The Simple Pleasures Of Being An Over Planner

Everything that is so oddly satisfying about being a planner.

The Simple Pleasures Of Being An Over Planner

Yes, I am a planner. I enjoy knowing what I will be doing 20 minutes from now, and where I will be 30 years from now. If you feel like any/all of these next comments contribute to what is oddly satisfying to you, then you should share this article with your friends and family because you are as much as a planner as I am.

1. I already know what my wedding will be like; all I’m missing is the groom.


2. My hobbies include Pinterest-ing my future home and organizing each of the imaginary rooms of that house.

3. I have at least 30 notes on my phone with all of the things that I am currently planning. These include but are not limited to: Names for future pets, Names of my future children (obviously categorized by boy or girl), places I want to travel to (divided by whether or not I have been there before or not), amongst others.

4. My favorite app on my phone is Reminders because it tells me what I should be doing right now, what should already be done and what I will be doing in every second of my life.

5. I prefer to plan about what and when I should study than actually studying.

6. My closet has a weird system that only I understand and if someone tries to mess with it, I hyperventilate until I can get it back to the way I like it.

7. I find an odd satisfaction when I can see every end of my desk because everything is organized and put where it should be.

8. I have a folder for every part of my life that is so full with paper and information that I have to clip together so that it doesn’t fall apart.

9. When people tell me: “You probably won’t need to print this because you can find it online whenever you want,” I don’t understand what they mean because I can’t put sticky notes on your online power points, lady!

10. Sometimes I don’t get stuff done in time because I was too busy planning about them… And then I have to re-plan to make up for everything that needs to get done.

11. Planning for this article, I did about 3 preliminary lists just preparing to write it in the future.

12. I have a list of recipes that I will never actually make but that I have looked up at least three times already.

13. My family is the same way. We know exactly who’s house we are going to be spending each holiday, what are we cooking, and what will be the proper etiquette of dress and decorations for each.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
