Neat or Sloppy,"What Kind Of Person Are You"?

Neat or Sloppy,” What Kind Of Person Are You”?

After I read the essay “Neat People vs. Sloppy People” and”The Messy are in Denial” from the book At a Glance I identified myself as a sloppy person. I can’t see myself as a neat freak, because I wouldn’t make it thru the week because everything around me would be chaotic. The reasons why I identified myself as sloppy person is for the following three reasons,one because I’m the type of person who likes to keep memories in general, two I'm a person who has everything all over the place, and I’m very dependable on those who are super organized.

The first reason why I considered myself sloppy is because I’m the type of person who likes to keep memories in general. When I mean memories in general I’m talking about photos, scrapbooks, and things that have a meaning to me and that I keep. Unlike a person who is neat doesn’t like to keep things and take room where they could use it for their daily base. I’m detail oriented which means that I love making scrapbooks and taking my time to make them look nice. I also like to keep things that have a special meaning or specified an important event or remind me of something. Alot of people might think of it as trash,but under my eyes their unforgettable memories,that I want to make them last forever.

The second reason is that I’m a person who can’t keep things in their place. For Example Monday morning the room looks spotless, but by Tuesday night the room is a mess. I have shoes all over the room, clothes in the closet, restroom and so on. I can’t do my bed because I’m always running late; my handbag is a mess full of old receives and things that I don’t really need. In other words I’m not an organize person, I live my live as it comes. The only way that I would clean my room would be when my roommate asks me to, but if she doesn’t I wouldn’t do it.Another thing why I can't keep things in their place is because I use them once and eventually later on during the day I will reuse them again,so I don't hesistate to put it in its place.Therefore I can't keep things in their place and its not that my a nasty trashy person I just simply disorganized.
Thirdly, I'm very dependable on the people who are super organized they seem to make my life easier and keep me in track in what I'm supposed to be doing.When a person is well organized they seem to set the example to me and emphasise me to keep myself organized.Not only that,but when a person is disorganized it doesnt mean that their no good for themselves its just that they dont know how to manage their time that sometimes they always need that extra help.That's why its always a nice to have friends to come around and rescue you from the mess.
In conclusion I believe that its hard to find hard core neat people.The reason why I say this is because everyone in this world is disorganized at some point and we cant live our live full of neatness because its trully impossible. We could try it for a couple days,but eventually we wont be able to keep it up for more then a couple days.Therefore I also know that many of us keep things that have a significant value to us,it would take space off your wall,but for nothing in the world you would throw it away.Finally,its wonderful to have friends,relatives and even beloved ones around to help when your drowing in your mess,its always helpful and well appreciated from those who sometimes have a hard time been neat.

  1. Reading Monica's post about neat and messy people it gave me another view of what a messy person is. As I said in my blog the essays that we read were very extreme when describing a neat or messy person. She gave it another point of view as of what makes her messy. She emphasized a messy person as someone who is sensitive who loves sentimental value objects. Which is not a bad thing at times. Monica mentioned that she depends on people who are neat, which shows that neat people can be helpful and not mean as the described in the essay. The essay was well thought and good positive points of a messy person were made.The only thing is that when reading her blog i saw the lack of attention she dedicated while writing it. She has words on her writing that mean something else but you can tell what she was trying to write. Also the transitions between paragraphs were to noticeable; she needs to work on making them smoother. This writing piece makes some good points and supports the honest person she is, but the only recommendation I would make is for her to reread all her pieces and make sure it sounds good.

  3. I can relate to you because sometimes i can be very messy but overall im a neat freak at heart. There are some spelling errors but i can understand what you mean. Also it has alot of details describing your sloppyness and how not everyone is a neat person.

  4. This is really well written because she is very descriptive. She tells the reader she is sloppy and in the body paragraphs gives backup. Overall, this essay is well written.
