Why Napping In College Is Essential
Molly Riseman

We’re all college students, and it’s inevitable that we’re all probably going to take a nap at least once a day. If not, god bless you because I don’t know how you do it. Personally for me, napping is the most important part of the day. It’s the time where we don’t have to think about that paper that’s due at midnight, or all of the online Spanish homework you still haven’t completed.

Napping is “me” time, and in my opinion, it’s the best time. Where would we all be today if we didn’t get our daily naps in? We would still be going to bed at three a.m. and just generally tired and cranky. I mean in our house, if you walk in at about four or five any day, I guarantee you at least one person is sleeping, but that’s normal. I mean some of my roommates take it to the next level and just say screw class, sleeping is more important.

Even on the weekends when you do get a full eight hours asleep as opposed to three, you get up, make some coffee, pop a squat on the couch and in about ten to fifteen minutes, you’ll be out. Shopping or beach trips? Nah, those don’t happen till about five in the afternoon. If you have a good nap during the day, you know it's going to bed a good day. If you don't, and someone wakes you up, they better run because your day is now ruined.

The amount of times my mom has called me and said, “Well what time are you taking a nap?” Or “You took multiple naps today?! You’re not going to bed able to sleep later.” But mom, that’s college, we don’t sleep normal hours.

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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
