20 Thoughts I Have While Moving
Film4 Productions

Whether you're moving to college for the first time, moving after your last semester, or changing apartments as a seasoned "adult," moving is always at least 10 times worse than you think it's going to be. Dreams of Pinterest-worthy walls are quickly soured by the sheer amount of boxes, which seem to multiply when you're not looking. You're sure what's going to happen now: death by boxes and desperation.

Despite all odds, you make it out alive. However, you likely won't steer clear of some of these 20 thoughts during your moving process:

1. “Oh my gosh, I am so excited to get in this new place!”


2. “Everything on my ‘dream apartment’ Pinterest board is going to go perfectly. I must have it all.”


3. “Wait. Why is my pocket wet? Oh, my wallet’s just crying.”


4. “How many boxes do I need? I probably only need four.”


5. [Neatly packs away knick-knacks] “Man, I am a pro at this.”


6. [Runs out of boxes] “Why do I have so much stuff?”


7. “I swear I didn’t have this much stuff before.”


8. “My stuff must multiply when I’m not looking, which is funny because I don’t own any gerbils.”


9. “Okay, I’m going to be organized. Kitchen items will go in this box. This box is for toiletries.”


10. [One hour later] “Yes, obviously, this box of cereal goes with my sweaters because…reasons.”


11. “Oh my god. Now, I have to carry it all out.”


12. [Carries one box to the car] “Just call me superwoman. My super strength is astounding."


13. [Carries three more boxes] “I…hate…everything.”


14. “How did all of this fit in the car before?”


15. “Whatever, we’ve got three feet of space for exactly a billion boxes. Let’s go.”


16. “Operation Load Car: Completed. I am the queen of moving. Fight me.”


17. “Oh, no, I have to carry it all in again.”


18. “Did I mention that I hate everything?”


19. “Okay, time to unpack.”


20. [Looks at Pinterest board] “You know I think ‘cardboard-box-chic’ is a good look. Let’s go with it.”

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.

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.

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.
