41 Thoughts When Packing For The Summer
Juli Shulem

The end of the school year: a time of stress, excitement and anticipation for the upcoming months off. On top of a never-ending list of final exams and projects that need completed, you have to pack up your room so that you can venture home for the summer. This is easier said than done, though. Here are thoughts that go through many people's minds as they pack up the place that has been their home for the past year:

1. OK, I’m going to get a head start on this.


2. Crap I didn’t mean to sleep for four hours.


3. I guess I’ll have to start tomorrow.

4. Or maybe the next day.

5. Shoot I’m going home in 12 hours and nothing is packed.

6. Why do I procrastinate everything?

7. If I was pursuing a Bachelor’s of Procrastination, I would have a 4.0.

8. My room is only 10 x 14. This will take an hour at most.


9. Time to get down to business.

10. Wow, how did I accumulate so much stuff?

11. This room is like a clown car.

12. Seriously, how does this all fit in here?

13. There is no way this is all going to fit into my car.

14. This is really hard work.

15. Maybe I should take a break to eat.

16. Oh look! I found some cookies I didn’t know I had. Score.


17. It’s a shame I have to take down all my decorating.

18. Oh boy that hole in the wall was not there when I moved in.

19. Really hoping that I don’t get charged for this.

20. I should really do my laundry before leaving.

21. Or I can save it as a present for my mom? Let’s do that.

22. How have I only packed up two boxes?

23. I would pay big money for someone to this for me.

24. I wish I had money.


25. Maybe the $2 I found under my bed can buy me some dinner.

26. There is still SO MUCH to pack.

27. This is more overwhelming than my entire finals week.

28. I have to unpack this all again when I get home.

29. I’m already dreading it.

30. Maybe then I won’t procrastinate.

31. LOL, who am I trying to kid?

32. Why unpack when I have to do this all again in three months?

33. Oh my gosh I have to do this again in three months.


34. Hopefully I get better at packing and planning.

35. I probably won’t. Old habits die hard.

36. FINALLY FINISHED!


37. It’s going to take an engineering degree to fit this all into my trunk.

38. I can’t believe how fast this year went.

39. Didn’t I just move in last night?

40. I can’t wait to hibernate for a week when I get home.


41. That way I can avoid unpacking for as long as possible.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
