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!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
