I’ll admit it. It happens every year, but this year a little more so. I procrastinated packing to return to college, but don’t we all? There is nothing I look forward to until the day I can return to campus and see all the friends I have been separated from over the summer months. At the same time it is 2015, and has no machine been invented yet to make this process easier? Relive the emotions I experienced over the last two days as I have packed my life into the trunk of my car.

1. Denial

One week until school? "That is plenty of time", I think as I go back to watching another episode of Bachelor in Paradise on Hulu.

2. Motivation

Days after your previous revelation a wave of positivity hits you as you decide to start the process of packing up your room. Squeezing your entire closet into two boxes has never looked more promising than in this moment of positivity.

3. Realization

You have climbed the mountain that is packing your clothes and you are feeling on top of the world. And then you realize that this is only the first of a long to do list, and panic sets in.

4. Frenzy

Anxiety sets in after surveying the amount of packing left to finish, and you run around like a madman trying to get everything done. You fight through the frustration and somehow manage to close your trunk lid on the first try.

5. Relief

Nothing is better than the feeling of sitting in your car and breathing a sigh of relief that you are finally finished. Until you realize you get to unpack everything again when you get to school. But that can wait until another time because at least you have a car ride ahead of you first.
