I bet that when you were little, you knew you had a knack for event planning. You were always checking lists, and coming up with multiple plans for any given scenario right? You were born to be an event planner. Are you still not sure? I had such a fun time with my eventprof friends, coming up with these 17 signs for you to use to figure out if you are born to be an event planner. Check them out!

2. You’ve discovered the secret to covering up under eye circles and look amazingly fresh after 3 hours sleep.
3. You thought kindergarten was unorganized and not an efficient use of time.
