15 Thoughts You've Had While Cleaning Out Your Closet

Let's be real here... as much as we all dread cleaning and reorganizing, it's just one of those things that comes along with life. With that being said, I hope I can speak for the majority of us when I say that cleaning out one's closet or bed room isn't always an entirely awful experience. On the other hand, if your cleaning sprees are too painful to talk about then closing this article is probably your best bet. But if you're like me and you find the "fun" in going through old belongings than keep reading. I guarantee you've had some, if not all of these thoughts while cleaning out your closet!

1. Today's the day!

You wake up feeling so productive, like you are ready to take on the mini world you call your bedroom.


2. It won't take that long.

So you thought...


3. One box at a time, no biggie...

Before you know it, one box turns into five and you've trapped yourself in the closet.


4. Ohhh I remember that day!

Nothing like finding old pictures of you and your friends and reminiscing on the good ol' days.


5. I used to look like THAT!?

The pre-puberty, Girl Scout photo album has just surfaced, and well, let's just say the awkward years were rough times!


6. It's already WHAT time!?

Naturally you wasted an hour or more on your phone updating every social media site, Snap Chatting your progress or lack there of, and sending your friends pictures of the old photographs you came across.


7. Eww I worn that?

Funny how our middle school selves used to think we had keen eye for fashion.


8. I used to love that shirt!

Proceeds to waste more time squeezing into old clothes.


9. I don't even know what this is...

A dingle hopper?


10. Okay this is going no where...

It's going on hour three and basically nothing has been accomplished.


11. Ok, now that's nasty!

It's inevitable that in at least one old purse lays a spit out wad of gum crinkled up in a wrapper.


12. I'm hot!

Well duh, closets are stuffy.


13. I'm hungry!

That my friend is the boredom talking.


14. Must. Keep. Folding.

You'll be fully equipped to work in any retail outlet when you're done!


15. I can't do this anymore!

No I'm not giving up...I'm just finishing it another day!

(That's what they all say...)

Feeling inspired by this article? You are oh so very welcome. Think you can conquer the impossible? Find a couple of hours and go through your old stuff, you'll be surprised at the long lost "artifacts" laying around. I recommend bringing snacks and a drink because sooner or later you may end up barricaded behind boxes. Just be carful not to drop any food because that's a whole 'nother' can of worms...literally!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
