13 Things That Happen When You're a Messy yet Organized Person

Contradictory? Somewhat. Functional? Absolutely.

To the naked eye, one might see me as a control freak with a Type A personality. I don't deny either of those things, but I do have a secret. A dark side. On the outside, I'm a composed, put together, eloquent person. On the inside (specifically, the inside of my bedroom), I'm an absolute mess. Here are some things you may be able to relate to if you too are a walking oxymoron.

1. By how you carry yourself, people assume every facet of your life is put together

2. Your room can stay dirty for weeks without you caring, but once you clean it, it makes you SO happy

3. Your room looks AMAZING for a few days, but it gets back to its messy state pretty quickly

4. You don't mind when your roommates have messy rooms

5. You have everything you need to do written down in your planner, but cleaning your room usually is not in there

6. All of your folders and notebooks are color-coded and labeled for each class, but they are strewn across your room

7. Although your room is very messy most of the time, you know precisely where you put certain things on the floor

8. You also know precisely which clothing items on the floor are dirty and which are clean

9. But when you do somehow forget where you put a certain item, you'd rather tear apart your room and make it messier to find it rather than clean

10. You create little spots in your room where you can safely exist without the clutter touching you

11. You would let dirty dishes sit in the sink until the end of time, but you get an odd satisfaction from arranging everything in the dishwasher

12. When you're in another person's space, you make sure to never leave a mess (and you actually enjoy cleaning up after yourself when it's not your own house)

13. You can't seem to relate to this popular meme because your life is not nearly as messy as your room

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.
