A Day In The Life Of A Lazy Overachiever

Life is to hard to have it together 24/7.

A Day In The Life Of A Lazy Overachiever

I think we can all admit to ourselves that we have dreamt of being that person who is always on time, always organized, and is always going the extra mile. However, those people are what I like to refer to as 'unicorns' which is just my way of saying very rare in real life. Whoever can keep their life together 24/7 and look sane while doing it deserves an award. I strive to be known as one of those 'unicorns'. However, I have a huge downfall that prevents me from achieving such a status and that is my laziness. I'm sure that everyone reading can relate to having a long day at work and coming home and just crashing on the couch for the rest of the night. That is what normal people do after hard days. I, however, seem to do that almost everyday. I usually try to start my day strong with an early run or a trip to the gym before work and that gives me a great start to my day. But because I've just worked out I never want coffee, which I need to consume to make it through the day. After I workout and shower I get myself ready for work. I work usually an eight to ten hour shift with a lunch break. i really enjoy my job and especially because it has to do with my future career I want to impress my employers and coworkers. Therefore, I try to look my best everyday and I try to have a good work ethic.

Also I am usually still inspired and motivated after my morning workout so I pack a chicken salad and some type of fruit for lunch to try and keep the healthy lifestyle alive. Sometimes I even bring my life planner that I spent way too much money on to work so I can pencil in my schedule and look more organized. At this point my shift is more than halfway over and I usually get hungry, so I'll take a quick break to grab a snack and then finish my shift off on a good note. Up to this point I feel good about myself and all that I've been able to accomplish in such a short time. So, naturally, this is when things start to take a turn for the worst. I get home and immediately either head straight for more food or plop myself down on my living room couch. If I decided to get food I'll bring enough for a person to last three days into the living room with me so I can eat and watch whatever show is on HGTV at that time. Usually thirty minutes or an hour into this I realize that I could potentially be doing something productive so I could stay organized and my life would run smoother. However, I do not have the willpower to stop relaxing and get up to do something I don't really want to do. On one hand, yes, I want to be prepared for whatever I need to be prepared for, but, on the other hand, I want to sit down and see if the couple decides to love it or list it. So, I will continue to sit there until I get an enticing offer to do something or I get tired enough where I decide to get up and go to bed. Once I make ti to my room I will then realize all the stuff I should have been doing while I was doing nothing. I will then come to regret every decision I have made since I got back form work and make a list of things for myself to do the next day. Which lets be honest here, probably won't happen.

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.
