Why You Should Love A Girl With A Messy Room

"Did you find what you were looking for? Did you get robbed?" These are a few phrases my friends say when looking at my room. I have always had a messy room. It is an inherent part of my personality, and I don't see a reason to change that right now. I always thought once I "grew up," whatever that means, I would need a clean room to function. Or that my adult self would just evolve into a person who would rather fold laundry than plan my next adventure. Part of me wishes I could keep my room organized. I agree it looks nicer that way, but for now, it remains elegantly disheveled.

She has too much going on to clean her room.

Perhaps she is too busy and productive in other ways to worry about if her mascaras are organized by brand. Or, maybe she likes to spend her free time doing other things, like yoga or binge watching the Big Brother live feed.


She is being herself.

If you meet a girl with a messy room and did not discover this trait by accident, she is not insecure about the fact that she did not get her room pristine before you saw it. She knows that you will, eventually, find out that her room does not look like a showroom from IKEA, and hopes you still like her anyway

She does not need everything to be perfect.

Striving for perfection can be exhausting and is often unrealistic. She understands that life is not perfect and her room reflects that


She goes with the flow.

The bed did not get made today? That's fine, she will just get back in later anyway.


You can see all of her cool stuff.

There are random things, from Polaroids to bumper stickers from foreign countries, all strewn about. If she was organized, you might not have seen this fun and slightly random assortment of nick-nacks.

In a perfect world, do I want a clean room?

Yes, but life is not perfect. It is far from it. For now, in my single young adult life, my room is my own space. As I write this article, there are random guitar picks on my left and Little Corn Island stickers on my right. My room reflects my crazy life, and I would not have it any other way.

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.
