Scrambled Egg Brain Syndrome

Mid-February. Senior year. Dead of winter. My goodness, my body and brain are exhausted. I have coined the term “scrambled egg brain” to define how I currently am feeling just about every afternoon of everyday. Interested in knowing if you suffer from scrambled egg brain too? If you say yes to any of the 5 signs below, it is safe to say you and I are in the same boat.

5 Signs You Have Scrambled Egg Brain

1. You find yourself taking naps any time you have a break longer than 10 minutes from school, work, meetings, etc.

Self-explanatory…napping is key to survival.

2. Dry shampoo is your new perfume.

Showering is overrated these days anyway, am I right?

3. You do your laundry at 3 a.m.

Because let’s be honest you probably have at least one other person (if not four) who are using the same washer and dryer as you and 3 a.m. is the only available time. Also the only time you remember that your work uniform is still dirty and your next shift is tomorrow. Or you follow the advice given by Nick Miller above.

4. You have to-do lists written everywhere.

Basically any piece of paper has “to-do list” written in all capital letters and underlined twice. Following those intimidating words is chicken scratch writing of at least 5 things you need to finish, buy or not forget to do. It drives you insane.

5. Ice cube trays are never filled and your Brita filter is always empty.

You want to cry because well...warm water just doesn't taste the same. Cold water will never be taken for granted. EVER AGAIN.

You may ask, how do you deal with scrambled egg brain?

Is there a super secret special cure? Stay tuned…because once I find out how to best solve this new…situation and state of mind you could say, I will be the first to share.

For right now, the only thing I can suggest is caffeine. Lots and lots of caffeine.
