The Struggle Is Real

I have realized getting sleep, actual sleep, in college is a reward. You're up all night studying or taking notes -- bla bla and finally you say, "Ahh, now I can sleep." Its terrible honestly. Back in high school I could come home and take a nap whenever I pleased. Sleeping was a choice and something I decided to do at my will. In college, however, sleep is granted once all of the "to dos" are done. Sleep is gold. Getting a good nights rest is like finding a pot of gold near the ocean; highly unlikely. A typical day I find myself passing out or dying for a little bit and then coming back to life. Waking up is a painful experience and literally hurts. It hurts to wake up in college -- literally. I love sleep and throughout my life I find it necessary for my day to be good and for myself to function. Now, I have to flip my whole life around and put the most important things ahead of my sleeping. 1. Study for tomorrows test 2. Study for tuesdays test 3. Take notes on some ancient Greek man no one knows about 4. Re-teach myself the formula we learned in math even though in the real world people just use calculators 5. Do Laundry 6. Try for a social life 7. Pass out unconscious. I look at myself as a living Iphone. Unfortunately, I am never fully charged and I am usually running on that bright red "10%" warning. After that, I find myself dying and recharging myself only to get up to say 40/50%. This is the life I live now. When is thanksgiving again??
