As a very, very organized person, I tend to make lots of lists. I make to do lists, to buy lists, packing lists, books/movies/TV shows to watch lists, gratitude lists and the list goes on. See what I did there? ;)

Anyways, I thought I would offer some of my list making advice to you peeps. Just so you can better organize and structure your lives.

So here is a list of things I have and continue to put into lists.

1. List of Passions

Make a list of all of the things you're passionate about.

2. Prayer List

3. Songs to Download

4. List of Dreams

Make a list of your biggest dreams, smallest dreams and every one in between!

5. List of Your Favorite Quotes and/or Bible Verses

6. Easy and Quick Meals

I don't know about you guys but it always takes me FOREVER to decide what to eat. So, a list of quick and easy meals to make is very helpful.

7. Your Favorite Restaurants

It's also helpful to have a list of your go-to or favorite restaurants, for when you can't decide where to eat. And because food is life.

8. Bucket List

Make a list of everything you want to do or see before you die! Or you could make a list of things you want to do before you go somewhere, leave somewhere, during a season, for a holiday, before you turn a certain age, before you get married/ have kids, etc. For example, you could make a list of things you want to do on your campus before you graduate!

9. Pro/Con List

Whenever I'm faced with a big or small decision, it always helps me to make a pro/con list. Just to get all of your thoughts out and onto paper, so you can better decide!

10. Gratitude List

Jot down everything you're thankful for, and look back at it when you forget (for me that's every day).

11. Summer/Spring/Fall/Winter Reading List

12. Christmas Present List

Christmas is coming up, so you should make a list of presents you want to give and receive.

13. Thirteen (Or More) Reasons Why

I really enjoyed the movie and book, 13 Reasons Why. The show made me think a lot about my life, and the decisions I make. So I decided to make a list, similar to Hannah's, except mine is thirteen reasons why I want to live. This list was basically a reminder of the things I'm most thankful for in my life.

14. Important Dates to Remember

Anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, exam dates, movie/book release dates, etc.

15. Movies to Watch

Jot down all the new or old movies you want to watch!

16. TV Shows to Watch

Jot down all the new or old shows you want to binge!

17. Places You Want to Visit


18. Goals List

It has been proven that you are more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down and look at them often. So make a yearly, 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, and/or lif goals list, and put it somewhere you often look! Like near your makeup mirror, in your planner, or by your bed!

19. List of Your Favorite Things

20. List of Odyssey Articles to Write

I try to jot article ideas down whenever they come to me, so I'm not trying to figure something out the night of.

HAPPY LIST MAKING, HOMIES!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
