6 Signs You Are An Organizing Neat Freak

Low-key OCD can be a struggle.

Do you have the lingering OCD monster lurking inside, waiting to emerge screaming whenever there is something to be organized? Here are 6 tell-tale signs that you may be 'low-key' OCD (in other words, Monica Geller from Friends is your role model)

1. Calendars.

If you step into my house, you will count not one, not two, but four calendars hanging in different rooms. A little organization of your life never hurt anybody right? The fact that your life is planned to the day, week, and month, is a satisfaction that simply cannot be put in words. Literally, seeing my life put down on the numerous white boards to the exact hour relieves so much stress of daily life. My calendars are my best friend.



2. Closet Organization.

I organize my closet every week, sometimes by color, or sometimes by shirt length. Every week, my closet somehow ends up differently organized than how it was at the beginning of the week. If I'm watching some Netflix, I'll be organizing my jeans, if I can't go to sleep, I'm organizing the scarves, if I'm fighting with my parents, I'll be organizing the shirts, by material and color.


3. Outfits for the Week.

Speaking of clothes, I organize my outfits for the week on Sunday, or sometimes the night before. Now, when people ask me why, I'll simply say it's to save time in the morning, but we all really know that its because I cannot go to sleep without knowing that I am all planned for the next school day.


4. Jewelry.

Now I am not sure if everyone does this, but I do at least every 2 months. I'll realize that my earrings and necklaces look terrible in their stand on my dresser, so I'll spend the next 2 hours trying to find the perfect way to organize them- by color(of course) but also by studs or dangling , beaded or studded, even by length.


5. Paper.

This example may be a tad extreme as well. I absolutely despise it when someone uses my paper and they manage to scrunch and bend it in some way. My paper has to be absolutely spotless and without any folds or scrunches. I am not ashamed to share that I have rewritten notes for school sometimes if I find black eraser marks or ink dots on the paper.



6. Untangling Stuff.

Headphones, shoes laces, string, threads, ribbons- anything that gets tangled and that I can untangle is the only past time I need. Once, I spent 30 minutes in my Biology class trying to untangle a 5 meter piece of string for an experiment. Sure, I got some extra credit, but the satisfaction of untangling that string was all I needed.


Obviously, your OCD side may not be as aggressive as mine, but why not find out the small, crazy things that you do that make you almost as obsessed as Monica.

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.
