11 Perfect Examples Of A Perfectionist
Harvard Business Review

It's hard getting around the fact that my friends are a little apprehensive to move anything in my room when they are over, fearing that I may have a minor panic attack - I learned this the hard way.

But nonetheless, everyone has their own little quirks and mine just seems to be that I am a perfectionist. Throughout the day or even over a span of time, I catch myself doing something that automatically makes me roll my eyes because of how ridiculous it seems.

But honestly, if something is not done a certain way, my life seems to be over even if I know it is okay. I'm sure this is different for all the perfectionists out there but I just can't help make fun of myself.

Here are 11 things you know too well if you are a perfectionist.

1. Your bed is always done before you leave your house.

Even if you are in a hurry or are too lazy, you still manage to make it look like it's never been slept in. Ever.

2. Your workspace is clutter free.


Whether it's your office desk or sitting in class, everything is organized and papers are properly together because anything more is just unacceptable.

3. This also goes for your room.


Having your room spotless like no one lives in there is a little satisfying, oddly enough.

4. You rather do everything yourself.


I love working with other people but I can't help but know something will not be done to my standards and I just rather do it myself.

5. Putting gas in your car is a life or death situation.

You better believe that price will be $XX.00.. Not a cent less, not a cent more.

6. Hanging up pictures or anything in your house takes hours.

If it's not perfect and checked 53 times over again, then you're doing it again just to be sure.

8. There's a lot of dedication when it comes to prepping food.

Even if it's just cupcakes, you bet they are going to look as if the Queen of England is coming for a visit.

9. You go overboard on little tasks.


You just wanted me to sweep the floors? Well the baseboards are scrubbed too. You're Welcome!

10. Color-coordination applies to everything in life.


Hanging up clothes, shoes, markers, dishes, food.. I mean the list can go on and on and on and o...

11. Anyone touching your belongings without supervision is forbidden.

Want something from my room, I'm right behind you making sure you only get what you need.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
