Well, in the waiting room, while waiting for news of you, I hallucinated I could read your mind

The best time to make a blog post is when you do not, in fact, have time to make a blog post.

I've been spending a lot of my time napping lately, which wouldn't be so tragic if I actually had time to nap. At random points throughout the day, I end up stumbling into my room and falling asleep without any warning (but not before blearily setting the alarm on my phone, because who wants to sleep through dinner?), and then I always wake up not knowing what time it is, or what day it is. I've actually woken up a couple times this week convinced that it's Thursday afternoon and that I have missed my POL 152 final. Putting aside the fact that I am clearly very worried about oversleeping and missing my last final (for reasons unknown), my point is that naps, which are most commonly used as some kind of de-stressing technique, should be completely banned from your life if they are only causing you more stress (read: disorientation, racing heartbeat, NIGHTMARES ABOUT MY SISTER THROWING MY COMPUTER OUT A WINDOW...the list is endless).

I think the problems I'm having with naps probably indicate that I'm just having problems with stress in general, but as long as I stay awake I feel fine. Let's not mention the fact that I haven't actually left my apartment to do anything other than make an impromptu Starbucks run since Saturday. Actually, that's a lie -- I drove to the Commons to get a sandwich from Habit burger yesterday. Could poor diet also be contributing to the frequency of my nap terrors? My dad would say yes, but there isn't a lot I can do about it right now. I've been eating a lot of cereal.

As for the people I know who are going through tough times right now, I have one thing to say:


So you've given me all these things and I don't want you to think that I don't appreciate them -- because I do -- but all I really want from you today is a smile. [via pleasefindthis]
