What My Busy Schedule Says About My Personality

I like having a busy schedule.

As a sophomore in college, I have a lot of control over my schedule, but I somehow still fill it. Some students love to take the minimum 12 credit hours, skate through the semester, nap for five hours and watch Netflix the other hours in the day. Then there is me. I am in 16 credit hours, have an internship and other extracurriculars on my plate.

I always seem to be on the run, but I like it that way.

I can't tell you how many times I have woken up at 7 a.m. and have not had a chance to rest until 11 p.m. that evening this school year.

It is usually a day where I get up, review for an exam, take the exam, go to my other classes, eat lunch, go to work, go to a meeting and then sit down and work on homework.

My phone is close to fully charged because I haven't had chance to scroll through Instagram. I couldn't even tweet about my stress. The most I have done is document my day on Snapchat to my friends.

There are five places you can always seem to find me: the library, the newsroom, class, work or the study room in my sorority house. I have had a busy schedule for as long as I can imagine, but it's not the quantity that I am involved in that keeps me busy, it is the quality of work that I put in. I prefer it this way though.

Now maybe I am a little crazy, or I am really crazy, your choice. I prefer to stay bist though. I do enjoy catching up on my favorite shows on Hulu and Netflix, but pressing "next episode" leads me to boredom and restlessness. I find myself wanting to do something. Having a busy schedule keeps me on my toes.

My busy schedule also has helped me develop my time management skill, which is one of my favorite attributes. I don't have time to procrastinate, so everything is organized and I try to stay on top of it all.

My planner, Apple Watch and calendar on my iPhone are my biggest companions. Everything is written down.

My schedule some days is stressful. It is days like these where I am grateful though. I am grateful for the university I attend, the major that I love and am working toward a degree in. I am thankful for the friends that push me forward and cheer me on.

Some people don't want a busy schedule, but I think my busy schedule is a part of me.

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.
