10 Truths You Know If You're Overambitious But Also Lazy

1. The Path Of Least Resistance Is The Path You're Taking To Complete That Assignment.

If that means breaking it up, you break all the work up into individual time slots on different days. If it requires you to meet with a professor, you have the date scheduled within two hours. In order to cause yourself the least amount of stress, you try to complete every assignment the second it's assigned.

2. Your Favorite Thing To Do Is Sleep But You Also Love To Go Out.

The struggle is very real.

3. Time Management Is One Of Your Strengths.


In order to cope with your lazy side and ambitious side, you have everything timed. You know how much time you truly need to get things done. You know how long it takes to make flashcards for this class vs that class. You know approximately how long it takes you to memorize all 378 of the flashcards you made. You know how much time is required for you to commute and arrive at your lectures on time.

4. You Shift Into Maximum Overdrive When It Comes To Getting Your Work Done.

Although you can spend days doing absolutely nothing done, when it's time to get to it, you can't hold back. You will spend a total of seven days straight just working on an assignment if you have too. You don't need breaks. If you have to study for 11 straight hours you will no problem. You ensure every paper you turn in is done in the best format possible and for research assignments you've turned in a work cited longer than 2 pages. All those hours of sitting on the couch have prepared you for long periods of time spent studying without moving an inch.

5. You're Always Tired.

Deep down inside all you really want to do is eat Domino's and watch Netflix all day.

6. You Know How To Cram.

As a professional procrastinator, you know every single method of cramming and what grade you will get depending on which method is used. You know for extremely last-minute cramming reading, each page of notes 3 times will get you a passing grade. However, since your overly ambitious that does not cut it. AKA you wind up studying for 13 hours straight to get the A.

7. These Two Qualities Impact Other Areas Of Your Life.

For example, I can be a complete couch potato but I can also spend a total of 4 hours straight working out in a gym.

8. A Lot Of People Think You're Crazy.


Yes, my paper is 30 pages long. Is there an issue?

9. You Can Stretch Yourself Very Thin.


Sometimes your overambitious side goes a bit haywire. This causes you to overload your schedule with a million activities, internships, classes, and other obligations. Side effects include exhaustion and looking like a crazy person as you attempt to juggle it all.

10. In Group Projects You Tend To Self Appoint Yourself As The Organizer Of Everything.

You like to know that everything is getting done in a timely fashion. So you end up trying to organize every single aspect of the group project. What should be done when, and how it should be done, etc. You try not to be too annoying about this.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
