I love traveling, it is one of my favorite things. Another one of my favorite things to do is pack! Most people hate it but I don't know why, it means you are going somewhere. I recently had to pack and I know I am not alone when I say these things go through your head when you pack:

1. I am going to stay so organized this time.

2. Let me plan out all of my outfits.

3. Wow, I have a lot of clothes.

4. I am going to bring what I need, and nothing else.

5. Well I guess I could bring this just in case I need it.

6. I am going to be there for five days, might as well bring 15 pair of underwear. You know, just in case.

7. I'm not even bringing tennis shoes but I'll bring three pairs of socks. I might get cold.

8. If I am bringing socks, maybe I should bring tennis shoes.

9. Oh rats, I have to bring shoes. I'm not going to have enough room.

10. Maybe I should bring a bigger suitcase.

11.Then I could totally bring more clothes.

12. No, I told myself I wasn't going to over pack.

13. Screw it! I'm bringing it all!

14. UGH! I have nothing to wear.

15. Oh wait! My floor is covered in clothes.

16. I really need to stop shopping........HAHA like that is ever going to happen.

17. What would happen if I didn't bring a razor?

18. Five days without shaving.....YIKES, I'll find room for a razor. Its small.

19. Now I have to go to Target to get travel size stuff.

20. Well since I'm getting travel stuff I may as well get candy for the plane. And gum. And Chapstick. Maybe a new book, and might as well look at clothes.

21. NO MORE CLOTHES!!

22. How much makeup do I actually need to bring?

23. I'm only going to bring twelve tubes of lip gloss, sounds reasonable.

24. I'm glam, I have to bring so much makeup! I don't even know how to scale back on that.

25. What purse am I going to bring?

26. Why did I not think of this sooner? I have to find something that will match everything that I am packing. Oh good lord, DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!

27. How heavy can my suitcase be?

28. Calls mom "How heavy can my suitcase be?"

29. I can't take anything out. I need everything that I packed.

30. Now on to the carry on.

31. If I bring a book I have to bring a back up. Its a long flight, I'll most likely finish one and want to move on to another one.

32. What am I allowed to bring.....can I bring lipgloss?

33. Calls mom again "What are the rules about bringing liquids on a plane?"

34. Good thing I just bought candy at Target, I can put it in my carry on.

35. Looks in mirror for 20 minutes trying to make sure the carry on, the suit case and the purse I chose all match. If they don't that could be real embarrassing.

36. Well now that I know I match I have to find a wallet to match everything.

37. MORE DECISIONS!!

38. Sits on floor to admire all the pretty things I own.

39. OH! I didn't even see this shirt, maybe I should have packed that too.

40. I bet I can roll it up and find room for it.

41. WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR ON THE PLANE????

42. Have to make sure it matches my carry on ;)

43. Takes a break to snap chat the progress I have made.

44. WHERE IS THE PLANE EMOJI?

45. I finally think I am done packing! Lets go travel!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

153

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2116

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a part of any organization undoubtedly comes with the pitfalls of being grouped into negative stereotypes, and sororities are certainly no exception. Here are the top few things, that I find at least, are some of the most irritating misconceptions that find their way into numerous conversations...
