Troll Guide: The Perfect Times To Take Naps

If there's one thing that all college students have in common, it's a love for napping.

In high school, if you saw a kid sleeping in the library or some other place on campus you would judge them a little. But if you see someone sleeping somewhere random in college, your first thought is, if you have time in your schedule, to join them.

It's a beautiful thing, really, the way all college students love naps, regardless of gender, major, political leanings, friend group or any other difference one could imagine.

The only down side to naps is how hard they can be to make time for. College students are busy people, and with all that busyness it can be tough to carve out time for a good nap.

But never fear, students of Trinity Christian College! I'm here with an (almost) official guide to the best times to take naps...don't worry, you can thank me later, when you're well rested.

1. The Lunch Break on M/W/F

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday there's a beautiful 40 minutes in-between when 11:00 classes end and 12:30 classes start. Technically, this time period is set aside so students can eat lunch, but sometimes crawling into bed for a quick nap can do you more good than a meal would, so this is definitely a time to consider catching up on sleep.

2. 10 A.M. on Mondays

This one's pretty obvious, but it deserves recognition none the less. That glorious hour on Mondays where there are no scheduled classes because of the chapel hour on Wednesdays and Fridays is the perfect time to catch up on all the sleep you missed over the weekend. If you're unfortunate enough to have a meeting or some other commitment scheduled during this time, my thoughts will be with you...as soon as I wake up just in time to make it to my 11:00 class.

3. Saturday Morning After Lunch

It's perfect. You set your alarm to go off at 11:50 a.m. You roll out of bed to get to the caf at noon. Then after eating, you can be back in bed by 12:30 p.m. (12:15 if you're ambitious enough). The short lunch periods on the weekend can be annoying, but hey, at least it makes eating less invasive of your nap schedule.

4. Reading Day

The only thing that doesn't happen on Reading Day is actual reading. And sure, you could take this random day off to go home or plan a weekend in the city with friends. But why not try and spend the whole day napping? Definitely a challenge to consider taking on as one of every Trolls' favorite days of the year approaches.

5. While Waiting for Your Food at the BBC

Let's be real here - I work at the BBC and while we are definitely hustling back there trying to keep up with everyone's orders, we all know it can take a while to get your food if you order right when meal swipes start. It can be frustrating waiting for your food to be made, especially on an empty stomach. Maybe consider using this down time to take a nap. The best part is that you can use your buzzer as an alarm clock, and wake up just in time to enjoy the best sandwiches on campus.

These are my favorite times on campus to squeeze in a quick nap. But what about you, fellow Troll? Have you figured out any breaks in the campus schedule that are just long enough for a quick nap? Comment any suggestions you have down below...your classmates will all be eternally grateful.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
