Lists

'Lists' are a very important part of my life. I make lists everyday. The most usualy kind of lists I make is homework lists, where I just list down all the homework I have to do. But that's not my only type of lists. I have literally a hundred different lists. Just random lists. Most of which have already ended up in the recycling bin and is now part of another paper. I do lists for all sorts of reasons. I never really knew why I actually make lists. Like when people are bored in class, they normally doodle, etc. but I make lists. It helps me stay awake and focused. So before, I didn't know why I made lists. Until one day in english class last year, we had to write a short story focusing on a particular character which we made up. I made up a character who, like me, made lists. Using this character, I explored different reasons as to why people make lists. It really helped me get into the character, and not only that, I learned more about myself (though ofcourse the character was slightly more exagerrated). So I concluded that making lists is a way of helping me organize life. As a teen, it is most common that I would feel a little bit lost sometimes. So making lists really helps me, even it is a really random list that has nothing to do with anything. I have lists of all sorts: I've probably got about 10 lists of attempting to name all the countries in the worl (I've never actually finisheed), 5 lists of the 50 states (I always go up to >45, then miss out a couple random states), numerous lists of animals (normally categorized into different types: for example arctic animals, amphibians, reptiles), and I've even got lists on things to do while bored in class! There are also really random lists like 'weird icecream flavors', 'different things to put on pizzas', 'oscar winning films', '(celebrity name, ie. John Travolta) films', etc. I really enjoy making lists,  but too bad most of them were scribbled on scrap pieces of paper, and never really kept. I think I should get a notebook and keep all my lists in there. Without lists, I'd be complete 'listless' (excuse the awful pun).
