52 Thoughts Every Shopaholic Has While Packing for College

I thought that packing for college would be like packing for a really long vacation, and I have never been more wrong. It's the equivalent of moving into a first apartment, and the packing is brutal. Especially for someone like myself, who really loves her clothes.

After several hours of sorting, folding, hanging, and justifying, I've finally weeded my clothing collection down to a not so small collection of pieces I consider to be essential. Here is the thought process that created my college wardrobe.

1) Wow, I move to school in a month. I really should start packing.

2) Ooh, Netflix.

3) Wow, I move to school in a week. I really should start packing.

4) Ooh, Pinterest.

5) Wow, I move to school in 3 days. I really should start packing.

6) Ooh, Twi- NO.

7) Must. Find. Suitcase.

8) All my clothes will absolutely fit in here.

9) Will all my clothes fit in here?

10) I should only pack what I'll wear.

11) I'll wear this.

12) And this.

13) And this.

14) Yes, Mom, I do need 21 pairs of pants.

15) Now I won't have to do laundry for 3 weeks.

16) I'm basically a math major.

17) Oh my God, how do I do laundry?

18) MOM?

19) I wonder what the weather will be like at school.

20) Oh, wait, exactly like it is here.

21) Do I really need a parka before Thanksgiving?

22) Tbh, probably.

23) One pair of socks, two pairs of socks, three pairs of socks...

24) A person can never have too many pairs of socks.

25) So that's where I put it.

26) I didn't even know I owned this shirt!

27) I definitely need to bring it.

28) I don't even have THAT much clothing.

29) It's absolutely all going to fit.

30) Maybe.

31) I almost forgot to pack shoes.

32) All of my shoes serve a purpose.

33) Therefore, they all come.

34) Maybe I should buy more shoes.

35) I wonder if all of this is going to fit in the car.

36) What if it doesn't all fit in the car?

37) It's probably all going to fit in the car.

38) We'll just bring two cars.

39) Why are dorm rooms the size of a shoe box?

40) I'm going to need two closets.

41) I wonder if my roommate wants a closet.

42) Actually, I can't do this.

43) I'll just be a commuter.

44) Then I can wear what I want.

45) Get it together.

46) I don't need 21 pairs of pants.

47) Or 5 pairs of boots.

48) This isn't so bad.

49) This will definitely all fit in one closet.

50) Maybe.

51) I should be a professional organizer.

52) I should also stop shopping.

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.

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.

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.
