The Reality Of Packing For College

The time for school is here and now, and quite frankly I’m just not ready for that commitment. Although packing is actually the most frustrating thing in the world, it has to be done, and this list is the reality of my packing experiences.

  1. Create a mindset that you’ll get everything done in 2 hours tops.
  2. Turn on your fave Netflix show for some background noise.
  3. Make some cookies to snack on while watching.
  4. Open your suitcase.
  5. Click next episode.
  6. Throw in a pair of shoes to the suitcase.
  7. Decide you need a drink break... (Wine preferably)
  8. Throw every t-shirt you own into one suitcase, cause that’s the designated suitcase for your prize possessions.
  9. Take a drink while singing the opening song of “Orange is the New Black.”
  10. 10. Close the suitcase.
  11. 11. Give yourself a reward, like another glass of wine.
  12. 12. Call your best friend to come help you pack.
  13. 13. Make more cookies, brownies, also margaritas.
  14. 14. Realize your friend didn’t actually come for help, but for the alcohol.
  15. 15. Shove your pillow pet, sweat pants, and shot glasses in the suitcase and boom.
  16. 16. Lastly, get in the mindset that you’re actually not going to get anything done.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
