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.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
