10 Fabulous Symptoms Of An Overachiever

the overachiever. Everyone always sees us a threat, because we try and we try very hard. We want to be the best, and we want everything to be over the top. So, going beyond just seems too superficial for regular people. But to us, we just feel FAB!!

We are in every club on campus

Overachievers can’t say no! So we are pretty much the one student that is literally in every club on campus. Everyone usually knows; and we always get asked, “How do you do all of that?” We reply with. “Don’t ask “. We are just that bad a*s! #DIVAS

We are the "Ultimate Student

We make good grades. Our planners are vivid in color. We approach things fiercely, and we strive really hard in making everyone happy. Like I mentioned in #2, we do EVERYTHING. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. More than likely you are the teachers pet. Your professors know you by name and can always count on you to be the person to talk in the 8 A.M. Class.

Our relationships suck

We cant really hold a relationship for too long because we let our dreams and vision get in the way. We cant always be there for you. We may leave you stranded, or feeling, when really we are just trying to get things done. Trust me, we feel bad because its midnight and we haven’t texted or called you. To them we are wishy-washy. But to us we are just trying to check off our daily list. So, finding a person that can truly deal with our schedule is hectic.

Sleep.. is NOT on the agenda

Our days consists of meetings, class, lunch, and homework that must be done… so sleep is the last thing we get to do. We sleep the next day! 3 A.M. is a perfectly good bedtime for overachievers, only to wake up and finish where we left off.

OCD/ Throwing Shade is very common

The way we see things, everything has to be a certain way. Everything has a place. If its not there, we will go crazy! Our friends think we are just too darn picky. But really, we just have a set way of how things should be done. And if we don’t like something, you WILL KNOW!!. How DARE you tell us what to do, we have it covered, THANK YOU!

Those who shop with you think you are a diva

When we go shopping, we pretty much have an idea of what we want, we go to specific stores and we look FOR THAT THING. We don’t like to be followed around by the sales clerk; we pretty much already have a general idea of what we need. SO LEAVE US ALONE when we go shopping.

Every minute is crucial

Going to meetings are mandatory, and our time is very valuable. If you tell us to go somewhere or be somewhere at a certain time. SHOW UP AND BE THERE! Leave at the time you are supposed to leave. More than likely we somewhere else to be, don’t waist our time! Friend time is planned out to the max – we do have to fit you in the schedule. So please remind us! If we forget, it’s not our fault! Just know we were being productive.

"DO MORE" is our motto

When we see our friends on Facebook posts amazing things, we don’t get jealous. Instead we are always asking ourselves what can we do push ourselves. We strive to be the best, so we give more and more. We push ourselves to the max – we end up irritable, and sometimes depressed. We always feel like there is MORE to be done. Our resume is 3 pages. But us overachievers are like "how can we make it 6???"

We are failure-phobic

Its pretty much self explanatory. We are so scared of failing and disappointing others, so we take on so much responsibility that we worry ourselves with not meeting our own standards. We set high standards for others, and ourselves. If we don’t complete a task in a tasteful way, we feel like we have failed.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
