The Life Of A Chronic Overachiever

We know it might be too much, but we won't stop until we have to.

The Life Of A Chronic Overachiever

Have you ever been told, "I don't know how you do it!" and wondered yourself how you do? Me too. I'm the girl that hated how much I identified with Hermione Granger in Harry Potter because she was the know-it-all instead of the one blowing up bridges. In high school, I had nicknames along the lines of "Dictionary" and "Wikipedia" among my friends. Chances are, you probably are also the one all your friends ask for answers from, ranging from how to change a tire to how to handle taxes.

1. Your resume takes up too many text boxes, so you have to cut things to make it the corporate wide standard of one page.

Trust me, I've done a lot in college.

2. When your friends find out you took on a new project, they threaten to intervene next time, but ask you to help them with something the next day.

Are you kidding me?

3. You're the kid your parents don't worry too much about when it comes to getting your life handled. They just hope you don't have a breakdown from all the stress.

"Maybe you should cut down on some stuff..."

4. Your planner looks like the rainbow threw up on it and you check it at least four times a day.

It's a literal work of art.

5. Sticky notes litter your apartment and trail you to your car.


6. When people give you free time, you don't know what to do with yourself.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

7. You share a Google calendar with your significant other so they can keep up with your life.


8. You hate winter and summer break because you feel like you can't sit still.

9. You're always the one that talks in class.

"Let's hear from someone else."

10. Your DropBox is full and you had to buy more storage.

How did I use all of this...

11. Your grocery list looks more like a project proposal.

12. You resist the urge to correct teachers, but do it anyway.

I'm sorry, but you were wrong.


At the end of the day, you hate it and you love it at the same time.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
