20 Real Life Struggles That Happen When Packing For Vacation As Told By The Belcher's

How much underwear is too much underwear? What if you accidentally pee yourself twice everyday? How many shirts do you need? Shoes? What makeup do you pack and what do you leave? Are you forgetting something? The resounding answer to all of the above is, "I have no clue..."

1. When you realize you failed to pack until last minute.

Be honest, we have all done it. It may have been purposefully or accidentally, but regardless - we have all waited until the day before to pack and gone through the twelve stages of grief in a matter of twenty minutes.

2. When you can't decide what to pack.

When did you buy so many clothes and why do you only wear variations of five different outfits? Who knows. Figuring out what to take is intense though. Do you pack your entire closet just in case? How will you know what you want to wear until the day you're wearing it? What if you want to wear something but realize too late that you didn't pack it?

3. When you give up on packing and decide to watch Netflix.

Packing is really hard. Everyone deserves a break. Maybe not a four-hour Netflix-binge break, though. We all know "one episode more" means you'll be there until dawn.

4. When someone tells you to hurry up.

Perfection. Cannot. Be. Rushed. You'll forget something, right? Things will get all mixed up and clothes will get left and/or wrinkled. Others can buzz off.

5. When you catch yourself hardcore daydreaming about your trip.

Daydreaming is the sin of sins when you're supposed to be packing. What else is a bigger time waster than dreaming about the trip you're getting ready to go one? You know, apart from what we discussed in #3.

6. When you crank up the tunes.

Everyone loves a good dance party and dancing around can only help you get things paced and ready, right?

7. When you try on last summer's clothes and they don't fit right.

https://www.reddit.com/r/reactiongifs/comments/2fd6k4/mr_after_i_worked_out_for_the_first_time_in_4/

Screeching in agony at all the cute summer clothes that no longer fit is a battle cry to many tribes. However, in this case, you're just frustrated as heck.

8. When someone asks if you really need to pack that.

https://giphy.com/bobs-burgers/

Do you need 39 pairs of underwear, 16 pairs of socks, 19 shirts, and 12 pairs of shorts for a week? Yes, yes you do.

9. When someone says, "If you don't pack, you'll end up naked."

https://thenerdyrebellion.com/tag/bobs-burgers/

Is naked really that bad? Like, come on! Look at the perks: no tan lines, no laundry, no worries.

10. When your bag is too heavy, so you start wearing things.

https://wifflegif.com

Airport weight limits are the bane of your existence. There is no way on God's green Earth that you can make your suitcase weight 3 pounds less in the middle of the airport. Okay, well, there is one way.

11. When you realize just how hard packing really is.

Packing is the atonement for the sinfully amazing trip you're about to take, right?

12. When the mirror takes a stab at your "summer body."

https://giphy.com/bobs-burgers

"Ouch," is all I can say. That mirror has no right being that rude. But you're actually beautiful anyway, so flaunt it, yo.

13. When you get told you don't actually need 39 pairs of underwear.

https://giphy.com/bobs-burgers

I mean, they have a convincing argument, but they're totally wrong. They do not understand - you might not either - but you totally need them.

14. When you think you're finished packing but realize you miscounted days.

https://giphy.com/bobs-burgers

Wait, you mean you're going away for nine days? But you only packed for seven? Can you work it out and re-wear something? Unlikely. Time to restart.

15. When the end seems no where in sight.

https://giphy.com/bobs-burgers

How can packing one bag end up taking approximately nine hours? That's impossible, isn't it?

16. When you keep adding things even though your suitcase is a ticking time bomb.

https://travismaybe.tumblr.com/post/43487081927

You can see the seams budging and you just know that adding one more pair of shoes is a dangerous game, but you may need them.

17. When you think about giving up on packing and just winging it.

https-//giphy.com/foxtv/

Rocking the trash bag pants could totally become a new trend, right? Heck, if the right people see you, you could be #trending on Twitter.

18. When you enlist others to help zip your suitcase but they tell you to pack less.

https-//imgur.com/gallery/dFnxyvb

Squeeze it! Sit on it! Do. Not. Show. Weakness! And most importantly, no backtalk, mister.

19. When your suitcase miraculously zips.

You can almost see the clouds parting and the angelic choir singing. You didn't think it would happen, but there it is, right before your eyes: divine interventions.

20. When you finally finish.

https://www.reactiongifs.com/happy-dance-5/

Hallelujah, it is finally over. Now, to pack the car and head out to on your vacation-extraordinaire!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
