Sleep Makes Everything Better

I learned that lesson today. Stressing about a paper that was due, an upcoming speech when I hate public speaking, having no money for gas and probably having to wrack up more credit charges just to pay for gas to get to school. But then I took a nap. Despite my pressing due date on the paper, I took a nap.

I woke up feeling so refreshed and ready to tackle the paper. Turned it in and did better than I thought. Today I learned that sleep makes everything better, and college students really should start getting more of it. Save the partying for the weekend, don't stress so much about grades. You shouldn't need to pull all nighters if you're keeping up with your classes.

Put down the books. Turn off the cell phone. Take a deep breathe. And get some sleep. My bit of wisdom for today.
