Bucket List

Senior year is only 19 days away and I'm obviously devastated. Being a senior in college is the complete opposite of being a senior in high school. It's not fun and exciting. You don't look forward to it. You dread it. Senior year of college encompasses the end of all things fun. Sure, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but right now that's what it feels like. It feels like the day of graduation will mark the beginning of the sad, serious, sober life that I'll be living from that point on out. I'm not ready for a real job, real responsibilities, and real life. I want to stay in this magical land called college for the rest of my life. But since I can't, I've been discussing making a Senior Year Bucket List with some of my friends here at school. It's still in progress but here's what we have so far...

1. Visit the Grand Canyon (It's pathetic that I've been in Arizona for 3 years now and still haven't seen it.)
2. Go float "The River" (Also sad that I haven't done it)
3. Attend an ASU sporting event other than Football, Basketball, or Baseball
4. Sneak into the Harry Potter lecture course offered at ASU West Campus
5. Go bar-hopping in Phoenix
6. Go camping in Sedona/Flagstaff
7. See ASU go to a bowl game while we're still students.

We need lots more ideas but this is all we've got so far. Send me suggestions.

Planner Season

As you may or may not know, I LOVE planning. I love plans, I love planning, I love structure, I love organization. So naturally, shopping for a new planner each year is quite a big ordeal. Most non-planners probably think that all planners are the same. WRONG. They are totally different and it usually takes at least a 45 minute shopping trip to find the perfect one.

I always buy my planners at Office Max. I am always so happy with their selection and I've always been able to dig through everything and find the perfect planner. My perfect planner has to follow a few, non-negotiable guidelines....

1, It must have monthly AND weekly pages. I like to be able to see an overview of my month as well as the smaller details of each week. (I also like the month view to be displayed right before the first week of that same month. Some planners have allll the monthly views in the front. Bleh.)

2. It can't be too big or too small. Pocket-sized planners don't have enough writing space and big planners are too annoying to carry out. My ideal size is about 5"x8" or so.

3. It can NOT have times listed on each day. For example, on each day, some planners have 9am, 10am, etc. I hate this. Sometimes I write little notes that don't correspond to a specific time of day. No pre-written times please.

4. I like planners that follow the school year (July-June)...rather than January-December. These are hard to come by.

5. Fun colors are appreciated but not mandatory.


SOOOO......da da da daaaa! Here is my new planner for the 2011-2012 schoolyear.
