The Undeniable Struggles of Packing and Moving Back to College
Info for Families

It's that time of year again! School is starting, you're buying books (hopefully) and it's time to pack up all your stuff and drag it all to your dorm. As a procrastinator, this is especially stressful for me. I know it's my fault, but it's still annoying to have to move all of those things into your room, am I right? These are the undeniable struggles of moving back to college.

1. You told yourself a month ago that you should start packing for school, but deep down inside, you know it's not going to happen.

2. Now it's a week before move-in day, and you are mildly freaking out.

3. It's the night before you move back, and you're screaming internally.


4. You start ripping your closet and drawers apart, hoping you don't forget to pack your favorite shirt.

5. Trying to pack all of your items in your car can become a little bit of a mess, but somehow you manage to fit it all in.

6. As soon as you get to school you realize how much work it's actually going to take to move everything into your room.

7. Dragging everything up a few flights of stairs is slowly killing you inside as you try to catch your breath.

8. Finally, everything is in! But you have to unpack it all and you're a little sad inside.

9. You tell yourself that you're going to be completely unpacked by the time the day is over, but a week has gone by and you're living out of the totes you packed your clothes in.

If you're a procrastinator too, hopefully this will really relate to you. Happy move-in everybody!

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. 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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
