As the end of the school year approaches, packing can be both stressful and time-consuming if you do it wrong. Here are some tips on how to pack up efficiently and still get work done while you do it.

1. Plan your packing

Nothing is worse than staying up through the night packing the day before you leave school. Put together a schedule where you can pack in shifts and do work and socialize during the other times.

2. Pick the right type of movers

Do you have a lot of large items that you want to keep track of? Then, a storage unit is perfect for you.

Do you have some heavier items, but overall just a lot of boxes? Getting a moving company can be helpful.

Are you just concerned with storing boxes? Storing on campus or with a basic moving company is your best option.

3. Clean out

It's always helpful to have less to pack up, so make sure to either sell or throw away unwanted or unused items before beginning your packing.

4. Boxes

What kinds of items are you storing? If you just have basic items, regular boxes will work for you. If you have a lot of clothing, wardrobe boxes are great for hanging clothes in to store. If you have a lot of clear containers, then sealing and labeling them can be the best option.

5. Make a list

Make sure to number and make a list of all your boxes, so when you get them at your next location, you can assure that you have everything you started with!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
