Guilty by association

Personal organization has been a problem for me since I was young. I clean my room and then I can't find anything for a week so it just gets messy again. This has been the way I am for a very long time now. Coming to college however I think by having a room mate I was forced to become more organized. Not only that when people are walking in and out of your room on a constant basis you don't want them to walk into a mess even if it is "organized." I think that it reflects you and how you present yourself. I know at time it gets busy and I fall prey to this- but things do get messy. I think the other day we all got called out on this and it makes sense: just like I wouldn't want people coming into my room and thinking i'm a slob, we shouldn't let people walking into SHM see our table and assume that the company is a mess! I do subscribe to an organized mess because that's how I function but I realize that it is not all that matters. I think that taking a step back is important, and it helps you reorganize your life and get things in order once again.
