We are all moved in, woo! It's time; it is finally here for us to all finally live together. We may have had a few bumps in the road, and got some welcomed surprises, but here we are, together! Now that it is all out in the open, there are some things you should know and just learn to accept now. And I might as well go ahead and say it, I really am very sorry.
I am a mess. I have always been a mess: my room, my closet, my car, my life. About once every couple of weeks, my room will become this magical land of the clean and you will be able to see my floor like it once was. Fair warning, this will last approximately three days, and it will then once again return to the monstrosity I have learned to live in. I will keep the bedroom door closed, I promise. I may ask you to go in there from time to time to find something I most likely forgot, and if this happens, I'm sorry, but you will make it out alive. It will always smell like soothing incense though so don't worry about that part (I do this to contrast the appearance). Just tread lightly and know the floor beneath it is clean, it's just a little buried.
The kitchen may be an issue. I tend to just shove my used dishes in the sink under hot water and soap and leave it, probably because I'm running late to the class I should have left for 10 minutes ago. You'll know which dishes are mine, they're most likely the mass amounts of coffee mugs because let's face it, I really just don't sleep. I'll do the dishes, I promise, just give me time and maybe a couple of reminders. Same with laundry; if my load is in your way please just yell at me to move it. I don't mean to, it just happens.
I hardly sleep so if you ever need anything at any weird hour, I'm your girl. I will be as quiet as I can in the creepy hours of the morning. I like to sing, loudly and not all that great, so if the music is too much just ask for me to tone it down. I do have headphones, it is just sometimes out loud seems more satisfying. I procrastinate like it is my job for a living so any time you stress about cramming for a test just know I am 88% of the time awake and will gladly cry with you.
I forget things a lot and say things I will do later and later never comes. I am really loud and truly I don't mean to be, it is just the way I am. You will probably see the same shirt three times a week, every week, and it will continue to be the same shirt for the rest of the year. If I'm on day three of no sleep just know to avoid me at all costs, and that mental breakdowns are just around the corner. I'll leave my stuff all over the living room (probably because I'm running late), and I will whine about things that I'm the cause of. Regardless of it all, of all my mess, I will do everything I can for you. I will leave class early because you're locked out and I know you have a test in an hour. I will go to Taco Bell with you at 2 a.m. and cry about going to Taco Bell with you also. I'll make dinner when we are all too broke to get our own food, and I'll buy us pizzas when finals have done us dirty. I'll braid your hair when you're still asleep and can't function, and I'll help you pick out your outfit for the date with that cute boy in your chem class.
I'll make you laugh when you need it and I'll lecture you when even you know you need it. College is hard and life is even harder. I'm a mess and a handful, but I come with some pretty great perks, too. Here's to the next 365 days, may we all survive together or take each other down trying.
