1. Figuring out when to start
Timing is key, you don’t want to start too early or too late.
2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need
Every store has their own list of what you need and you’ve reached a point where you can’t decide which one is right anymore.
3. Shopping for deals
Ads after ads, coupons after coupons, you go shopping all the time and hope you get the best deal.
4. Getting bins to put everything in
Buying bins after bins and hoping you have enough for all the essentials
5. Figuring what you can’t live without
You can’t just take your entire room and place in your dorm. You need to figure out what you need.
You can’t just take your entire room and place in your dorm. You need to figure out what you need.
6. Going through clothes to find what you need
You have too many clothes and you don’t want to forget your favorite pair of sweatpants.
7. Finding out your siblings took something from you
You knew that top was somewhere, turns out it was in your sister’s dresser.
8. Fighting with your parents.
You know what you need and despite what your parents say yes you need that poster.
9. Trying to plan things with your roommate
If they don’t live by you, the discussion of who’s bringing what becomes harder.
10. The fear of forgetting something
While overpacking is a thing you’re scared you’ll forget something. You go over what you packed in your head a hundred times.
11. Move in day
You thought packing made you nervous but here comes move in day, this makes packing look like nothing

15 Times 'Parks and Recreation' Has Summed Up Your Life
Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

Liz Keysmash
Amidst my hectic college career, I always find time for one thing, even on the busiest weeks: Parks and Recreation. This show has made me laugh and has made me cry, but most of all I have related to this show more than I would like to admit.
Here are some "Parks and Rec" moments that relate to life struggles that just about everyone faces.
1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.
We’ve all been there. You practically live in the library the week before the test and still, chemistry crushes your soul with every midterm grade.
2. When your crush finally texts back.
FINALLY! I mean yeah, it took him 4 hours, but at least he still texted back...right?
3. When payday comes around.
When you see those numbers rise and you feel rich for a full minute, and then realize you need to pay for that expensive review session because chemistry is hell.
4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.
*scroll* *scroll* then that heart pops up out of nowhere...oh no, what have I done?!
5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.
Oh no she didn’t! It is the fifth week of classes, she should know by now that I have called permanent dibs on this seat!
6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.
How could they do this to us? Make us fall in love with the character and then just rip them away from us like this?
7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.
This is the moment you have been waiting for.
8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.
Why is being an adult so hard? Why is chemistry so hard?
9. When someone asks for your last fry.
Seriously?? My last fry??
10. When you try a new health-food craze.
Kale? Quinoa? What are these foreign and healthy foods, and why are they in everything now??
11. When you get new clothing.
New shoes can make you feel like you can take over the world, one step at a time
12. When you check your bank account.
This is more heartbreaking than realizing that you’re out of clean underwear and need to do laundry. Or chemistry.
13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.
Still not as good as mom’s home-cooked meals, but close enough...kind of.
14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.
Haha, nice try.
15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.
Ron Swanson is my spirit animal.

14 Reasons April Ludgate Is Every College Student's Spirit Animal
We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

