The pain of packing.

7 Things Everyone Thinks When Packing
Zola Unveiled

1. When did I get this much stuff?

Somehow by the grace of God, all of your stuffed animals, blankets, clothes, and every other small thing you forgot about has been able to coexist in your small room. You don't know when you even bought half of it. Trying to pack it...that's definitely when you want to throw in the towel.

2. I don't have the right stuff.


You have clothes and a few homey items, but somehow you don't have everything you need. So, of course, a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond seems appropriate.

3. Where did my bed/floor go?


Mt. Crapmore has exploded onto everything. The only way to get around it, become a gymnast and defy all laws of physics.

4. How am I fitting this in my car?


A Toyota Camry is only so big. Is there a way that all fifteen bags, mini fridge, vacuum, food supply, odd collection, and more can all fit? This is where your childhood tetris skills come in handy.

5. I've been looking for this!


I distract myself when packing by finding things and using them to any extent to avoid finishing packing. I'm notorious for snapchatting people things I've found, looking through books and pictures, etc.

6. I wonder if I should just give stuff away?


Other people could really enjoy some of this stuff. But it's my stuff and I don't wanna give it away. But would I really miss it when I have all this other cool stuff? But it's mine. Yeah, this cycle goes on for about an hour.

7. I'm DONE!


The moment the last bag is closed you feel a swelling in your chest. You realize that the unimaginable has happened. You are FREE! Until you have to pack it all up again. Hopefully it won't be too long until you have to go through all of this pain again.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
