1. You love your planner.

You take pride in having a beautiful and well organized planner. Different colored pens and highlighters are your best friends. Your planner is filled with symbols and different colors, all signifying something different.

2. "No" does not exist in your vocabulary.

The hard part about being an overachiever is that you constantly get asked to take on more jobs and tasks. You always feel compelled to say yes, even if you know you are already super busy.

3. You love making lists.

You have ten lists of “Things to Do” sitting on your desk and taped to your door, but you know crossing each item off is an accomplishment in itself.

4. You constantly think about the future.

You're most likely an overachiever because you want to do well in the future. I am an overachiever because I want to get into the best graduate program, which will, in turn, lead me to land my dream job.

5. Free time?

You're busy, but you love it. My daily schedule is always busy. Whether I am at work, a philanthropy event, the gym, a sorority meeting, studying, doing an extra credit assignment or homework, I sometimes forget free time even exists.

6. You are a dreamer.

As realistic as you can be, there's no doubt you are a dreamer who is deeply focused on the future. You have so many goals set and you cannot wait to achieve them. You continue to strive to do your best and make yourself proud each day.

7. School is your #1 priority

Each semester you're determined to earn that 4.0 and see your name on the Dean’s List. You stay up all hours of the night perfecting your final paper or putting in a few extra hours of studying to help boost your test score. Your friends can find you in the library or with your professor during their office hours.

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.
