I am an extremely unorganized person. My life is sometimes a, to put it nicely, chaotic wreck. However, people love me regardless to how many times I forget when a meeting starts.

1. Be prepared to not get that hat, shirt or sunglasses I borrowed from you until a couple months after the fact.

I know it is November and I borrowed that shirt in July....

2. Teachers look at all my papers and wonder how I ever turn anything in on time.

3. My room is always a disaster.

Tell me in advance before you are coming over. If not, expect my room to look like a tornado came through it.

4. I don't own a planner.

The concept of a planner is to organize yourself. That being said, the concept of organization is completely foreign to me. I remember times, dates and meetings. This might be a reason why my friends have to constantly remind me where to be and when.

5. People who are obsessed with organization look at me in shame.

Real life, my friend spent 10 minutes organizing my papers for me because she couldn't handle it.

6. I leave everything everywhere.

I recently lost my phone for a full 12 hours because I couldn't remember where I left it. Spoiler alert: I put it in my boot for safe keeping because that is a good place to leave a phone, right?

7. Assignments get done as late as possible because due dates are just suggested, right?

When is that 5-page paper due? Monday? Oh. Maybe I should get started on that because it is, well, Sunday.

8. Just rely on me being 15 minutes late to almost everything.

No one ever expects me to be on time. I swear I try really hard to get to places on time. I just get halfway to my car and then remember a task I forgot. Then, I'll do the same thing with another thing. It is a vicious cycle.

9. People have to constantly remind me to bring things because forgetfulness comes with being unorganized.

Friend; "Did you remember the alarm clock?" Two hours later. "Please don't forget the alarm clock."

Me as I arrive: "I forgot that alarm clock".

10. I lose almost everything twice.

I have had to repurchase my Student ID card a multitude of times. These women know me by name at this point. Same goes with phone cords. I swear I have 500 of those, but they have all disappeared.

11. Entrusting me with an important piece of the puzzle to make an organization work is setting yourself up for failure.

12. Having that organized friend is key.

She will be your rock through life. You are a child and she is your mother.

In the end, I seem to function just fine being unorganized. Yes, my life can be a little bit stressful at times because of it. However, whose isn't?
