30DPC: Day 16

Day 16: A picture of someone who inspires you.

 

Marisa is my grad school library buddy from University of Chicago. She is possibly the only reason I did not lose my sanity while sitting in the library for 12 hours a day. This girl is the most organized person I have ever met. Although she doesn't always realize it, her life is more "together" than anyone else I know. This is no exaggeration. Everything about her is extremely well thought out and well executed: her color coded closet, her hygiene (who actually brushes, rinses, and flosses multiple times a day, every day? I'm lucky if I floss once a day, let alone more than once a day - shh, don't tell my dentist), her diet, her finances,  her exercise habits, her hobbies, her blog, her efforts at going completely Green and eco-friendly....I could go on and on. Every time she gets a new idea or goal, it inspires me to make my life better and well organized too. For example, she made a 2010 New Year's resolution to read a different book every week for the entire year. 52 weeks, 52 books. And she did it! Not only did she read a new book every single week, she wrote a review/summary for most of them. Can we say over achiever? She may be the first person I know to successfully complete a New Year's Resolution.

So Marisa, even though you are also in your mid-twenties and have no idea where your life is going...you're doing an awesome job getting there!
