10 Truths You Know If You're Overambitious But Also Lazy

1. The Path Of Least Resistance Is The Path You're Taking To Complete That Assignment.

If that means breaking it up, you break all the work up into individual time slots on different days. If it requires you to meet with a professor, you have the date scheduled within two hours. In order to cause yourself the least amount of stress, you try to complete every assignment the second it's assigned.

2. Your Favorite Thing To Do Is Sleep But You Also Love To Go Out.

The struggle is very real.

3. Time Management Is One Of Your Strengths.


In order to cope with your lazy side and ambitious side, you have everything timed. You know how much time you truly need to get things done. You know how long it takes to make flashcards for this class vs that class. You know approximately how long it takes you to memorize all 378 of the flashcards you made. You know how much time is required for you to commute and arrive at your lectures on time.

4. You Shift Into Maximum Overdrive When It Comes To Getting Your Work Done.

Although you can spend days doing absolutely nothing done, when it's time to get to it, you can't hold back. You will spend a total of seven days straight just working on an assignment if you have too. You don't need breaks. If you have to study for 11 straight hours you will no problem. You ensure every paper you turn in is done in the best format possible and for research assignments you've turned in a work cited longer than 2 pages. All those hours of sitting on the couch have prepared you for long periods of time spent studying without moving an inch.

5. You're Always Tired.

Deep down inside all you really want to do is eat Domino's and watch Netflix all day.

6. You Know How To Cram.

As a professional procrastinator, you know every single method of cramming and what grade you will get depending on which method is used. You know for extremely last-minute cramming reading, each page of notes 3 times will get you a passing grade. However, since your overly ambitious that does not cut it. AKA you wind up studying for 13 hours straight to get the A.

7. These Two Qualities Impact Other Areas Of Your Life.

For example, I can be a complete couch potato but I can also spend a total of 4 hours straight working out in a gym.

8. A Lot Of People Think You're Crazy.


Yes, my paper is 30 pages long. Is there an issue?

9. You Can Stretch Yourself Very Thin.


Sometimes your overambitious side goes a bit haywire. This causes you to overload your schedule with a million activities, internships, classes, and other obligations. Side effects include exhaustion and looking like a crazy person as you attempt to juggle it all.

10. In Group Projects You Tend To Self Appoint Yourself As The Organizer Of Everything.

You like to know that everything is getting done in a timely fashion. So you end up trying to organize every single aspect of the group project. What should be done when, and how it should be done, etc. You try not to be too annoying about this.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
