11 Thoughts You Have While Packing For School
hiddensparkles

Unfortunately, August has snuck up on all us college kids this year and it's time to pack for school. As you are carefully organizing (or randomly throwing) your stuff in boxes, you may find yourself thinking about the following.

1. Do I really need this shirt?


The answer's usually no, considering you brought hundreds exactly like it, but you always bring it anyways. Just in case the others spontaneously combust.

2. I’m not gonna bring any folders. Who needs folders?

Yet when it comes to school supplies, they never find their way in your bag. This may be because class is the last thing you want to think about.

3. My roommate’s gonna love this.

You always end up bringing more things for her than for yourself; clothes that look better on her, snacks that she likes. That is true friendship.

4. How am I gonna fit all this in my drawers?

You can't even fit all your clothes in your drawers at home. How are they going to fit in your dorm room which is 50 percent smaller?

5. I’m gonna need more boxes.

Not even half done and you run out of boxes to pack stuff in. It's going to be a long year.

6. What’s our room theme?


It's always important to coincide room décor with your roommate for a nicely blended, all-around cute room. A bad room theme can set your mood and make or break a school year, so choose accordingly.

7. I can't do this anymore. I’m staying home.

This is probably like the fifth time you have quit packing. Just try again tomorrow...or in a few hours.

8. Can I bring my cat?

How are you possibly going to make it six months without seeing your favorite pet? Might as well just toss them in your suitcase. Who cares if you get caught by res life?

9. I'm just gonna bring my whole mattress.

It can't be that hard right? Plus imagining sleeping on those crusty, old mattresses is already giving you back pain, so it will be worth it.

10. Do I really have to go BACK to Target?


Of course you forgot something so you have to go back for your hundredth trip to Target for a toothbrush and accidentally pass by the workout clothes section. Three hours later you're walking out of the store with a full cart and and empty bank account. Are you surprised? No.

11. I cant wait to see my squad!


This is usually running through your head every hour on the hour during the entire month of August because going back to school is only exciting because you get to see your friends again.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
