If you're as OCD as I am, then you're just as obsessed with your planner as I am. It doesn't matter what kind/ brand of planner you use, as long as it works for you and your lifestyle. With the beginning of a new year approaching, the best thing you can do for yourself is to get your planner ready for the new year! Here's a list of things you can go ahead and mark in your planner:

1. Birthdays

This is a big one. You can't have your grandma thinking you've forgotten her birthday, can you?? Prevent it by marking the day before it sneaks up on you.

2. Holidays

You'd hate to be the one student that shows up for class when the school is closed for a holiday!

3. Wedding Dates/ Anniversaries

Since December just passed, a lot of people you know have recently gotten engaged. Go ahead and mark down their special day!

4. Dentist/ Doctor Appointments

It's a lot easier to plan your Spring Break vacation when you're aware of those pesky yearly check-ups!

5. Class Schedule

This one is a biggie! I'm guilty of reaching that point in the middle of the semester where I forget what day it is, what class I'm supposed to go to, what room I'm supposed to be in, and what my teacher's name is! I always know I can count on my schedule to be in my planner when I need it.

6. Important Events You Already Know About

Family Reunions, Formal, Vacations, etc.

7. Passwords

Since I always have my planner with me, I'm always able to look up passwords to accounts that I don't really use but always end up needing! Putting all your passwords in one central location prevents those annoying "reset your password" emails.

8. Contact Information

Always. I repeat: Always, put your name and cell number in your planner. If you ever misplace it (God forbid), whoever finds it knows just how to get in touch with you.

9. Stickers

Organizing isn't always as fun as it seems, so make putting together your planner more fun by using stickers! Cute stickers also make your planner more personal, and it's easier to find that important meeting time when there's a purple star next to it!

10. To-Do Lists

This is probably the best thing I've ever done. To-do list's are my life. I can write down all the assignments and things I need to do everyday, and I can check them off as I get them done! I feel more productive and on-top-of things just by making the list to begin with.

Happy planning!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
