Time is such a weird concept. I'm so aware of time, especially since everything is based on timing. Class, appointments, interviews, dates, etc. And I'm one who always wants to be on time, and if I'm not, it freaks me out. I'm not sure if time anxiety is a real thing, but here are some ways you might have it too.

1. You get ready to leave early

Even if you know it only takes 20 minutes to get ready, you end up getting ready an hour beforehand anyway.

2. You plan out what time to wake up so you can leave on time

Depends on how long it takes for you to get somewhere.

3. You plan out how long it's going to take to get somewhere, then add five minutes

What if there's a train or a traffic jam?

4. You think about how long it's going to take to walk into your destination

Because that's still travel time!

5. You expected to be the first one to arrive

And on time or before.

6. Your friends are shocked if you're late

Because you're always early.

7. You get an uneasy feeling if you know you're going to be late

And become stressed.

8. You check maps to figure exactly how long it's going to take to get somewhere

Usually accurate.

9. You speed

Sorry, but gets me places faster.

10. Your friends think you're crazy

Sorry for wanting to be on time when I go somewhere...

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.
