11 Perfect Examples Of A Perfectionist
Harvard Business Review

It's hard getting around the fact that my friends are a little apprehensive to move anything in my room when they are over, fearing that I may have a minor panic attack - I learned this the hard way.

But nonetheless, everyone has their own little quirks and mine just seems to be that I am a perfectionist. Throughout the day or even over a span of time, I catch myself doing something that automatically makes me roll my eyes because of how ridiculous it seems.

But honestly, if something is not done a certain way, my life seems to be over even if I know it is okay. I'm sure this is different for all the perfectionists out there but I just can't help make fun of myself.

Here are 11 things you know too well if you are a perfectionist.

1. Your bed is always done before you leave your house.

Even if you are in a hurry or are too lazy, you still manage to make it look like it's never been slept in. Ever.

2. Your workspace is clutter free.


Whether it's your office desk or sitting in class, everything is organized and papers are properly together because anything more is just unacceptable.

3. This also goes for your room.


Having your room spotless like no one lives in there is a little satisfying, oddly enough.

4. You rather do everything yourself.


I love working with other people but I can't help but know something will not be done to my standards and I just rather do it myself.

5. Putting gas in your car is a life or death situation.

You better believe that price will be $XX.00.. Not a cent less, not a cent more.

6. Hanging up pictures or anything in your house takes hours.

If it's not perfect and checked 53 times over again, then you're doing it again just to be sure.

8. There's a lot of dedication when it comes to prepping food.

Even if it's just cupcakes, you bet they are going to look as if the Queen of England is coming for a visit.

9. You go overboard on little tasks.


You just wanted me to sweep the floors? Well the baseboards are scrubbed too. You're Welcome!

10. Color-coordination applies to everything in life.


Hanging up clothes, shoes, markers, dishes, food.. I mean the list can go on and on and on and o...

11. Anyone touching your belongings without supervision is forbidden.

Want something from my room, I'm right behind you making sure you only get what you need.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
