Whether you're a serial hoarder or you're the very organized type A kind of person, you're still bound to find some hidden treasurers while cleaning out your dorm room at the end of the semester. Here's a list of things every college student finds while packing up at the end of the Spring semester, that they may or may not have forgot about.
1. Bobby pins and hair ties.
They’re like the glitter of the hair accessory world.
2. Wall decorations.
They probably fell down at the very beginning of the semester but you just didn’t have the energy or effort to hang it back up.
3. Bottles.
Water bottles, soda bottles, and well, you know, lots of glass bottles. You could probably fill a recycling plant with how much you’ve accumulated over the course of a few months.
4. Important papers.
Ah yes, you finally found that important paper you needed about 3 weeks ago to study for a test that you should’ve passed. I’m not bitter, you are.
5. The roommate’s personal belongings.
Somehow you’ve accumulated shoes, clothes, skin care products, hair products, and jewelry all from your roomie. The list goes on and on, but depending on if they go searching for everything or not, you may have just acquired a whole new wardrobe and skin and hair regime
6. The match to your other sock.
Hey, there you are! I thought the drier ate you?!?!
7. The books you were supposed to return last semester.
Two words: well sh*t
8. Money.
If you’re really really lucky and one of the college gods blessed your forgetful little mind, you may just find whole wads of cash dispersed in various places during the cleaning process that you didn’t even know you had.
9. The things your room came with.
Oh, there’s the microwave sensor and surge protector that in the back of my mind I knew I’d find! Now I don’t have to spend all of the cash I just found on fines from the university.
10. Letters and cards from family members.
People wrote such sweet things to you during the semester and you didn’t have the heart to just take the money out and throw the message away at the time. But now that you absolutely don’t have any room in any of your 57 bags for them, Uncle Jimmy’s words of encouragement might just have to make their way into the wastebasket.
11. Books.
These are the books you said you were going to read when you had “down time” but in college, THERE ARE NO DAYS OFF.
12. Chargers.
It’s not like you spent a ridiculous amount of money on new chargers because you broke them. You paid the price because somehow you lost all of them, but now at least you have a backup if your new ones do break.
13. Your glasses.
Wow, how magnificent it is to once again obtain the gift of sight! JK, you wore contacts all semester but it would’ve been nice to have to convenience of glasses once and awhile.
14. Remembrance of that friend you cut out.
The feeling of nostalgia bubbles up inside of you as you find a picture or belonging of a friend you once had. That feeling lasts for a good 2 to 3 seconds before you snap out it and realize how awful that person actually was to you. You rip up whatever the thing is like the bad b that you are and leave it behind forever with no remorse.
15. Your will to live.
The day you thought would never come finally has- IT’S SUMMER. There in the far distance towards the light, you are reacquainted with your old friend-the will to live. You two walk together hand in hand towards the sunshine and endless summer days and there are only good vibes from here on out. Cheers to surviving another semester of college!
