The Thoughts Of An Ultimate List-Maker

When you lust for lists.

The Thoughts Of An Ultimate List-Maker
Lindsey Pyatt

Hi. Monica Geller's spirit animal, here. Today we are going to talk about lists, and by lists, I mean the 3 or 4 (or 6 or 7) bullet points that dictate my entire day/week/life.

I thought it would only be fitting to explain the thoughts of a true list maker in a list:

1. Which font should I use?

2. *Having sticky notes and gel pens available at all times" (On a hike? Need a highlighter? I got you.)

3. This needs to be color coded.

4. Bullet points are not just points, but arrows and diamonds and squares, too. Each one means something different and they have the power to speak to you.

5. Dang it. I need to rewrite this list because I thought of something else.

6. Never wondering when the lists were made because they were sure as heck accurately dated

7. Avoiding the things you actually have to do by spending too much time making your said to do list.

8. "Hold that thought! I need to make a list really quick"

9. Oh man, this one needs to be laminated.

10. Not understanding why people pay for therapy when you can just make a list- duh.

Let's be real, lists get us through. Today, alone, I bet I have added six lists to my "Lindsey Lists" folder on Google Drive. Yes, I have a folder because who wants to make beautiful lists that go to waste? (I may or may not go back and look at them). We all know we love to make lists, but in reality, the best part is checking things off.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
