10 Simple Things All Girls Who Live By Their Planner Want You To Know

Yeah, you know her, she is the girl also known as the busy friend.

We all know those girls who we see in class carefully pulling their $45+ planner out of their Vera Bradley backpack just to slowly write something into their calendar. She seems like she has her life together or at the very least is doing a great job pretending at having her life scheduled down to the minute. Everyone thinks she can do things last minute with them because the rest of her life is planned to an exact science.

Well, I'm one of those girls and I will tell you that is not true at all. I'm so tired of people thinking I have time to plan last minute things or when I spend my time doing things that they think I shouldn't be. I painstakingly plan most things in my life so my life is balanced and well managed without the stress and struggle of last minute plans. I decided these are the 10 simple things that you all need to know about girls who live by their planner.

1. Our planners keep us from going crazy.

Giphy

Our lives are in those planners and we need them to keep us on track. We also probably can't remember plans without them. *That honestly would be if it weren't for my calendar.*

2. Most of the time we keep a planner and a digital calendar.

Giphy

Both calendars keep our plans nice and safe. Plus we have two reminders of our plans.

3. We are so freaking busy.

Giphy

We don't have much free time.

4. We realize we only have 24 hours in a day, and 8 of those are scheculed to sleep.

Hi, I like sleep. I won't apologize for it. Plus, how am I supposed to keep up with a busy schedule with no sleep? #notpossible

5. No, I cannot just simply pencil you in at the minute. *Limited exceptions apply*

Giphy

Please don't expect me to pencil you in at the last minute when my schedule is full. Exceptions include family and boyfriend things because those are important in my life.

6.  I will cancel our plans if something more pressing pops up and I need to schedule for the same day.

Giphy

I'm sorry if I have to cancel but some things are more pressing and important.

7. Please, I beg of you, please make plans with me ahead of time or risk not being to see me for 2 months.

Giphy

Hi, I know you been wanting to hangout with me for awhile but you always want to make plans the night before and that doesn't work for me. Try scheduling a few weeks ahead of time because I'm busy and my schedule fills up fast.

8.  Let me be clear, my time is my time and how I choose to schedule it is none of your business. *Limited exceptions apply*

Giphy

Unless you are my parents, grandparents, or boyfriend then you don't get a say in how I spend any of my time. Even then, they don't get much of a say but are able to voice their opinion. My time is my own and how what, and who makes up that time is completely up to me. Unless you are one of these three people, I don't want to hear that I spend too much time with my boyfriend or that I'm always studying.

9. I have some things pre-scheduled every week and those things are not budging.

Giphy

I have homework and study time scheduled into my planner. I also have specific days of the week that are date night for my boyfriend and I. All of those things are not budging, I don't care how much you whine about it.

10. Don't ever touch my planner.

Giphy

I like to think that my Lily Pulitzer planner screams everytime someone else picks them up. I don't want smiley faces drawn all across my planner like I'm in elementary school. I also prefer to be able to write my plans on the day that you wrote "My Birthday" in pen across the entire square. Just please don't touch my planner and everything will be just peachy!

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
