Letting go of the perfect life in college
(02/06/21 5:00pm)
Between 8 and 9 p.m. every evening, I begin my nightly routine. Those who know me know that texting me during this time almost certainly yields a response of “I’m about to go to bed, but...” I change into a big T-shirt, make a cup of tea and get under the covers, positioning my laptop, mug and phone all within reach. Ideally, I’ll be asleep before 10 p.m.; I want to be asleep before 10 p.m. But I can’t tell you the last time I was actually asleep before 10 p.m.
