5 Questions For Myself About Moving
cloudfront.net

WHEN DID I GET SO MUCH STUFF?

Considering I couldn’t really own anything I wanted to own for the first nine months of the school year, the fact that I have so much stuff always confuses me. It just accumulates. That and the fact that I am a sucker for Amazon prime and online shopping sales. So really there’s no one to blame but myself for my situation of trying to desperately stuff everything I own into a few boxes. This is normally when I start wondering why we even have to move if I’m literally only going up a floor and down the hallway. I could definitely do my summer program while not being surrounded by everyone in it.


CAN I MAKE THIS IN ONE TRIP?

The answer is 100% no. That doesn’t stop me from trying everything I can to attempt one trip, and then probably spill everything I own on the ground or in the elevator. I also know that I’m not going to be making it in one trip since I am attempting to put half of my belongings back into storage since I didn’t use them all of this summer period. But can I make each different destination into one trip? Again, probably not since I seem to be experiencing a clothing hoarding situation.


WHY DID I TAKE THIS OUT OF STORAGE?

Legitimate question. Why did I bring this box of socks for a uniform I haven’t worn all summer? Why did I bring a bag of sweaters to my room in July? The world may never know, but I am seriously questioning past-me’s sanity right now. All I can say is I chose the wrong clothing to bring to my room and now I have to cart it back.


WHY CAN'T YOU STOP FALLING FOR ONLINE DEALS?

Seriously! I own way too many clothes now, and I don’t even wear half of them. If I was smart, I’d stuff them all into a random box and stuff that random box into storage, but who knows when that’s going to happen. I feel like I need someone to watch over how I spend my money or someone who stops me every time I try to make an online purchase and goes “Really? Another witty T-shirt? You don’t need that in your life.” Actually, I bet you can hire someone to do that for you. I probably should.


HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MOVE OUT BEFORE SOMEONE MOVES IN?

This is legitimately my worst fear when it comes to moving rooms. This is where question two comes into play. If I don’t make it in one trip, will I come back and find that someone has tried to move into the room that I’ve just vacated? Will they steal my stuff? Ok, the answer to the latter question is no, but I’ve heard stories of people trying to get into rooms before the person in them has moved out.


All in all, I think I need a class on how to stop falling for internet deals and how to stop hoarding things. Don’t keep something just because you think you might need it later. As I am currently experiencing, you probably don’t and now you just have more trips back to a storage unit.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
