Something About Responsibility

My sophomore year of college, I consistently stayed awake until 3 in the morning, slept for 4 hours, and then went to class at 8 am. I had a blast that year and didn't see any effects from that insane schedule. I didn't fail any classes; I actually did well.

However, more than a few years have passed since those fateful nights, and I can no longer handle the late nights and early mornings. Every now and then I think, "I've got this!" I stay up late and have a great time laughing with my friends, but then morning rolls around a little too quickly. Last night was one night too many in a row for me; I had to literally drag myself out of bed. I'm having a hard time concentrating on anything other than sleep and food at the moment. Thankfully, the things that I've needed to accomplish at the office haven't required much brain power.

Don't be like me; be responsible and get enough sleep. Responsibility isn't always fun, but it makes me a much better co-worker.

As my co-worker told me today, "Don't be yourself, be nice!" I resent that; I'm a nice person, right?
