Joiners. We all know one. The person who loves to be involved in everything. They're great for when you don't want to go to a new club meeting alone, but for those of us who are the joiners, life can become stressful. Between keeping track of the dates and times of every meeting and event, and then finding time for school, work and whatever other obligations you have forced yourself into, being a joiner usually results in long days, lack of sleep and an extremely busy schedule.
If these characteristics describe you, odds are you, too, are a joiner.
You wake up early because sleeping is unproductive.
You've mastered the art of getting ready in under 10 minutes.
Your planner is your best friend.
Seriously. You'd be lost without your planner.
You've completely overcome any phone call-anxiety you once had.
You find yourself at club meetings several times a week.
Most of the time, you have no clue what these meetings are for, and yet you still find yourself signing up to receive emails.
Multitasking is second nature.
Any "free time" you have is spent crying to your friends about everything you have to do.
I'm just kidding, you have no free time.
You can't remember the last time you even considered making time for a relationship.
But the satisfaction you feel after completing a difficult task is overwhelming.
While being a joiner can be demanding, you can't help but enjoy yourself. You do what you do because you like to be busy. Full calendars are exciting and you can't imagine your life any other way, so if you're a joiner, keep doing you and know you're not alone. If you're not a joiner, get off the couch and get involved.
