Organization? not for me! (2B)

As long as I can remember I have been extremely disorganized. I remember that at the end of every year in high school I would pull a book out of my backpack and 20-30 papers would come out with it. I never had folders or binders to organize myself, as well as no place to put old papers away at home. Well, you see that’s what I told people, but in all honesty there were places to put papers and there were shelves to store useless old graded assignments. See when it comes to organization it’s not about the lack of resources, it’s about laziness. I always had the time and resources to be that perfectly organized student. But why clean your backpack when there’s the awesome TV to watch, or friends to hang out with? I always thought that it was useless. I did great in school despite the disorganization. I always had my homework done and never was missing a paper. Sure it might take me an hour or two to find “that paper” but it was there, somewhere in the endless pit of papers that was my backpack.

If you look at the backpack above, that level of disorganization doesn't even compare to my backpack in high school. I remember teachers AND CLASSMATES gasping at my backpack. They literally inhaled loudly at the sight of me opening it. People even made jokes about how my backpack was bigger than me! (I won’t lie, it kind of was.) But that’s beside the point, at the end of last year I made a vow to myself that I would be organized in college, and that my half of the dorm would be clean. That my papers would be on the proper shelves and that at the end of every day I would clean thoroughly to maintain this organization. So far I have kept to this vow. And I see no reason I cannot keep to it, however only time will tell if my willpower is stronger than that of the dreaded TVs.
