Troll Guide: The Perfect Times To Take Naps
CampusRiot

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
