Moving Out As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

"Daddy's home!"

Moving Out As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

It's the middle of May and that means we college kids are moving back home for the summer! This is an exciting time because we get to be reunited with our animals, friends, family and beds. Before all of the fun summer festivities begin, we have to move out all of our stuff from a small dorm to our cars, and back home. Here is this entire process brought to you by How I Met Your Mother!

1. You start looking all around your room and think that everything is going to fit in your car.

Yeah, that back trunk can totally house all of those suitcases, boxes, and stuff you never used!

2. You start packing your clothes into many suitcases and large tubs.

"Did I absolutely need to bring all of these sweaters? I didn't even wear them once!"

3. You sell back all of your textbooks (and get like, none of your money back).

Or you place them in that beautiful, beat up, orange Chegg box. Off to UPS you go!

4. You clean out your desk and see all of the unused school supplies sprawled out in the drawers.

You used the same two pens and mechanical pencils all year.

5. You pack up all of the stuff from under the bed.

"What's that?" "Ew, don't touch it!"

6. You wash all of your sheets and such because who wants to go home with dirty stuff, right?

Mom will be proud.

7. Time to clean! That means vacuuming, dusting and wiping down all of the furniture.

At this point, you really wish you kept up on your chores during the school year.

8. While it was nice having the dresser in the closet to save space, it's a pain to take it back out!

But so worth it because there would not have been any room for dance parties!

9. Now you're realizing how much stuff you do have! But you still think it will all fit.

Totally!

10. Realizing you forgot to return your room key to the RA's office.

This is the part where you say goodbye to your lovely RAs. Don't worry, you'll see them in the fall!

11. It's time to move all of your crap in your car!

The most intense game of Tetris ever. But somehow you manage to get it all in there.

12. Now you realize that you were so wrong before and you have too much stuff!

"Why did I bring this bean bag, I never even sat in it?!"

13. You start your car and roll out of campus. See you in the fall!

SUMMER!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
