Five Lists of Fives

As you all have probably noticed by now, my blog is basically a collection of lists. I like lists. In fact, I'm obsessed with them. They calm me down when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I have about 20 lists saved on my computer, 6 floating around my house, and an ever-growing amount in my head. Here's some of them. (P.S. This first list is a blog trend that's going around. I'm such a push-over.)
