In case you forgot momentarily, Twitter can be a really mean place.

Twitter user Alyssa Bordelon A.K.A @og_pocahontas learn that the hard way, when after uploading an #OOTD mirror selfie, she was dragged all over the site. Why? Just look at her room.

As Twitter users pointed out through a variety of jokes, Where's Waldo-style crops and reaction GIFs, the Louisiana woman's room is messy as hell.

It all began innocently enough. Feeling herself, Alyssa uploaded a picture of herself in a sequin gown, writing "Going to dinner because I needed an excuse to wear this."

Much to the hilarity of her fellow tweeps (the image has been retweeted over 4,000 times and like over 8,000 times), her glamorous outfit was in stark contrast to the deplorable state of her bedroom floor in the background of the photo.

Poor Alyssa. She couldn't catch a break. Thankfully, some Twitters showed more solidarity with the messy college student than others.

Being an enterprising young woman, Alyssa has even turned her newfound Twitter fame around by asking people to donate to her GoFundMe page, called "Pay My Tuition and I'll Clean My Room."

"If I reach my goal ($10,000 = 1 year of tuition at my school), I will quit my second job and devote my life to cleanliness."

Not sure there's much of a connection between cleaning one's room and working two jobs, but hey! Do you, girl.

And let whoever among us who's never had a messy room throw the first stone.
