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!

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