Facebook
April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation is notorious for her "I don't care" attitude. She speaks her mind without caring what anyone thinks of her. Fans love her because she isn't afraid to be herself. April can seem cold and negative, but she's really just fearless and strong-minded. And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.
1. Most students just take life day by day.
2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.
3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.
4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.
5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.
6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.
7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.
8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.
9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.
10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?
11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.
12. And eat pizza for every meal.
13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.
14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.
Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Why are girls consistently so late? They just can't help it. Our internal clocks are always just a few minutes behind, or maybe more for some of us. Arriving on time to class is a challenge every morning. If you're continually finding yourself being the last one to walk into class, here are 13 possible reasons why you didn't quite make it on time.
1. You spontaneously tried a new hairstyle....that you hated
You decide to curl your hair a little differently, but your curling iron has taken over. You try and run your fingers through your hair, but it only becomes a jumbled frizzy mess. There's not a fat chance you will leave the room looking like this and you HAVE to fix it. You're late, but at least no one will mistake you for the reincarnation of Albert Einstein.
2. You tried on 20 different outfits
You open your closet and stare at your clothes dumbfounded. You try on your new top from Forever 21 and think, "No, this shirt looks just like a knock-off of the Anthropologie shirt I actually want." One thing leads to another and all your clothes are now on the floor. With one minute left before class starts, you put on a t-shirt because you've just given up. You're late.
3. You stabbed your eye with your mascara
You've applied foundation, eye-liner and eye-shadow. Wow, you even contoured a little. To finish off, you apply mascara to your eye lashes and suddenly your back-up alarm goes off (you know, the one that sounds like a siren going off signaling a zombie apocalypse) causing you to jump and stab your eye! Tears fall down your cheeks ruining your perfectly air-brushed look, and your mascara is everywhere. You know you must start over. You're late, but at least you don't look like a clown.
4. You got caught stuck in bed checking social media
Your natural instinct is, of course, to grab your phone to wake yourself up. As you start to scroll through your Instagram feed, you realize that you've looked at a year's worth of photos from your friend that went off the deep end since they went away to college. Thirty minutes have now gone by and yeah... You're late.
5. You were trying to impress someone
Word on the street is that McHottie is crushing on you. There's no way you're going to let this one get away, so you go the extra mile to look as put together as Michelle Obama, no matter how long it takes. Perfect outfit? Check. Perfect hair? Check. Perfect make up? Check. Late? Check. Maybe you're not so put together after all.
6. You forgot to check the weather
You slide on your skinny jeans and slip on your favorite sweater. Loving your trendy style, you walk outside feeling ready to take on the day. However, it's so blazing hot that your skin is already sizzling, and you've only taken five steps. OK weather, bipolar much? You know you'll be miserable all day, and will sweat more than a man who's about to meet his future father-in-law if you don't change. That's right, you're late.
7. You just don't mind being THAT girl
You walk into a full class, embrace the glares and the dirty look the girl in the front row throws at you as you confidently make your way to an open seat in the back. Unashamed, you take your seat and get settled. You are late and a proud disruption.
8. You decided to wear shorts and realize you have to shave your legs
Ew Gross GIFfrom Ew GIFs
You are stubborn and have it set in your mind that you WILL wear your hipster high-waisted shorts. However, your legs resemble that of a woolly mammoth. You know no one will actually notice, but you fear that your porcupine leg hairs will steal the limelight from your fabulous new shorts. There's no debate here; you take the time to shave your legs in the sink and now... you're late.
9. Your bed was just too warm compared to the Antarctic weather outside
Your bed was so cozy and soft and at the perfect temperature. You just couldn't get up, could you? You know that leaving your bed will be equivalent to getting hypothermia after doing the polar bear plunge. Gratefully, you rest for an extra 10 minutes. Lazy and late you are.
10. You debated too long on skipping class
You just can't make a decision to skip or to not. You could say you're getting ready for class, but really, you've paced around the room and come up with a solid 10 good reasons to not go. You have a test you could study for, you could take a shower or maybe call your mom! After you've spent the morning debating with yourself, you realize that your professor takes attendance. Good luck, you're late.
11. Your roommate steals the shower before you
You are towel wrapped and ready to rinse and repeat. You exit the bedroom noticing that your roommate is now suddenly missing. As you approach the bathroom door, you hear the squeak of the faucet, followed by a burst of water. That thief. At least you're late and it wasn't your fault this time.
12. You're rewarding yourself for being on time last week
You let out a drawn out yawn and make your way around the room in a sloth-like fashion. You take the time to comb every individual strand of hair and eat a gourmet breakfast, aka microwavable oatmeal. There's no need to rush, you deserve to be late.
13. You overslept your alarm
Classic.

How To Deal With Being Sick While Living On Campus
Living in the dorms can tear down your immune system.
19h

It's finally flu season! It's around that time in the school year where everyone on campus is getting sick, especially if they live in the dorms. It's hard to take care of yourself while being sick at school, but here are some coping mechanisms to get you on the path to feeling better!
1. Drink lots of tea with honey.
Drinking tea always soothes my throat whenever I'm sick and adding honey will only help! Every kind of tea has its own personal benefits for you, so you can never go wrong with a cup of tea while sick. Different teas provide you with different nutrients, and the more nutrients your body has, the better it will feel. My personal favorite flavor of tea is vanilla honey tea.
2. Get a good amount of rest.
Something my dad always tells me when I am sick is that "sleep is the best healer." I have to say, in my experience of getting sick, making sure that I am getting enough sleep has always helped in my process of feeling better. One thing to be careful of is to be sure that you aren't getting too much sleep because that could opposite effects.
3. Make an appointment with the health center or at a doctor's office.
If you don't feel better in a couple of days, it is best to either make an appointment with the student health center or your doctor's office, or go to a local Urgent Care to see if you can be prescribed any antibiotics to help you get better. The important thing to remember about antibiotics is to also take probiotics to balance it out and to help you boost your immune system in the future.
4. Stock up on soup and crackers.
A lot of times, being sick also means having a weak stomach, so eating light foods like soup is always the best route to take until your stomach is strong enough for more solid foods. Also, try to eat toast or crackers with your soup to help settle your stomach.
5. If you are able to, go home.
Finally, staying in the dorms may be one of the factors in your lack of healing. If a parent can come and get you, or if there is any way for you to go home, you should take advantage of this. Don't worry about missing class, if you email your professors and/or have a doctor's note, they will most likely be understanding.
