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!

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
