You never know how much crap you have until it's all laid out in front of you on your bedroom floor.

24 Thoughts You Have While Unpacking From College

The school year is over, and you're finally back home. Mom and Dad loaded up the van on move out day, shoving all your stuff in the trunk until it finally shuts close. But, now that you’ve made it back to your humble abode, it’s time to start unpacking. The floor you once saw in your bedroom is completely gone. Putting everything away has got to be the worst part because there are so many things running through your mind.

1. How do I have this much sh*t?

2. Where did this come from?

3. Where am I supposed to put this? I have no idea where this was before.

4. How did all this crap fit into that tiny room at school?

5. Ew, I need to wash my comforter. I think I only washed it once this year.

6. I never wore this. Why did I bring this to college?

7. I’m not going to use this; I’m just going to throw it away.

8. I need to reorganize my room.

9. This is seriously going to take me forever.

10. *Documents messy room on Snapchat* “If anyone likes unpacking, come on over!”

11. I have too many T-shirts.

12. Why didn’t I take my winter clothes home over spring break?

13. I definitely brought home way more crap than what I left with in the fall.

14. I need to vacuum.

15. “Mom, do you want this?”

16. Shoot, I forgot to give this back to my roommate.

17. I still need to return that textbook.

18. I feel like I forgot something…or lost it.

19. I guess I’ll save some of this stuff for next year.

20. What’s the point of unpacking half this sh*t if I’m only home for a few months?

21. I really don’t want to do this again.

22. I really need to get rid of this, but I just can’t.

23. OK, I’m almost done. I can see the floor!

24. Finally, a nice clean room.

It may be clean now, but just wait a few months before you're getting ready to go back to school and all the clutter will be back where it was in the first place: all over your room.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
