The Thoughts That Fill Your Mind at Night

I find it so incredibly frustrating when there are nights that you just cannot fall asleep. You know you have to because you have to wake up early the next morning and there are a lot of things on your “to do list” and you need the sleep in order to successfully accomplish all of them, but that is the very thing that keeps you from drifting off effortlessly into a deep slumber. WHY?! It is always those incredibly important nights that you need your rest the most that you are incapable of dosing off because you are left worrying about how you did on that Spanish exam, your big presentation in speech that is coming up at ten the next day, if so-and-so likes you, wondering if you should buy that cute shirt you saw at Urban Outfitters the other day, if you should have really eaten that delicious but incredibly greasy piece of pizza at dinner (the answer clearly being yes), going through the list of things you need to buy during your next Wal-Mart trip, count on your fingers how many hours you have left to sleep, accidentally start humming a song you heard in the bathroom while getting ready for bed. Then you realize that you have to go to the bathroom. You let out a sigh of frustration because you know that as soon as you get back to bed the process is going to start over again. You can no longer ignore the pressure that is building up and so you awkwardly climb out of bed and make your way to the toilet trying not to wake up your roommate. You are finally back to the warmth of your bed ready to start from square one.
