Seven Things Only People who are Obsessed with To-Do Lists will Understand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Auburn chapter.

For any collegiette who has a running to-do list (or more like twenty five lists of everything imaginable), you have a support group out there. We understand that you are such a baller at life and gettin’ it done that you have to stay thoroughly organized and detailed, and that comes in the form of making a list and checking it twice (or fifty times).

1) Making a to-do list for tomorrow is on today’s to-do list.

I’m scheduled to write mine tonight from 8 to 9. Yes, of course, it takes that long.

 

2) Freaking out if you don’t have a list made.

 

But if you realize that you forgot to put something important on the list you have a freak out again, and now you’re paranoid you forgot to add something else to the list!

 

3) Spontaneity is not a real thing. You have to stick the list you made for the day.

Birthday, Fun Day!1-2: Eat a cupcake, 2-3: Go for a hike, 4-5: Take a shower, 5-6: Eat dinner, 6-7: Make out with BF, 7-10: Hang out with friends, 10-11: Wash dishes

Crazy fun agenda, am I right?!

 

4) Feeling guilty if there is an hour of the day that isn’t planned.

 

See number two for next step.

 

5) Writing a list for everything. Ever.

Why not have a movie list, bucket list, goals list, school schedule, work schedule, grocery list, I-want-it list, and to-do list?

 

6) Sub -lists are pure genius.

(The list within a list.)

 

7) Rocking the chemistry test, fitness regime, and extracurricular activities all in one day is the norm.

You do whatever it takes to make it work.

Lindy Olive is known for being a foodie health-nut hybrid, who thinks the best things in life happen in the kitchen. She is a senior at Auburn University, majoring in Nutrition & Wellness and minoring in Sustainability. She wrote for Her Campus Auburn for three years before taking on a role as Campus Corespondent. If you ever need her, you can find her in front of a computer, in a garden, or at the gym. Lindy likes to dream big, and right now, that dream consists of owning a garden-bakery while writing agriculture public policy or working for a test kitchen. When she isn't thinking about food, which is apparently rare, she is hiking with her boyfriend and dog, on a feminist rant, or having deep conversations with her best friends Bailey and Melissa.
