23 Signs You Might Be A Neat Freak

Wanting to keep things organized is a good thing; it means you have a sense of appreciation for the prettier things in life. We neat freaks have a keen eye for making sure everything is neatly in its place. Although we can be a bit much at times, people come to love our ability to keep things straight. However, keep in mind that neat freaks and clean freak are different things. We neat freaks don't always clean-we organize.

If you think you might be part of the neat freak club, read on...

1. You make up your bed every day. And sometimes, you probably sleep on top of your bed just so that you can quickly make it look tidy in the morning

2. You probably love the Home decor section of Pinterest

3. You fold up blankets after you use them and fix the pillows on the couch

4. You keep your desk fairly neat and organized

5. That being said, you put up books you don't need and always clean up your desk after you use it to do work

6. You have a knack for organizing things. No, you love organizing things.

7. You probably like to decorate things as well. This includes anything from your bedroom, to your coffee table, to painting anything that needs a splash of color

8. You're pretty good at hiding things to make your room *look* neat and tidy

9. Disheveled things bother you

10. You put up your laundry right after you wash it because you don't like seeing it sitting around

11. Tables full of clutter make you cringe

12. Dirty dishes sitting out bother you a lot. But sometimes, not enough to wash them

13. You move things around on tables (sometimes not your own) often to make them look neat

14. If you open up a drawer to see your clothes not folded nicely, you're going to be a little flustered

15. Your day planner has everything for the next week all written out and possibly color coded

16. Do you turn off lights and unplug everything right when you finish using them? Yep, me too

17. A pile of clothes on the floor is your worst nightmare

18. Chipped nail polish bothers you a lot more than it should

19. Opening the fridge to a mostly empty bottle of Diet Coke makes you want to scream

20. You throw away your trash right when you finish with it rather than laying it on the nearest table. Who likes clutter? Not us

21. You try to advise your friends to pick up on your neat habits

22. You don't understand how people can live in such messy rooms and you now come to appreciate all of the times your mother told you as a child to "clean your room"

23. Lastly, you don't enjoy cleaning but rather simply like organizing things to make them look neat. If cleaning is necessary to do so, then you'll do it. But if you can find a way to make the room look nice without sweeping the floor, why bother? Right?

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.
