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!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
