I travel a lot, and I actually have found a way to enjoy packing! If you follow these simple tips it might make packing a little more enjoyable for you and allow you to focus on where you're going!

1. Prepare The Week Before.

Start thinking about where you're going. Look at the weather forecast, think about what you want to wear when you're going to be walking around, or at the beach, whatever the activity is for the day. If you know exactly what kind of look you need, it will be way easier to narrow down your options.

2. Roll your clothes.

Giphy

Rolling your clothes allows you to make the most out of your space. Instead of folding them like you would see in a store and stack them, roll them and set them next to and on top of each other. This is more efficient and you can pack more.

3. Bring versatile pieces.

Depending on how long you are going to be gone, bring a few staple pieces that you can wear multiple times such as jeans or a winter coat. This allows you to save space and have a multitude of outfits at your disposal with less work.

4. If your friends want to, share!

If you and your friends or siblings are the same size, share clothes. I do this with my twin sister and we automatically have double the wardrobe we want in the place we are visiting.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
