Life Of An Extremely Organized Person

Planners, reminders, and alarms, OH MY!

Life Of An Extremely Organized Person

I feel satisfied when I am completely organized. I love organizing my closet, my room, and my life. I'm that person who makes To Do lists with reminders to make other lists. I make hand written lists as well as lists written on my phone because I want to make sure I don't forget any idea that pops into my mind. Call my crazy, but this is how I function. Being organized makes me feel like I really have my life in order and if I wasn't an organized person, I have no idea how I would get through the day.

One.

I have my daily routine. I wake up and pop my contacts in, wash my face, eat breakfast, and brush my teeth. I check what's on my agenda for the day. Speaking of which, I have a daily planner filled with the things I'm going to do each day and what time I'm going to do them. Just to ensure that I'm doing everything in a timely manner and that I remember, I set reminders on my phone of when I have to leave and such.

Two.

From elementary school until the end of college, I was the type of person that picked out their outfit for the next day so that I wouldn't have to rush in the morning. Obviously, my morning routine is specific so having any set backs would put a damper on my whole schedule. I don't like to feel stressed out so I like to make things easier on myself.

Three.

My closet is color coded. The pinks are with the pinks. The greens are with the greens. I want to make sure that when I'm picking an outfit, I make things as simple as possible. I organize my entire closet at least once a month because I like to know where everything is and have easy access to it all.

Four.

I sleep with my bed made so that I don't have to make it in the morning other than putting all the pillows back in their proper place. Sounds weird, but I read that Kevin Jonas used to do it and suddenly I didn't feel as abnormal as I thought. I don't even sleep under my comforter, I sleep on top of it with a blanket. Why? Because my room is way too hot.

It may sound like a mess or that I'm way over the top, but this strategy is helpful to me. I even go to my friend's houses and help them organize their closets. Not only am I a friend, but I provide a great service. Keep organized is the only way I function and I don't think that's going to change.

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.
