So You’re The Overly Scheduled Girl

It’s okay, you’re not alone

So You’re The Overly Scheduled Girl

Your phone calendar has nice little dots underneath each date. Or maybe you’re more traditional and choose the planner method. In that case, the planner is a rainbow of colored pen markings. To top it all off, I am sure you practice the art of sticky noting everything so you don’t forget about things. If it is not written down, it will easily be forgotten. Your mind constantly runs a mile a minute. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

It is so easy to over schedule yourself to the point the only time you have to relax is when you are asleep. Throughout the day you are pulled in 20 different directions trying to please everyone and accomplish everything. Easily, your own basic needs get pushed to the bottom of the priority list. You watch people spend hours on Netflix, their phones, napping, complaining about life and/or just sitting around. Sometimes you envy that lifestyle. In reality, you realize all the things you are accomplishing and is leaving those people in the dust of your successes.

Going through life being so busy can easily drive someone nuts. But in reality, that is all you know and no one can convince you differently.

The hard work pays off when opportunities on opportunities for advancement are knocking at your door. The life accomplishments you will tell your children about are definitely something to brag about. Your lifestyle is sky rocketing you into success that many others can’t achieve.

With all the things you are involved in you have met some incredible people. You are constantly networking and enjoy spending your time with like-minded people. People look up to you for your charisma to achieve so much in such a small amount of time. Time management is literally your super power. You have even learned the importance to make time for “unstructured play” because remember, you are only young once.

At the end of the day, you look back at all the things you accomplished and maybe missed out on. With calendar in hand, edits are made to ensure that tomorrow things are done differently. You love your busy schedule. You hate your busy schedule. Just remember, years from now you will be able to look back and say, "I have no regrets because I know I did everything I wanted to.”

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
