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.

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.
