"To DONE List"

Good afternoon, lovely internet world. Thanks for being a completely needed distraction...today, and every day (even those days where you really AREN'T needed).

Ok, so I am one of those people that makes lists. I LOVE lists. Just ask my boy, Jake, or his sisters or pretty much any of my relatives. I believe I get it from my mom, but also my dad's sister and my dad's mom love to make lists. Apparently I pretty much get the love of lists from all-around. Anyways, I have a whole book of to-do lists and usually I label them just that: "to-do." Recently I saw a commercial or a video that made a joke about "To DONE" lists. I don't have the faintest idea what the commercial was about, but I loved the idea of having a "to done" list.

When I make a list, I like to make little boxes so I can put a check mark in them when I've completed a task. I know, I know...what a nerd. But I do love to do that. Often times, when I look back at my lists, I'll realize that I have lots of unchecked boxes. However, it feels SO good to look back and see a list with all the boxes checked, OR to be able to check multiple things off a list. That's why I like the idea of a "to DONE" list because it means I got all of these things done. Look what I accomplished today! Right now, my "to done" list really isn't a "to done" list, it's DEFINITELY a "To DO" list. This makes me sad, but it's seriously so hard to get motivated for school right now.

I feel like this is the case every spring, but especially this year. I'm technically a senior, even though I have one more semester, and this is my LAST spring semester. Sadly, I just want it to be over already. I don't want to have to worry about homework or what's due when. I just want to be able to enjoy my day and make to-do lists that have NOTHING to do with homework. I'm sure there are many people out there that can relate to this. I guess I'm just ready to be done with this phase in my life...even if I do go back to school someday.

Now, I know what you're thinking...I'm only 20, what's my rush? But...I've never been one of those people who enjoys school. I enjoy writing and reading, but I don't really like to be told WHAT to write and read. I laugh when I say that, because, well...what the heck did I think I was going to be doing for the rest of my life when I decided to make a career out of writing?! But like I said, I'm just ready for this phase in my life to be over...I'm ready to move on and get told what to write somewhere else. Haha. No really...I am excited to be told what to write or edit outside of school. I guess I'm sick of writing about the works of dead people. I'm ready for the new!

Bring it on!
