40 Thoughts All Girls Have While Packing For College

Ah, the dreaded experience of packing for school. We all love college, but the one thing we can't stand is the packing process. Not only is it stressful, but packing up your whole life and trying to cram everything into the trunk of your car is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. Here are some thoughts we've all had during this grueling time of packing for college.

1. Okay, time to pack for school...where do I start?

2. Pinterest, help me pack.

3. Definitely should have started packing sooner than a week before I leave...

4. Seriously though, how am I supposed to pack my whole life into bags?

5. "Mom? Can you help me pack?"

6. I'm an adult. I can do this. If I can survive college, I can survive packing for it.

7. Okay, what's the best way to pack all this stuff?

8. Let's make a list of all the things I need to bring.

9. T-shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, shorts, jeans, sweaters, socks, shoes, dresses, pants, cardigans...that's just the clothes.

10. This is the one time when having too many clothes is a bad thing.

11. How would the Kardashians pack up all of their clothes? They must have more clothes than even I do.

12. Does this still fit me?

13. Will I really need this?

14. Of course, when I say I won't need it and I don't bring it, there will definitely be a time when I do need it, so I'll just bring it in case.

15. I guess I'll just buy whatever I forget when I get there.

16. How many t-shirts do I need? Am I going to wear them a lot?

17. Let's be real, the only thing I'm going to wear is t-shirts.

18. Don't forget the straightener!

19. When did I even buy this?

20. Oh, there's that shirt I thought I lost...

21. I have no idea when I'm going to wear this, but I'll just bring it.

22. 1 pair of leggings, 2 pairs of leggings.

23. Don't forget the extra contact lenses.

24. 3 pairs of leggings, 4 pairs of leggings.

25. I guess six pairs of socks are enough; I mean, I'll do my laundry once a week right?

26. And one more pair of leggings for good luck.

27. How do I fold clothes again?

28. I'm making improvement, narrowed it down to my favorite 20 sweaters.

29. Is my closet going to be big enough for all of my clothes?

30. Will I need a toothbrush holder? If so, can't forget that.

31. What about shower shoes? Is that still a thing?

32. Is my brain physically capable of remembering all of this?

33. Packing for college is honestly harder than college itself.

34. Is there a service that can just pack all my stuff up for me? I should invent that.

35. Don't forget my wallet, that would be bad.

36. Okay, so I have all of my clothes laid out. Now what?

37. Where do I put all my clothes? Suitcases? Garbage bags?

38. I think I've done my job, now it's time for Mom to put everything in it's place. She's basically a professional packer.

39. All right, clothes are packed. I feel accomplished.

40. Oh, I still need to buy my textbooks...

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
