Should I Unpack My Suitcase?

It's Another Break and I'm Clueless

Should I Unpack My Suitcase?
Huffington Post

It's always so awkward. No, I mean it. It really is. That unanswered question that you debate over for so long you never actually get an answer.

Another break has rolled around once again and you find yourself packing to go home. You're just bursting at the seams to finally get some down time and spend it with your family, or more specifically your dog.

When you finally arrive home you find yourself standing over your suitcase questioning if you should unpack it. Eventually, you just shrug it off and move on.

Suddenly week(s) have passed and you realize that you never unpacked. "Next time I think I'll unpack," but next time it doesn't happen either.

So should we unpack between breaks or not?

I think that the big thing is that people don't want to have to go through all their clothes again to find the ones they brought with them. It is easier during a season change because you are able to drop clothes off and pick up some new ones. If you do unpack it may also be easier to forget clothes that are important.

A good thing about unpacking though is that you don't have clothes in bags getting in your way. It is much easier to navigate around your room this way as well. Another good thing is that you are able to detect what is clean, and what isn't, a lot easier as well. We all do want to be wearing our cleanest clothes.

Personally, I don't think even the smartest scientists will be ever able to answer this questions. It is one that will go down in history. So do you or don't you unpack your suitcase? Challenge yourself next time you find yourself at home to do the opposite. Sometimes it can be quite fun to switch it up.

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.
