20 Thoughts You Have While Packing For College
Huffington Post

College is just around the corner. Most of you have probably already gone, but if you’re a late leaver like me, the realization of how much you still have to do in the next two days is hitting you like a ton of bricks. Although you’ve probably asked yourself (and your mother) 500 questions already, here are some of the top twenty statements college students probably say while packing the day before they leave.

1. How is all of this going to fit in the car?

2. Do I really have to bring all of this cleaning supplies?

3. No mom, fifteen T-shirts is not enough for an entire semester.

4. Yes, I know there is a washing machine.

5. What if I decide to dress up for class?

6. Is this can opener really necessary?

7. Am I really going to want to eat all these healthy snacks I bought yesterday?

8. Do I have enough command strips to hang all of this?

9. What if they lose my stuff when they carry it up?

10. Will I have enough room for all of this in my dorm?

11. Six dresses ought to be enough, right?

12. I’m definitely going to need all four of these makeup palettes.

13. You can never take too many athletic shorts, right?

14. Do I really have room for these giant rain boots?

15. What if it gets cold before I come home for fall break?

16. Did I pack my toothbrush already?

17. Why did I pack so much makeup?

18. This is never going to fit in the car or in my room

19. I think I’m forgetting everything.

20. There’s a Target close to campus, right?

Welcome to college kids, there’s nothing more fun than trying to shove your whole life into one car while saying goodbye to everyone around you. Enjoy.

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!

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.

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.
