naps are a beautiful thing

College:
1) Good grades
2) A Social Life
3) Sleep
...now pick two.

This has basically been the bane of my existence for the last three months. When numbers 1 and 2 are chosen, number 3 becomes a distant and far off figment of your imagination. Therefore, the only remedy for this is naps.
Now where do these naps occur you might ask? Not in a bed, no no no, that is crazy talk. There is no time for napping in a bed.
You nap where ever you can.

Exhibit One: Outside of the theatre, a girl was completely knocked out face first on a low wall, her arms hanging off the side of it. To be honest, I thought she was dead for a second. Turning to the nearest stranger, I asked if she was alive. Together, we investigated the girl, watching her back rise and fall with sleep. She was in fact alive.

Exhibit Two: Everywhere you go, there is a couch. For the longest time I had no idea why there was a couch occupying virtually every available space on campus. But now I know their sole purpose is for naps. There is this guy who is the very definition of a Yooper/mountain man/lumber jack/grody, ironic hipster complete with a plaid shirt and the bushiest beard fast asleep, mouth hanging open with a newspaper over his face and an open MacBook on his lap.

Exhibit Three: This guy was the smart one. He found two trees in the academic mall and strung up a freaking hammock. Like who actually thinks "hm, today I will bring my hammock with me to nap in between classes"? Good thinking, kid. Way to anticipate the nap.

Exhibit Four: I will admit that I have too experienced an impromptu nap...or two. I was afraid I was going to be late to my class wayyyyy over yonder on the other side of campus in the Jacobetti building so I leave extra early. Lo and behold I get there 45 minutes early. What do I do? Claim a bench and sleep on it like a straight up hobo. It was fantastic. 

So don't be embarrassed next time you choose options number 1 and 2 because there is always room for number 3.
