here are a few of the best tactics.

1.The Baseball Cap

A cap is a handy tool which can be used on sunny days. Most professors don’t care if you wear them in class, they’re discreet and stylish, and to the outside observer, it just looks like you’re looking down. Enjoy your snooze!

2.The Laptop Shield

Look at you being studious and taking notes on your laptop! Luckily, it also creates the perfect shield for your closed eyes and even helps to muffle snoring.

3.The Elbow Lean

We’ve all used this one. One elbow on your desk, resting your chin on your hand. I think this is the reason that professor’s suit jackets have elbow pads. You may wake up with a sore joint, but at least you remained upright during your nap. Less discreet, but decently comfortable.

4.The Blanket Nest

Best when used during the winter. I’m not sure why some professors keep the window open even when it’s below freezing, but it provides you with the perfect excuse to bring a cozy blanket to class. In order to fully envelope yourself in a warm cocoon, it’s helpful to brace your knees against your desk. From there, build up a blanket cushion on your shoulder and just tilt your head to the side a little bit. Sweet dreams!

5.The Dead Body

Just roll out of your desk onto the floor. Resign yourself to your fate. We all knew it was gonna happen eventually. Hopefully, you’ll wake up before class ends.

...There's also whatever this guy's doing.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
