My two choices would be “Good Grades” and “Social Life”, because I feel like sleep is a waste of time.
Sure everyone needs sleep, but there’s only so much time in a day, in your life.
I can’t remember the last time I actually fell asleep before 12AM in order to get a full night of sleep. By choice, since the 10th grade, I have been consistently sleeping around or after 2AM. Now I often find myself fully awake at the wee hours of the day, much later than 2AM, watching the sun shine through the curtains hiding my room. It’s weird, but I feel like I don’t get nearly as tired as others around me when they complain about getting little sleep the night before. This works for me in that I don’t need to waste my time in my bed. During the day I’m socializing/playing and at night (past 2AM), I’m doing school work (most of the time). I want the most of my life and this seems to be my preferred choice at this moment in my life and I’m happy with it.
Sure I look over at my bed, and savor the feeling of my comforter and memory foam, but then I think that instead, I could be working out, or hanging out, or even just watching an episode of “How I Met Your Mother”.
Too many things seem to be happening at once in my life and with my need to take part in all of them, sleep takes a backseat or even the trunkspace. I know not getting enough sleep is unhealthy, my mom’s been nagging me since middle school and still does so, but in reality, college doesn’t allow for sleep. What I mean is, sure if all I did was study during the day I could sleep at night, but from what I want to gain from my college experience, it doesn’t allow for much sleep.
I know there are others like me, those who I small talk with while walking back from Powell at 5AM, or those whom I make uncomfortable eye contact with in lounges late at night. So here’s to you guys as well.
WDYDWYD?
Because I feel like I need more time.
