Definition For: A Sleepy Girl With A Busy Schedule

A nap? What's that? A crazy, funky, much needed nap.

If you're that girl who's always tired but is always on the run, these next three words are for you. I feel you.

You're in a constant state of delirium from lack of enough sleep. You start your days off bright and early with an 8 am class that you promised yourself wouldn't be so bad. Again. You plan out your day like Victoria Villarroel, Kylie Jenner's personal assistant, plans out Ms. Jenner's. Every minute of your day is calculated and reserved for a specific event. A half hour off schedule, you are completely thrown off.

The best part of all of this though is that no matter how much sleep you get that night, you will forever be tired. It's a never-ending cycle of exhaustion. You never win. There is no escape. A nap? What about it? You haven't had time for one of those since those days you refused to take them in pre-school.

You astonish yourself often, actually. You pile on responsibilities left and right as if you had all the time in the world to give. It never makes sense but you always follow through. You follow through with your eyes barely open and your coffee by your side. You meet every deadline with a great sense of achievement. You celebrate with a sigh of relief and move on to the next task.

Many people ask you how you do it? The answer is, as basic as it may sound, it's "a lifestyle". It's a lifestyle that you've grown accustomed to living throughout the years mostly because, in the beginning, you really may not have had a choice. Now, any moment of free time you have scares you. You start to over-think your daily agenda and question if maybe you have forgotten something. Being busy has turned into something of an addiction. You're addicted to being busy because you don't like time to go to waste. This mindset has its pros and cons.

If you're a sleepy girl with a busy schedule, I'm not here to tell you to chill. In fact, I understand it, I am also one. I feel like I'm going 100 miles an hour without stopping to get as much done in the day as I possibly can. It's an interesting topic because we do this to eliminate future stress while creating stress in the present. It's almost counter-intuitive.

Anyway, keep looking forward, squeeze in some time for yourself and hit the gym! Drink twice as much water as you do coffee and you got this!

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.
