Sleepisthesecrettomysuccess

I feel as though I did not even have a summer. Yeah, everybody says that the summer just flies by, but this is ridiculous. Here I am four weeks into the semester and the work just keeps on flowing with no end in sight. The sole thing that I desire for every day is, of course, the one thing that I can never get: SLEEP!

I am a junior and experienced in the ways of college life, but I can never full) prepare myself to tackle the insurmountable task of getting enough sleep and never being tired. A day that I do not reluctantly crawl out of bed and drudge through the day would be the happiest day of my life. I would think that I have reached my salvation. However, I do not see this happening in either the near or far future.

I have searched for the answer to my problem and have come to the conclusion that no solution exists. Of course, someone will suggest going to bed early. Well, thanks, Captain Obvious, but my life will not allow me to do this.

As an editor, the Loquitur keeps me busy, to say the least. Monday and Tuesday nights are my busiest and most hectic nights because of the Loquitur. Once I leave the newsroom on these nights-and at what time this happens each night, no one knows-I almost inevitably have to go back to my room and start a paper or do some type of work for the rest of my classes.

By the time I have done absolutely everything that I have to do for the next day, it is the next day. I jump into bed with hopes of deep sleep, but then I hear the alarm and it is time to start another day of sleep deprivation.

To all those minds out there screaming '·procrastination," forget it. There simply aren't enough ing, I need to sleep for 24 hours straight or more. Even if I could lie in bed all day just once and do absolutely nothing, I would be ecstatic. If I did not have to pick up a book, write a paper or do any type of school-related work for just one solitary day and simply relax. I would be in heaven.

I know that neither of these dreams will come true; therefore, I am basically left to dealing with my lack of sleep and hoping that one day I will not be drained and exhausted from the daily routine of college life.
