The Endless Cycle of Moving out

The Endless Cycle of Moving out

For many of us, the end of the semester means that it is time to pack up and move out of the residence halls. As we have to move two or three times every year, we are practically masters at moving. But as this is my third year packing my life into three giant bins and random bags, I've grown to loathe the process. Here are a few things that we all feel when moving out.

1. If only packing was this easy

Unfortunately, it's absolute chaos.

2. Nothing seems to fit.

It all fit perfectly last time you packed, but now it has decided to all of a sudden take up more room.

3. You realize that you have way too much stuff.


You're not quite sure where it all came from, but it's defiantly not going to fit in your car

4. You can't decide what to keep or throw away.

You think to yourself "Can I use this?" Or maybe it's sentimental, but you can't decide whether or not it's practical enough to keep. (Helpful tip: find a stone cold friend to make the decision for you.)

5. Overwhelming sadness

It just doesn't feel like home when your stuff is all packed away.

6. You don't want to be away from your roommate.

You've spent nearly every day together for the past year and you don't want it to end.

7. You just want to play.

The semester is over and you're exhausted from finals and you don't want to do more work.

8. Procrastinating because there's so much work to do.

The bed is packed so you just lay on the floor and listen to throwbacks to avoid responsibility.

9. Trying to move large furniture

So much awkward furniture. It's such a pain to wiggle it all through doorways and into the car.

10. You don't want to leave.

Living on campus is great, and you have so much freedom. But now you must go home.

11. Realizing that this is an endless cycle.

Well, there's four years of undergrad, and who knows what after that. What we do know it that it will probably involve moving again, and again, and again...

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
