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!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
