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!"

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

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

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!
