Not all catnaps are created equal.

The Ultimate Guide To The Best Types Of Naps

Have you ever thought, "gee, I could really use a nap right now"? Of course you have. If you're reading this, you are probably a college student procrastinating all that homework and studying by scrolling through Facebook and reading articles written by writers who are also tired, procrastinating college students such as yours truly. Well friends, that procrastination usually results in an epic, study-free, relaxing, fantastic nap. However, not all naps are created equal, so here is my list of the best naps you can possibly take.

1. The Seventh Inning Sleep

Have you ever slept through a baseball game? No, not at an actual baseball game; I mean a nap while your favorite team is playing on your TV and it's just unexciting enough that you pass out during the bottom of the third inning and wake up in the top of the eighth. You generally see all of the important parts of the game and you get a good hour catnap in just in time to see who won. This is nap perfection, folks.

2. The Food Network Nod-Off

This nap works for any food or cooking related show really, but a personal favorite is "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." You glide in and out of sleep, and every time you awaken, there is food present on your TV for your viewing pleasure. It's a life-changing experience, I swear.

3. The I AM GOING TO SLEEP RIGHT HERE

No matter how uncomfortable you may appear, how strange of a place you're in, or how loud it may be, this style of nap comes upon you once in a great while when you least expect it. Maybe you're in the middle of a lecture, doing something important, haven't slept for four days straight, or just happen to find a comfortable spot at a party. Whatever it may be, just accept the nap. Odds are you need it, and it needs you, too.

4. The Snore-Worthy Movie

There are certain movies that you've seen two hundred times and are played consistently on TBS at 1:00 a.m. Once you put it on, there's no way you're going to stay awake. Try as you may, this movie is so comforting, like an old friend that you just have to accept it and pass out on your couch. By the time you wake up, infomercials are probably on and it's time for a full night's sleep.

5. The Road Trip Doze

Road trips are fun and all, but you have to sleep at some point. You claim the backseat, sprawl across its entirety, and fall asleep to whatever mix CD you have playing. No lie, I've had some of my best naps somewhere in Indiana.

6. The Too Much To Do Nap

Ever had so much to do that instead you just take a nap for three hours? Yeah, me too.

7. The Nothing-To-Do Snooze

Ever had nothing at all to do so you take a nap for three hours? Yeah, me too.

8. The Planned Siesta

If you truly have to be productive, you just schedule a nap for the next day. That's what gets you through all of the productivity and effort: the night-light at the end of the tunnel.

9. The Tomorrowland Sleep

This is the nap that is supposed to be "just five minutes" and then you wake up 12 hours later and it's tomorrow. Oops.

Naps are the bomb.com, no matter what kind of nap. Some naps are superior to others, but all naps are special in their own way. So go ahead, avoid that project, and take a nap. Or finish it, and then take a nap. Whatever nap floats your boat, man.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
