Moving In To College Housing Is Hard

It is that time of year again. The time of year when parents come in droves to move their precious child into their apartment, dorm, or house for the school year. This time of year can be a very emotional one for the parents and child as they say goodbye until they see one another again. This can also be an emotional time due to the lack of air conditioning in most older places in Ann Arbor. You may find yourself actually crying at night because you have never sweat so much in your entire life and you actually think that you bed is more like a kiddie pool of sweat and dismay than an actual bed. If you are one of those kids who have been blessed enough to be given housing in one of the air conditioned dorms, chilled apartments, or have an unreal self regulating temperate that causes you to never sweat, then good for you but I would like to tell you right now that I’m jealous and I hate you for it.

This past week I moved into my house that I’m living in this year. After carrying my excessive amount of clothes, shoes, and miscellaneous things that will probably fall under my bed and never be seen again, up to my room I can confidently say that I have never sweat so much in my entire life. During these excruciating two hours I had many thoughts, some of them included choice words that my mother would not be too pleased to hear me saying. But, some thoughts seem so relatable to most college aged students that I decided to share them now:

“I’m so hot.”

“I’ve never sweat this much in my life.”

“Can you pass out from sweating too much?”

“No boy will ever be attracted to me looking like this.”

“Do I have a sweating problem?”

“Does my body not regulate temperature?”

“This is the most exercise I’ve gotten in months.”

“My fitbit says I’ve gone 23 stairs, I feel like it should be more.”

“I haven’t even hit my step goal yet.”

“I’m so hot.”

“I wonder if I hide out in the car if my parents will just finish up for me.”

“Does Selena Gomez sweat like this?”

“I need to be more like Selena.”

“I just wanna look good for ya, good for ya.”

“This is horrible.”

“How are there still things in the car?”

“Should I cut my losses on those things?”

“We need an elevator.”

“I’m so hot.”

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
