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...

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
