10 Strange Habits All Super Organized People Have

When cleaning is more like therapy than a chore.

Being a super organized person means that the majority of non-organized people don’t quite understand us. If you’re a super organized person, there are things you do daily that may make our counterparts think we’re either slightly insane, slightly OCD, or both.

If you’re a super organized person, you probably…

1. We have a morning routine that runs like clockwork.

Turn light on, get out of bed, open curtains, start coffee, go to the bathroom, wash face, brush teeth, make bed, drink coffee, boom!

2. We keep a sickeningly detailed planner.

Full of daily to-do lists, goal lists, and reminders that are color coded and arranged the same way each day.

3. We find great joy in organizing things.

Closets, drawers, dishwashers, you name it!

4. We have to resist the urge to clean and organize everyone else’s messes.

Especially at house parties. We’ve been the people who stop partying to organize the solo cups and sanitize the beer pong table.

5. We take any chance we get to teach people how to properly make a bed.

Like our roommate’s, for example. They know that if they wait long enough after washing their sheets to put them back on, we’ll crack and make their bed for them. It works in our favor, though, because we love the tidiness of a clean made bed.

6. We get very easily distracted by things that are out of place.

The coffee pot is always to the right of the sink on a 45-degree angle! No, the small spoons do not go with the big spoons, they have their own separate slot!

7. We don’t understand people who are messy, like, at all.

How do they find anything? Just looking at their messes gives us anxiety.

8. We may low-key judge them, too.

Clothes on the floor, ew. Dirty dishes on the dresser, gross. Dust on the TV, gag. How do people live like this? We get nauseous thinking about it.

9. And we try to clean up after them.

If we’re lucky enough, our friends won’t care and they’ll know to come to us when they can’t find something. This also tends to frustrate people, though, because most people thrive in messes somehow so being organized makes them lose things even more, which makes no sense at all to us.

10. Cleaning is like therapy.

Some people unwind by watching TV or playing video games. We unwind by re-organizing our book shelves, vacuuming our floor, and rearranging our rooms.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
