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...

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
