My roommate and good friend moved in about 5 months ago, but she still hasn't really unpacked or organized her room; how can I help her?

My roommate is awesome! She is so sweet, and we were friends before, and she always says how happy she is to live in our apartment! I’m personally a very organized person and I like to keep my room cozy and uncluttered. It helps me concentrate and becomes my safe-haven.

Now on that note, after 5 months, my roommate still hasn’t unpacked her boxes, still hasn’t even hung her mirror on the wall! Her sheets barely hug her bed. She talks about getting her room together, but never does…and the reason it seems so weird to me is because her previous rooms were always very nice and well-decorated.

I’ve offered my help, and so has her good friend, but she refuses to take any of it. Every week she says she’s going to do it. I am worried that this is a reflection of her unhappiness. Do you think their is anything I can do or say to help her out? Her room is smallish and doesn’t get a ton of light, but we still have a very nice Victorian apartment with high ceilings, and she has a large closet.
