Thoughts You Have While Packing Up Your College Dorm

"How do I get all of this stuff here in my car?"

Thoughts You Have While Packing Up Your College Dorm
Ashley Faulkner

One of the most stressful things about finishing up the school year is having to pack everything up. It is insane to think of all the stuff that is accumulated during the year, essentially doubling what you originally brought with you. It obviously takes time to get everything out of the small dorm room. This leaves some time for self-reflection and questioning how exactly you found yourself with all of this stuff.

"Why did I wait until now to start packing?"

"Oh, look the shoe I lost the second week of classes."


"It was so dumb to bring a Keurig."

"Maybe this would be easier if my room wasn’t a mess."

"I don’t want to take all of my canvases off the walls."

"I am really going to miss my roommate."

"Should I put it in the donate pile?"

"I am so excited to sleep on a bed bigger than a twin XL again."

"I accumulated so many T-shirts this year."


"Where will this stuff fit when I get home?"


"Why did I bring 15 coffee mugs with me."


"Why am I using my last day packing?"



"Maybe I can just throw it all in my car unpacked."

"I hate folding."


"Have I eaten today?"

"I can’t forget my phone charger."

"Awe, look how cute we were in the photos from last semester."

"Why do I own this dress?"

"This stuff is going to take so many trips."

"Thank God for the elevator."


"I will plan better next time."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
