Thoughts You Probably Had On Move In Day

It's more stressful than I remembered.

Thoughts You Probably Had On Move In Day
Pony Express Moving

Recently, I moved back into college which of course meant Move-In Day. This is easily the worst day of the school year. Not because you're back at school, but because of all the stress and watching your life literally unfold. There are plenty of pros also: you get to see your friends (or in the case of freshmen, make new friends), and finally put together the dorm room you've either planned in your head, pinned on Pintrest or in my case, both. I've complied a list of every thought you probably had, or said, or both on move in day: the good, the bad and the ugly. They are in no particular order as they tend to come randomly. Hopefully, this is relatable to more than just me, so I don't look like the worst human to walk on a college campus.

"I'm not ready."

"I didn't get enough sleep."

"I'll hit snooze...again."

"Do we really have to go?"

"I mean I could just not go...and drop out...but I actually can not do that."

"I need to take one last shower without shoes on."

"Do we really need another picture of me in front of the house?"

"Do we really need another picture of me in front of the car packed with all my stuff?"

"Are we ever going to get on the road?"

"We need to not show up when everyone else is going to, but I know we will."

"DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER PICTURE?"

"Wow...my whole life fits in the back of a car...is that depressing?"

"I packed WAY too much stuff."

"Mom, can we make a trip to Target."

"Dad, I forgot something we need to go to the bookstore."

"Dad, will you please carry everything from the car up three flights of stairs for me."

"This is too heavy."

"Look at all this sh*t. I don't even need half of this."

"I don't want this actually."

"Mom, will you please bring this home for me?"

"Mom, do you think this looks good?"

"Mom, will you make my bed for me?"

"THAT DOES NOT GO THERE."

"Fine."

"When do you leave?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Yes, Dad."

"Just move and let me do this."

"Why are there so many people moving me in?"

"We do not need this many people to move one human into a dorm."

"Actually, we do need this many people."

"I thought I brought less this year..."

"Did I really have this much stuff last year?"

"When is lunch?"

"Can we go get lunch? I'm not ready for dining hall food yet."

"Don't leave me here."

"So...when can I go home?"

"Wait, I actually don't want you all to leave."

"Goodbye is the hardest word."

"I'll miss you!"

"I already miss them."

"Do you really need a picture of me in the dorm?"

"And one on the bed?"

"I'm tired."

"Thank you for all of your help! I could not have done it without you!"

"Please don't actually drive away...in the car...without me."

"Mom, you forgot this."

"Oh right, I do have friends."

"AHHHH I MISSED YOU."

"Okay, I really love the quiet now."

"I do miss my family though."

"I love you!"

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
