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."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
