10 Reasons Why Moving Really Sucks

Recently, I got the chance to move into a new apartment, which was an exciting opportunity (as it should be). I was super pumped about it...until I actually started the moving process.

1. You don't realize how much stuff you actually have until you start packing everything, so you literally just want to avoid the process.

2. You don't have enough boxes and storage bins (I actually dumped some of my already packed belongings onto the floor and used the empty storage bins to get even more stuff).

3. You run into the most random items and start reminiscing.

4. The new place doesn't have enough space to fit everything you own, and neither does your car (insert crying emoji here).

5. Your friends offer to help, but if they do, you won't know where anything is. Also, they're not the most careful people.

6. You have to clean the old place, like REALLY clean.

7. You're angry because your room was never as clean as you're leaving it now.

8. Talk about back pain.

9. You have to tell people where your new apartment is because they don't know where you live now.

10. Settling into the new place always feels awkward for the first couple of days because you're so used to the order you had at your old apartment.

Despite the trials and tribulations of moving, there is one positive thing to look forward to: redecorating!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
