The 8 Stages of Packing

Summer is coming to end and you know what that means. Everyone's favorite activity. PACKING! Yup it's that time of the year where you have to start getting ready to go back to school. You talk about how excited you are to see all your friends and wear all your cute new clothes you bought over the summer. But none of that will happen if you don't pack. Nobody actually packs when they say are going to everyone waits till the last minute. I am definitely guilty of this.

This is how people actually get to packing;

1. You are laying and bed and you tell yourself that in 30 minutes you will start packing.

2. It's been over 30 minutes and you are still bed and you realize you never got up so you give yourself another 30 minutes and then you will really get out of bed this time.

3. Okay so now that you have given yourself an hour to prepare for packing you finally get out bed and start.

4. You take out your bags put them down open them up and say "Why can't I pay someone to do this?"

5. Now that you have begun; you start packing a few shirts, place them in the bag and call it a day.

6. It is now a week later from when you started packing and you realized that you are leaving for school in two days. So now you are overwhelmed and in panic mode since you waited till the last minute.

7. A week ago when you had all the time in the world you were folding your clothes and placing them neatly in your bags. Now that you have two days left you start having a panic attack and throw everything in as fast as you can.

8. Lastly once you finished freaking out and finished getting everything into your bags you realized wow this took me 30 minutes I should of done this a week ago.

After reading this if you haven't finished packing, GET UP AND FINISH NOW!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
