For me, my planner isn't just pages stuck together with a spiral binding. It's my life. Everything I do each day is written in my planner, and I'm not gonna lie, my planner is pretty colorful.

By this point in my life, my planner has become an extension of me as a person.

Not only do I use my planner to keep track of my classwork, but also stuff going on in my personal life. It's basically my life in book form.

Here are a few reasons you should have a planner in your life.

1. There are some REALLY cute planners out there!

Being able to write everything down helps you visualize what you have to do, and it can even help you figure out the most effective way to get it done! And taking notes from Leslie Knope, you can color code your planner to help you separate everything you have going on.

Side note -- it can also be a fun way to procrastinate. Planner decorating is an art form that few have mastered, but many hope to one day achieve.

3. It can prevent this from happening in your life.

Let's get real. We all have those days, and sometimes we can't avoid them. But other times, we can. Since I've started using my planner, I've noticed I've had significantly less stress-induced meltdowns. Funnily enough, I don't associate my planner with stress, because I love mine so much. It's a safe place for me to write down things to accomplish, and know that at the end of the week, each item will have a red line through it.

Bonus: You can always go back a few days and write things you've already done just to cross them off your list.

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.
