We all know as future leaders how easy it is to become overwhelmed and slightly insane. The only thing is, we can’t help it! When you choose to become an overachiever you sign a mental contract that things will never be the same. I dub thee forever crazy. Sorry to say your contributions will cost you.

Here are nine signs you are perfectly dysfunctional:

1. Your Calendar Dictates Your Life

Sorry friends, before I can make plans let me see if I’m free! You hate how pretentious this makes you seem but everything you do MUST be scheduled to give your memory a slight break. Remembering dates is too hard.

2. Bed Before the Morning? Lol

When you say you’re a night owl, you mean after the general population has fallen asleep. Technically you know you’re not nocturnal, but you wish someone made a general term for the consistent 2 a.m. to 4 a.m.-ers.

3. Taking on Absurd Tasks

As someone who hasn’t mastered the word no, you find yourself doing little things for people that quickly add up! Did you really need to help your friend pick up groceries? No, they’d probably still be your friend if you added "no" to your vocabulary.

4. Challenging Yourself... On Purpose

Like any true overachiever, you like to think of yourself as the modern Renaissance man. Whether it be learning a new talent, language, or sport for the heck of it, you already have high credentials without new added challenges!

5. Planning Spontaneity

Your friends want to go for a quick brunch tomorrow. Sure, why not! As long as you make sure you wake up at around 8 or 9 a.m. to catch-up on the tasks you had planned to do during the hours of brunch. Don’t forget having the mobile-friendly version of your flashcards or homework so you can pretend to text as you study around friends having fun.

6. Irreplaceable Relationship with Electronics

Like I said, we DO NOT part from these. Without your phone or computer you feel so unconnected. With them, you might as well have a cape and superpowers because you’re invincible! Until you’re battery dies and you forgot your portable charger. Cue panic attack.

7. Your Special Talent: Smiling through Anxiety

This is the number one sign of perfectly dysfunctional. You are so great at pulling a genuine smile throughout the day it's scary because we know inside, the harder you’re smiling the more anxious you are! Bless your roommate because they’re typically the only ones who see the anxiety under the smile unfold.

8. If You Look Good, You Feel Good

This isn’t a foolproof plan but for the most part, you are more sane when you look like you have yourself together. Keep tricking yourself that if your outfit is bomb then so is everything in your ideal mind. But realistically, we also know that adding a wrinkled shirt to your stressful day is detrimental.

9. Scheduling Alcohol

Whether it be wine, vodka, or in severe cases tequila, at the end of the week you make sure you get your vice in. Worse case scenario, you get through all your work with the help of liquid courage. Everyone deals with stress differently and you defend your addiction by showcasing your achievements to prove you can do both!

10. The Unofficial 10 – No Odd Numbers

All of my overachievers live by lists. And secretly I knew you were a little agitated by only having nine signs so I put in one extra to deactivate your perfectionist sirens when you see odd numbers!

Breathe, you’re not alone!
