40 Thoughts You Have While Packing For School

I’ve just realized that I need to start packing for yet another year of school because I have no time. Here are the thoughts that I have running through my head.

1. All right, let’s see. Where do I start?

2. I mean, I guess I could find all the stuff I packed away at the end of the year.

3. Now where exactly did I put all those boxes?

4. Wait. I swear I had more.

5. What even is in this box?

6. Wait, OK. Let’s be organized.

7. Let’s make this pile closet stuff, and this bed stuff.

8. Did I even use this last year?

9. Um, let’s try making a list.

10. This is so disorganized. I don’t like it.

11. Wait, I need another box.

12. I give up. Let’s move on to clothing.

13. OK, what am I not going to wear within the next three weeks?

14. Did I even get to wear this dress?

15. Do I really need this dress at school?

16. But it’s such a cute dress.

17. Wait, if I’m not back home until October, I need fall clothes.

18. Ugh! Where did I put my fall/winter clothes?

19. Wait, what shoes do I bring?

20. Did I leave clothes for myself to wear for the next few weeks?

21. Am I going anywhere important that requires me to keep nice clothes out?

22. Oh wait! Can’t forget jewelry.

23. Oh, and some of my makeup.

24. Wow, OK. That is a big pile of clothes.

25. Oh well, everything in a duffle bag for now. I shall fold later.

26. Do I have anything in my room that I need to bring to the move-in pile?

27. All right, let’s tackle this mess.

28. Wait, where did this come from?

29. Oh shoot. I need to buy this ASAP.

30. Maybe if I ask my parents nicely they will pay for it.

31. So I need this from Target and this from Costco.

32. I want this from Amazon, but that can wait.

33. Did I really bring all of this last year?

34. Finally! One box is complete, I hope.

35. Why do I feel like I was more organized last year?

36. Why do I unpack things? I should just leave it next time.

37. Last box, oh my goodness.

38. I really hope I didn’t forget anything.

39. Let’s double check to make sure.

40. Finished. Now can I go back to school already?
