1. You love your planner.

You take pride in having a beautiful and well organized planner. Different colored pens and highlighters are your best friends. Your planner is filled with symbols and different colors, all signifying something different.

2. "No" does not exist in your vocabulary.

The hard part about being an overachiever is that you constantly get asked to take on more jobs and tasks. You always feel compelled to say yes, even if you know you are already super busy.

3. You love making lists.

You have ten lists of “Things to Do” sitting on your desk and taped to your door, but you know crossing each item off is an accomplishment in itself.

4. You constantly think about the future.

You're most likely an overachiever because you want to do well in the future. I am an overachiever because I want to get into the best graduate program, which will, in turn, lead me to land my dream job.

5. Free time?

You're busy, but you love it. My daily schedule is always busy. Whether I am at work, a philanthropy event, the gym, a sorority meeting, studying, doing an extra credit assignment or homework, I sometimes forget free time even exists.

6. You are a dreamer.

As realistic as you can be, there's no doubt you are a dreamer who is deeply focused on the future. You have so many goals set and you cannot wait to achieve them. You continue to strive to do your best and make yourself proud each day.

7. School is your #1 priority

Each semester you're determined to earn that 4.0 and see your name on the Dean’s List. You stay up all hours of the night perfecting your final paper or putting in a few extra hours of studying to help boost your test score. Your friends can find you in the library or with your professor during their office hours.

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.
