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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
