12 Things Only Neat Freaks Will Understand

Organized is your middle name.

Not everyone strives to have everything 100% spotless all the time, and you respect that, but you still find that you can’t control yourself when you see an empty wrapper on the ground while walking to class or a drawer won’t close completely because it’s one shirt too full. If you are irrepressible when it comes to organization then here are 12 things you would probably understand more than most.

1. Your books, notebooks, pens, and everything else on your desk needs to be arranged in a particular way every single time.

Or else you can’t focus on anything else.

2. You absolutely have to do laundry every week no matter the cost.

It doesn't matter how busy you are with everything else. If your clothes aren't clean then nothing else is worth it.

3. If your bed isn’t made every morning, your mind isn’t ready for anything else.

A clean bed is a clean mind, as they say.

4. You have a drawer of random odds and ends in your room, because everything that doesn’t have a place still needs to have a place.

No one is perfect, so this is the best you can do.

5. Every line of your notebook must be used, or else what is the point of having one?

It doesn't matter if there are three lines left at the very bottom. You will use those three lines if it's the last thing you do.

6. You often spend your time surfing the internet by browsing for organizer materials.

Shopping for notebooks and desk organizers can be a lot more fun than shopping for clothes sometimes, and definitely a lot less stressful.

7. Your idea of a stress reliever is cleaning the entire house.

It also burns a lot of calories, so there's that.

8. Nothing gives you more anxiety than a sink full of dishes.

You may not do anything about it right away, but those dishes have to go at some point.

9. You have at least 5 planners and they all serve a different purpose.

You may even have a planner to keep track of your planners.

10. Going to Staples is what you look forward to the most before the start of every school year.

A new year may mean hours of studying every night, but at least you have an array of highlighters to help you get through it.

11. On any trip you have to unpack and put things away before you do anything else.

You absolutely cannot live with yourself if you have a full suitcase just sitting around somewhere.

12. You’re never more satisfied than you are after spending an entire day cleaning.

You count it as one of your most valuable skills.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
