  • early mornings
  • no sleep
  • sleeping in class
  • caffeine
  • procrastination
  • stress

  • attendance school
  • pleading with teachers to give you last last 0.2% needed to give you that letter grade one above your current grade

  • when you sleep more deeply on the floor than in your bed
  • breakfast for dinner
  • the general idea of brunch
  • Diet Coke and Coke Zero (I feel like these are pretty much the same product, just one is marketed differently)
Friday Night
  • sometimes a basketball game which may or may not be giving out free shirts to the first 150 fans and/or free sandwiches from Gandolfo's
  • perhaps a riveting game of Monopoly
  • bloody knuckles
  • watching toddlers and tiaras until all hours of the night, and then driving home (shout out to the family of approximately 13 deer that were hosting the next stage of the Occupy Movement; Occupy Dalton Ave.)
  • maybe a wedding reception or two
  • crashing dances in aforementioned wedding reception attire
  • relaxation
  • a song
  • some Netflix
