13 Things You Know If You're Obsessed With Planning
Buzzfeed

If college has taught me one thing, it's that I'm a planner. Much to the frustration of my friends, I have to leave for classes way early, and if they're in the same class, I drag them with me. I plan every day out down to the hour. It makes me feel organized. So, here are 13 things you know if you're obsessed with planning:

1. The Notes App Is Your Best Friend

Whether it's writing down reminders, homework, or important dates, the Notes app is a planner's holy grail.

2. Cute Journals Are Just The Beginning

Think of all the possibilities of a blank page!

3. You Run Out Of Highlighters More Than You Care To Admit

And you don't even want to get started on your pen collection.

4. Checking Off A To-Do List Is The Best Feeling

It's your way of convincing yourself that you're on top of life.

5. You Can Never Have Too Many Sticky Notes

They're so colorful! What's not to love about them??

6. You Know You'll Like A Professor If They Have A Detailed Syllabus

You now know every assignment you'll have to complete, and when you'll have to complete it from now until finals week. BLESS!

7. And, You Know You'll Hate It If They Change The Syllabus

I just spent hours planning my life around this syllabus and you're telling me it's DIFFERENT? I refuse to accept this.

8. You Get Confused When People Don't Schedule Their Lives

How do you function??

9. You Love To Organize Your Room

A place for everything and everything in its place.

10. You Ask For Planners For Every Holiday And Birthday

Even if you already have five unused ones. You need MORE.

11. You Add Everyone To Your iCloud Calendar

That way you can be absolutely certain you won't miss anything.

12. Surprises Make You Nervous

This wasn't in my planner!!

13. If Everyone Planned Like You, Life Would Be Way Easier

You know it, Iknow it. But the rest of the world just isn't ready for it.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
