Sleepiness

Sleep…one of the most important things that the human body needs. Lately it’s something I have not been getting enough of and I know I’m not the only one. Every day as I walk through the halls I see students that look so tired and even in class people will often doze off. For whatever reason everyone always seems exhausted and lacking motivation. What surprises me is that this is not only happening within the upperclassmen, but this even includes the lowerclassmen! When I look back at freshman and sophomore year I don’t remember ever being tired, but now I as I talk to many freshmen and sophomores all they say is how they’re so tired. It is really unfortunate that they are already tired because they still have a long way to go lol.

Even though I am so fortunate to have the privilege to attend school it’s becoming a real struggle to wake up in the mornings. I have to set three different alarms just to make sure that I will wake up in time to shower and get ready. Even with my multiple alarms I always seem to be running late. On Friday it was a miracle that I was able to pick myself out of bed. I realize that our time here at St. Joes is coming to an end; we only have 3 months left! It may seem like a long time, but we’ll be wearing caps and gowns in the blink of an eye. So this coming week I will try something new, as soon as I wake up I will start my day off with a few positive thoughts. Even though it will most likely be a little hard to be positive considering I’ll want to continue sleeping, I want to change my outlook and try to be happier in the last stretch of my high school career.

PS- never get pasta from The Pizza Factory because you will get food poisoning, which leads to throwing up, which leads to a miserable weekend ;)
