12 Signs You're Too Busy For Your Own Good

The daily life of a college student can sometimes be crazy. Between classes, labs, homework, internships, part time jobs, sports and extracurricular activities 24 hours in a day just aren't enough for you to function. Here's to the crazy ones, who live their lives scheduled minute to scheduled minute and somehow still are functioning members of society.

1. You have so many to-do lists.

They have headings like, "Get this stuff done now!" and "All the things I need to do!" They come in the form of word documents, post-its, planners and random scraps of paper stuffed into backpacks.

2. You will go a whole day without eating, simply because you were too busy and forgot.

And at 10 p.m. you have this realization that you haven't had a meal, and you still have too much to do to eat.

3. You also lose track of time.

Is it 2 a.m., 3 p.m. or 8 p.m.? I don't even know, all time has begun to run together in an endless stream of scheduled hell.

4. Sometimes you live in the library.

You actually consider bringing your blanket and pillow and just officially moving in.

5. Other times you're running from meeting to meeting.

Professor's office hours are at 4 p.m. and the floor meeting is at 6 p.m.

6. You act a little crazy.

Your roommates and friends are slightly concerned for your mental health, but you know that it's just how you are.

7. Sleep becomes a thing of the past.

Getting 8-10 hours just isn't even a consideration anymore, and you're very well acquainted with the early hours of the morning.

8. You've got so many things running through your mind that it actually seems like you're staring off into space.

People try to talk to you and you're just so focused on all the things you've got to do that you aren't even registering what they're saying.

9. You run purely on coffee and adrenaline.

If someone tries to keep you away from your caffeine, then they're taking their life into their own hands.

10. Constantly having a thousand things open on your computer.

Several email accounts, Facebook, two to three word documents, a half finished PowerPoint, Google Drive...

11. Your calendar is essentially just blocks of color.

With no white space in between.

12. When it comes down to it, you're a pro at multitasking.

In fact, how you manage to function in your life is an enigma to most people, but hey, you make it work.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
