13 Things You Know If You're Obsessed With Planning
Buzzfeed

If college has taught me one thing, it's that I'm a planner. Much to the frustration of my friends, I have to leave for classes way early, and if they're in the same class, I drag them with me. I plan every day out down to the hour. It makes me feel organized. So, here are 13 things you know if you're obsessed with planning:

1. The Notes App Is Your Best Friend

Whether it's writing down reminders, homework, or important dates, the Notes app is a planner's holy grail.

2. Cute Journals Are Just The Beginning

Think of all the possibilities of a blank page!

3. You Run Out Of Highlighters More Than You Care To Admit

And you don't even want to get started on your pen collection.

4. Checking Off A To-Do List Is The Best Feeling

It's your way of convincing yourself that you're on top of life.

5. You Can Never Have Too Many Sticky Notes

They're so colorful! What's not to love about them??

6. You Know You'll Like A Professor If They Have A Detailed Syllabus

You now know every assignment you'll have to complete, and when you'll have to complete it from now until finals week. BLESS!

7. And, You Know You'll Hate It If They Change The Syllabus

I just spent hours planning my life around this syllabus and you're telling me it's DIFFERENT? I refuse to accept this.

8. You Get Confused When People Don't Schedule Their Lives

How do you function??

9. You Love To Organize Your Room

A place for everything and everything in its place.

10. You Ask For Planners For Every Holiday And Birthday

Even if you already have five unused ones. You need MORE.

11. You Add Everyone To Your iCloud Calendar

That way you can be absolutely certain you won't miss anything.

12. Surprises Make You Nervous

This wasn't in my planner!!

13. If Everyone Planned Like You, Life Would Be Way Easier

You know it, Iknow it. But the rest of the world just isn't ready for it.

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

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.

We are all born to do something great. 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.
