Finals are so close. Every project and paper is hitting you like a ton of bricks. Your work load is through the roof and all you need to do is just work on it bit by bit, but all you want to do is nap.

But alas, that’s the one thing you can’t do.

1. Your bed and floor are covered in work that you need to do.

You might even attempt to sleep on the work because you just need to nap THAT bad, but you know that still won’t suffice as the nap you desperately need/want.  

2. Two words: inconvenient construction.

3. You’re too busy. 

You barely have time to pee, let alone have free time to nap in between activities.

4. You’ve drank so much caffine in the past 24 hours that you literally cannot sleep.

5. Class is at optimal sleeping times.

Don’t professors know that we need to take a nap at 3 pm every day in order to function like real people/get through all the work they assigned?

6. Again, there are just NOT enough hours in the day.

And it’s very, very frustrating.

But when the time finally comes, and you have time to take one little snooze, it’s like heaven on Earth.

Enjoy your naps college students, they’ll be the best moments of your finals.
