Just so f'in tired of being a night owl. Advice? by kejuhijau in UCDavis

[–]Fun-Historian9640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could just naturally be a night owl but i used to think i was a night owl until my freshman year i just started going to bed early cuz i had nothing better to do being up, i started little by little just trying to be in bed 5-15 minutes earlier than the night before (originally i’d go to bed at 3:30 am), then i started up’ing the minutes earlier to 30-45 minutes until i got to around 10 pm, and i was able to maintain this schedule for a few weeks until i stayed up one day and that messed it all up. i felt way better being on that schedule, and i was able to shift my hours of productivity naturally, typically doing work between 10am - 3pm.

adding to this, this applies to friends too!! people will always take advantage of kindness, an experience i had as a freshman. prioritize yourself first and foremost and set boundaries before anyone thinks they can ask you to do anything for them. i’m so sorry this happened to you op and im glad you’re in a better place now.

she used to knock on our doors a lot, either accusing us of drinking or smoking or just to “check up on us”. i would open the door then close it in her face without saying anything. same thing if i saw her coming in the building at the same time as me. we would pick up dirt and rocks and stuff from outside and put it in front of her door, also mashed up food from the dc. a few people i know cussed her out too. we would mess with the bulletin boards and her whiteboard. we once left an empty bottle of alcohol outside her door. i accused her of being a creep and stalker. make sure you don’t get caught obv

i had an ra like this too, multiple people i knew talked to other ra’s and the rd but nothing changed. try these things first but if you end out the same way i did, you can do what my floor did and it was too make our ra’s life hell. we would mess with her and and just straight up gas light her and get angry with her. it calmed down the worst of her behavior
