25 Thoughts You Have While Packing For Spring Break

Wikipedia

With Spring Break approaching, getting the cutest swim suits, being ready for the beach, and having the perfect trip planned out is the source of all of your stress. Even with midterms looming, the thought of a break from school is the only thing that consumes your thoughts. The real struggle of getting ready for Spring Break is figuring out what to pack. I mean, you can only fit so much in a suitcase. Here are some thoughts we all encounter when packing for our much anticipated trip:

1. I probably won't wear this but I might so I need to pack it

2. What's the limit on how many shoes I can pack?

3. I don't know if I'll work out, but an extensive choice of athletic clothes is necessary

4. I might as well bring my entire makeup collection with me

5. Do I need to pack sunscreen if I'm trying to get tan?

6. Is it okay to bring a whole other suitcase dedicated to swim suits?

7. What if I want to do _______ on the beach? I need to pack just in case

8. What if it's randomly cold? I need to have ___ amount of sweatshirts to be prepared.

9. What if the hotel doesn't have my favorite snacks? These are a necessity.

10. I need this shirt specifically for an Instagram picture.

11. I totally need 3x more underwear than the amount of days there are on this trip.

12. Can I pack my dog too?

13. What about my best friend? I bet she can fit in this suitcase.

14. What if I get bored on the plane? I need to keep myself entertained!!

15. Do I need _____ or will the hotel have it?

16. I don't want to buy this on the trip so I'm going to pack it now.

17. Should I bring homework? Yeah that's not going to happen.

18. uGHHHH I don't have enough clothes for this trip

19. I need casual, formal, semi-formal, semi-casual, lounge, pajamas, swim wear, beach wear and all the wears in between.

20. Do I want to use hotel shampoo or my own stuff?

21. Does the hotel have enough closet space?

22. How many pairs of sunglasses should I bring?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
