Having A Planner Changed My Life

When your life is chaos, at least make it organized chaos.

Having A Planner Changed My Life
Miranda Myers

I don't know about y'all, but I am a busy little bee almost all the time. I have lots of meetings, homework assignments, exams to take, people to see, and work. I struggled super hard when I didn't have something to help organize my time in a way that is constructive for a long time. In high school, I never used a physical planner, and I started using one once I started college and my life was forever changed.

I bought a plum paper planner last summer, and Y'all. It is amazing, it was completely customizable and they also do monthly STICKER SUBSCRIPTIONS. I am HYPE about it because I am very pro-sticker for my planners. That's beside the point though, I basically have my entire life color-coded in my little 5 by 7 planner. I list out my class and work times, I list out my homework assignments in each class' respected color, I list out my meetings, put down when I go to church, and I also make sure to make my planner look fun with.... you guessed it! Stickers.

It helps me feel like my life is somehow put together in all its crazy glory. I try to keep organized because not having that sense of organization throws my life into complete and actual chaos. It took a while to figure out if I prefer hourly planners vs. a planner with lines that are up to me to fill out. I found that I didn't like hourly planners because my handwriting is large, and I prefer to have the space to write everything down on a single line as opposed to like... 5. I also found out that I liked adding stickers in because it makes my planner look more fun and less plain. This obviously isn't going to be how it is for everyone, but these are things that I have used that help me stay organized in this crazy thing called life. I constantly forget things so it's so nice having my planner and being able to see what I have to do and what I have to do to get those things done and out of the way.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

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. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
