Moving In Freshman Year vs. Senior Year
E!Online

Moving in is always a hassle. Some find packing things up to be the worst part, others find unpacking an impossible task. Either way, you are sure to discover just how much you hate packing throughout your four years as a college student. From some version of home-to-dorm to home-to-different-dorm to home-to-cross-country-internship to home-to-sorority-house to home to-college-apartment, there is no way anyone can go through four (or five) years of college without realizing that freshman you is not the same mover as the senior you.

Freshman Year: "Only two months until I move in! Time to pack."
And unpack, and repack, and unpack and repack.

Senior Year: "I think I'm moving in tomorrow. Probably should do some laundry."
...or I think my apartment has a washer and dryer. We'll find out, I guess.

Freshman Year: "I'm going to organize all my stuff in alphabetically labeled, color coded boxes"
Office Max is the new Forever 21.

Senior Year: "My favorite suitcase is a garbage bag."
The "Hunger Games"
of clothes. If it fits in the bag, it survives.

Freshman Year: "I am definitely buying this $60 Urban Outfitters chalkboard"
TBT to livin' large with high school graduation money.

Senior Year: "Is it rude if I steal toilet paper from Alden Library?"
I mean, I do pay tuition.

Freshman Year: "I NEED to bring both pairs of black heels and all three pairs of rain boots."
LOL.

Senior Year: "Will anyone notice if I wear these converse for every occasion?"
More importantly, do I care?

Freshman Year: "I can't wait to meet my roommate! I hope she's not weird."
... and by "hope" I mean I stalked her, her family and her coworkers on every social media platform and the results are promising.

Senior Year: "I don't know why they do, but thank god my roommates put up with my weirdness."
#Blessed

Freshman Year: "I don't want to leave home ..."
What if I'm bad at college?

Senior Year: "I can't wait to be back hOUme..."
What if I'm bad at being grown-up?

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.
