That girl that never has her keys, wallet, or phone. But, somehow has her life in order. It doesn't work out for anyone else, but she pulls it off looking sexy as hell.
Did you see that girl in Biology today?
The one with the latte and shit falling out of her backpack?
Yeah. How does she get such good grades. She is the biggest hot mess I know.
