11 Reasons Why Moving Back To College Is The Literal Worst

It's about that time again! The dreaded "moving back to college" phase. I would never have imagined I would move this many times within the past 3 years, but here I am! If you're anything like me, I know your struggling packing up the last 20 years of your life into one small car, once again for the MILLIONTH time. So let me tell you all the reasons why it absolutely sucks.

1. Where do I even begin?

Does anyone every truly know the first place to start when moving? What do you start with first? The kitchen? Bathroom? Or just don't start packing at all until it's an hour before you're getting kicked out of your apartment.

2. Everything is disorganized

You're at the point where you have waited until the last possible minute to start packing so now you're throwing all your sh** into random boxes, suitcases and duffles. Now you have no idea where your new Stila lip gloss is because you could have quite possibly thrown it in your tennis shoe at this point.

3. What about the ranch?

I don't know about you, but does anyone else worry about how they're going to get cold condiments from point A to point B without them going bad? Let's face it, I'm not willing to waste a 3/4 full bottle of ranch just to throw it out and get a new one, once I get to my new place. #savetheranch

4. Moving Alone

There is nothing worse than packing up by yourself. You never truly realize how heavy your shit is until you're moving it all by yourself. Do yourself a favor and get a boyfriend or have your parents adopt a grown boy before heading back to college for the fall. Friends are good too.

5. "Where did I put my phone charger?"

One piece of advice I have after moving is to keep all electronics together so you're not frantically looking throughout 25 moving boxes for an iPhone charger.

6. Do I know anyone who owns a truck?

I know its weird, but if you have to call a random guy you graduated with to borrow his s10 to haul a mattress back to school... you gotta do what ya gotta do! Trucks, vans, station wagons they all do WONDERS.

7. More Totes/Boxes

There's nothing worse than running out of boxes or totes. Hit up all your friends that work in restaurants and ask them for the extra boxes they throw away. Also, make sure to go to Walmart and stock up on a few totes, but make sure they're big enough to make jungle juice in when you get back to school! ;)

8. You have more stuff now than what you did the first time you moved

How in the F did I accumulate so much useless crap?! Welcome to college. Say goodbye to that crop top from freshman year you're still praying you'll fit in again someday. It ain't happening, sista.

9. Jewelry

How does one organize bracelets, necklaces, and earrings? You've lost matches for your socks your whole life now be prepared to lose everything during this move.

10. Cleaning

In order to get the ungodly amount of money back from the security deposit you paid, you have to make sure the place is spotless. Now you're putting more money back into the place you're moving out of, by paying for cleaning supplies and to fix all things that were broken along the way.

11. Saying goodbye

You've managed to load up your entire car plus some, and now all you're left with an empty place. It's bittersweet to leave a place you shared so many good and bad times with. As you close the door and turn in your keys to move onto a new adventure, you smile, maybe even shed a tear, leaving all the memories behind.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
