As the school year comes to a close, we are bombarded with all sorts of work: exams, term papers, final presentations and, as if that isn't enough, add the dreaded "packing up the dorm room" to the never-ending list. Everything from assignments to study guides seem to be piling up, along with boxes upon boxes filled with the past eight months' worth of junk. It's just that time of year -- the time for cramming for tests and cramming suitcases into your car. I know that it can all seem overwhelming but just remember that you're not the only one, and you will get through it. Here's how packing up your room will most likely go:
1. You'll probably start by taking down all of your pictures and decorations, and you might even think that this might not be too bad.
2. But then you'll realize that the command strips lied when the paint comes off of your walls.
3. At some point, you'll have to clean out your fridge, which probably contains old Chinese food and leftover pizza.
4. Next comes under your bed, where you'll find all sorts of stuff you didn't even know you had.
5. You might even find the swipe that you had paid $20 to replace earlier in the semester.
6. But then you'll find some coins, too, to help you feel better about the wasted cash.
7. While cleaning out your closet, you'll wonder why you brought so many workout clothes/sneakers since your few gym outings looked like this:
8. "I don't think I even wore this once," (referring to half of the nice clothes you brought).
9. You'll wonder what you were thinking wearing your white Converse to frats.
10. After finally getting all of your stuff packed up, you won't believe you were actually able to fit it into that tiny room.
11. When your parents get there to load up the car, they'll yell at you for owning way too much stuff.
12. Eventually, you'll realize it's actually time to leave, and you might get a little emotional.
