14 Thoughts During Move-In Day: Corinne Edition
Business Insider

Move-in day is upon us. It's time to say goodbye to your family and friends at home, pack your prized possessions, and return to the magical land of COLLEGE. The following thoughts always seem to cross my mind when moving into a new apartment - expressed through the (slightly) annoying, yet relatable, Corinne from "The Bachelor!"

1. I desperately hope my apartment is ready and there is not a problem with my keys.

Walking into the office for move-in is always nerve-wracking. A good first impression will go a long way, and student workers usually crumble under the pressure of a busy move-in day.

2. Oh yes management was great. And they had free candy!

Friendly and smiling faces welcoming you into a building is exciting, but there's nothing better than seeing free candy or welcome bags waiting for you.

3. I'm too excited to see the room, so I'm going to look at it before bringing all of my stuff.

Also if there's a problem with your keys, it's much better to find out now, rather than when the weight of moving boxes is causing the feeling to disappear from your arms.

4. WOW THIS KITCHEN.

Enough said. Beautiful countertops, lighting, and plenty of storage space in the kitchen makes for a happy college girl.

5. Hmm I'm not sure if four people can comfortably live in this space.

College-aged girls have a lot of stuff. A LOT. I will never believe a move-in between four girls in one small apartment will go smoothly, but it (usually) always does.

6. I pay parking by the hour, so I should probably actually start moving my stuff from the car instead of just standing here and admiring the apartment.

It's always fun to imagine how you will transform the empty room into your own personal space, but daydream as your carrying boxes, and don't waste time.

7. Wow, I brought up much more than I thought, I wonder if I need all of this.

I haven't worn this shirt in the past three years, but who knows, I might wear it once or twice. And ten pairs of shoes was probably unnecessary.

8. I am definitely getting my workout in for the day.

A flight of stairs to the second floor isn't that bad until my arms are numb, my quads are sore from climbing, and the only thing in the world I want to do is nap.

9. Or maybe the week.

Literally just leave me on this stairwell. I'll live here. I can't keep moving anymore.

10. I should go on Pinterest when I'm done unpacking and learn how to make the apartment aesthetically appealing.

I began preparing my Pinterest board for my apartment/house in middle school. I've been planning for years.

11. HOW DO I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF?

Yes, I do ask myself this at least twice during every move. And do I ever use all of it? NOPE.

12. I'm packing light next time.

I always say this, and then I always end up packing the same amount of items each time. I'm losing.

13. Debating between unpacking and napping.

There's a constant struggle of desperately wanting to be done packing, but also seriously needing a nap.

14. Falling in love with your new apartment.

You can finally sit back and enjoy your new place to call "home."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
